About fax machines

Fax tones and handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. You’ll hear them after you dial and press

Colour Start

dialling During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake”, or connection, with the receiving machine.

Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for these quiet beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the LCD shows

If your machine is set to the automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up, your machine will continue to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues to show

Stop/Exit

press The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG

tones and the receiving machine’s “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so both machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60 seconds after the number is dialled. So it is important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

and they will continue for about 60 seconds after

Receiving

mode, it will answer every call

. To cancel receiving,

When you have an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD will decide the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions for connecting a TAD in this chapter. (See

device (TAD)

Connecting an external telephone answering

on page 1-10.)

INTRODUCTION 1 - 7

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an error. ECM transmissions are only possible between fax machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously being checked by the machine.

Your machine must have enough memory for this feature to work.

1 - 8 INTRODUCTION

Connecting the machine

Connecting an external telephone

You can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) as shown in the diagram below.

(Example for the U.K.)

When this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows

Telephone

INTRODUCTION 1 - 9

Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD)

Sequence

You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.

The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.

1 - 10 INTRODUCTION

If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.

Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line.

(Example for the U.K.)

TAD

When the TAD is in use, the LCD shows

INTRODUCTION 1 - 11

Connections

The external TAD must be connected as shown above.

Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.

Set the TAD to answer calls.

Set the Receive Mode to

Choosing the Receive Mode

(See

Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:

“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing

51 and Start.”

We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it.

1 - 12 INTRODUCTION

Using extension telephones (For U.K. only)

It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call. Additionally, fax receive code may not operate reliably in such a simple configuration.

This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a transmission at a pre-set time). This pre-set job may coincide with someone picking up an extension handset.

Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a master/slave configuration (see fig. 2 on next page). In such a configuration, this machine can always detect whether a telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line during that time. This is known as “telephone off-hook detection.”

The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 on the next page, and the recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure

2. This new connection configuration can be arranged by contacting

BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be inserted into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine. You can then leave the Receive Mode set to Fax Only to receive faxes any time of the day or night.

If the machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received.

If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX

It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate properly under all circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PBX.

If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operation of your machine. (and Custom features on a single line. on page 13-9.)

About paper

The print quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large quantities.

For best results, use the recommended paper.

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the “Basic” tab in the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting in the menu ( Also avoid stacking by removing each page after it exits the machine to avoid smudging.

Menu/Set, 1, 2

Handling and using special paper

■

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

■

The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing up toward you.

■

Avoid touching either side of transparencies, because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Basic receiving operations

Choosing the Receive Mode

There are four different Receive Modes for your machine. You can choose the mode that best suits your needs.

Fax Only

(automatic receive)

Fax/Tel* (fax and telephone)

(with an external or extension telephone)

External TAD

(with an external answering machine)

Manual

(manual receive)

(with an external or extension telephone)

The machine automatically answers every call as a fax.

The machine controls the line and automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax it will receive the fax. If the call is not a fax it will ring (pseudo/double ring) for you to pick up the call.

The external answering machine (TAD) automatically answers every call. Voice messages are stored on the external TAD. Fax messages are printed.

You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself.

For dedicated fax lines.

Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax messages and few telephone calls. You cannot have an answering ma chine on the same line, even if it is on a separate wall socket/phone socket on the same line. You cannot use the telephone company’s Voice Mail in this mode.

Use this mode if you have connected an answering machine on your phone line. The TAD setting works only with an external answering machine. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.

Use this mode when you are using a computer modem on the same line or if you don’t receive many fax messages or with Distinctive Ring. If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call, then hang up. (See Fax Detect on page 5-5.)

This pseudo/double-ring happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the machine rings and no other phones on the same line will ring with the special pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still answer the call on any extension phone (in a separate wall socket/phone socket) on the same line as the machine. (See

Polling

Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use your machine to 'poll' other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine.

Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to set up their fax machines for Polling. When someone polls your machine to receive a fax, they pay for the call. If you poll someone's fax machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call.

Some fax machines do not respond to the Polling feature.

Secure Polling

Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and others from falling into the wrong hands while the machine is set up for polling. You can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax machine. Anyone who polls to receive a fax must enter the polling secure code.

BT Callsign (For U.K. Only)

This machine feature lets you use the BT Callsign subscriber service which allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

Your machine has a BT Callsign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate a second phone number (on the same phone line) just for receiving faxes.

You can switch BT callsign off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.

When you set the BT Callsign feature to ON, the receive mode is set to mode to the other mode while the BT Callsign is set to on.

If you broadcast to the maximum numbers available, you will not be able to use Dual Access and Delayed fax.

To include Speed-Dial numbers and manually dialled numbers in the same broadcast, you must press numbers. Use easily.

let you know the results.
