IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a security protocol that uses an optional Internet Protocol function to prevent manipulation and ensure the confidentiality of data transmitted as IP packets. IPsec encrypts data carried over the network, such as print jobs sent from computers to a printer. Because the data is encrypted at the network layer, applications that use a higher-level protocol use IPsec even if the user is not aware of its use.
IPsec supports the following operations:

Telephone line services 5

Tone or Pulse (Canada only) 5

If you have a Pulse dialing service, but must send Tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow these steps. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals.
a Do one of the following:
When Fax Preview is set to Off,
press (Fax).
When Fax Preview is set to On, press
(Fax) and Sending
Fax(es).
b Press Hook. c Press # on the machine’s Touchpanel.
Any digits dialed after this will send tone signals.
When you are finished with the call, the machine will return to the Pulse dialing service.

For Fax/Tel mode only 5

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you are at the machine, lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Pickup to answer.

Special line considerations 5

Roll over telephone lines 5
A roll over telephone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or “rolled over” to the next available telephone line in a preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not place the machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call would be transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will
work best on a dedicated line.
Two-line telephone system 5
A two-line telephone system is nothing more than two separate telephone numbers on the same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line telephone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the line for your machine.
If you are at an extension telephone, lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 between the pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing l51.

Converting telephone wall outlets 5
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the telephone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triplex adapter.
a Place the two-line TAD and the two-line
telephone next to your machine.
b Plug one end of the telephone line cord
for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.
c Plug one end of the first telephone line
cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
d Plug one end of the second telephone
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the left side of the machine.
5
Installing machine, external two-line
1 Triplex Adapter
TAD and two-line telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to place the machine on Line 2, which is explained in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.
5
2 Two Line Telephone
3 External Two Line TAD
4 Machine
You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machine’s wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.

Additional dialing operations 5

Dialing access codes and credit card numbers 5

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long-distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes of long­distance carriers and credit card numbers as Address Book numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate Address Book numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad (see Basic User's Guide).
For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on Address Book: Brother 1 and ‘7000’ on Address Book: Brother 2. You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the following:
To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number by pressing it on the dial pad. For example, to change the number to ‘555-7001’, you could enter the number (Brother 1: 555) using Address Book, press Apply and then press 7001 on the dial pad.
If you must wait for another dial tone or signal at any point in the dialing sequence, create a pause in the number by pressing Pause. Each key press adds a
3.5-second delay. You can press Pause as many times as needed to increase the length of the pause.
a Press (Fax).
b Press Address Book. c Swipe up or down, or press a or b to

Cleaning and checking the machine A

Clean the outside and inside of the machine regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. When you replace the toner cartridge or the drum unit, make sure you clean the inside of the machine. If printed pages are stained with toner, clean the inside of the machine with a dry, lint-free cloth.
• DO NOT put a toner cartridge into a fire. It could explode, resulting in injuries.
• Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the surface of the machine.
• DO NOT use cleaning materials that contain ammonia.
• DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt from the control panel. It may crack the panel.
• DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray, or an organic solvent/liquid containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the product. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock. Instead, use only a dry, lint-free cloth.
