Acceptable paper and other media 2

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

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

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

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use Brother paper.

 When you print on inkjet paper (coated

paper), transparencies and photo paper, be sure to choose the correct media in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu (See Paper Type on page 17).

 When you print on Brother photo paper,

load the instruction sheet included with the photo paper in the paper tray first, and then put the photo paper on the instruction sheet.

 When you use transparencies or photo

paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

 Avoid touching the printed surface of the

paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Loading documents and paper

Recommended media 2

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.)

If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.

We recommend using ‘3M Transparency Film’ when you print on transparencies.

Brother paper

Paper Type Item

A4 Plain BP60PA A4 Glossy Photo BP61GLA A4 Inkjet (Matte) BP60MA 10 x 15 cm Glossy BP61GLP

Handling and using media 2

 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 photo paper is shiny.

Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

 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.

Improper Setup

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm (0.08 in.) or longer

• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

• Paper already printed on by a printer

• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

• Paper made with a short grain

Paper capacity of the output paper tray 2

Up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm A4 or 20 lb Letter paper.

 Transparencies or photo paper must be

picked up from the output paper tray one page at a time to avoid smudging.

f Put the paper tray cover back. g Slowly push the paper tray completely

into the machine.

Loading envelopes and post cards 2

Loading envelopes 2

 Use envelopes that weigh from 75 to

95 gsm (20 to 25 lb).

be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first.

Do not use any of the following types of envelope, as they will cause paper feed problems:

CAUTION

• If they are of a baggy construction.

• That are embossed (have raised writing on them).

• That have clasps or staples.

• That are pre-printed on the inside.

Glue 2 Double flap 2

h While holding the paper tray in place, pull

out the paper support (1) until it clicks and unfold the paper support flap (2).

Chapter 2

How to load envelopes and post cards 2

a Before loading, press the corners and

sides of the envelopes or post cards to make them as flat as possible.

Note

If the envelopes or post cards are ‘doublefeeding,’ put one envelope in the paper tray at a time.

If you have problems when printing on envelopes, try the following suggestions:

a Open the envelope flap. b Make sure the open flap is either to the

side of the envelope or to the back edge of the envelope when printing.

c Adjust the size and margin in your

application.

b Put the envelopes or post cards into the

paper tray with the address side down and the leading edge (top of the envelopes) in first. Slide the paper side guides (1) and paper length guide (2) to fit the size of the envelopes or post cards.

Note

When the machine ejects small paper onto the output paper tray you may not be able to reach it. Make sure printing has finished, and then pull the tray completely out of the machine.

Voice Operations 7

Tone or pulse (not available in New Zealand)7

If you are using an external phone and have a pulse dialling service, but need to send tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals.

a Lift the handset of the external phone. b Press # on the control panel of your

machine. Any digits dialled after this will send tone signals. When you hang up, the machine will return to the pulse dialling service.

Fax/Tel mode 7

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/doubleringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

If you are at an external telephone, lift the handset of the external telephone, and then press Hook to answer.

If you are at an extension phone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 (# 9 1 for New Zealand) 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 l 51 (l 9 1 for New Zealand).

Phone line services 7

Your machine supports the Caller ID subscriber telephone service that some telephone companies offer.

Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one phone line may create problems with the operation of your machine.

Do you have Voice Mail? 7

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that you will install your new machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, the Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the machine can work together without any problems. If each one has a separete phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions on next page to ‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine can recognize its incoming calls.

Fax/Tel mode in Power Save mode 7

Fax/Tel mode does not work in power save mode. The machine will not answer telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing. If you are at an external or extension phone, lift the handset and talk. If you hear fax tones, hold the handset until Fax Detect activates your machine. If the other party says they want to send you a fax, activate the machine by pressing l 51 (l 9 1 for New Zealand).

Duet®,

What is the Advantage of using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Function?7

Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. When the voice call comes in, all phones (extension and external) and the fax machine will ring to alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in, the fax machine will answer automatically without ringing, whereas the extension and external phones will ring twice with a distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more efficient way of operating a Fax machine with an extension phone as you do not have to use the remote activation codes. It gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.

Note

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. If you don’t have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode means you must answer all the voice calls yourself. You can not change the receive mode from Manual mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Chapter 7

How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Work? 7

Incoming calls to the voice number, will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, followed by a pause, repeated, while the new fax number will have a different ring pattern of three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular intervals.

When FaxStream receive a voice call all extension and external phones will ring with a standard ring pattern. The fax machine will ring on the third ring with a standard ring pattern. All external and the extension phones will continue to ring, until you or a telephone answering device can answer the voice number.

When FaxStream receive a fax call on the Duet

Fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message without ringing. On the other hand, all extension and external phones will ring twice with a distinctive ring pattern. Do not answer the phone as you are receiving a fax message.

How Does the Caller ID Work?7

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings 7

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number or name if the name has stored in the One-Touch and Speed-Dial. Once you press Hook and answer the call by lifting the external telephone’s handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.

Note

•If Out of Area appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area or a public

phone.

•If Private Call appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked

the transmission of his/her ID.

Depends on network function.

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine Memory 7

The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.

The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.

 Printing the Caller ID List.

You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller ID) name, and type of Call (Comment) if available.

Telephone Service for New Zealand 7

FaxAbility 7

FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring.

How Will the Fax Machine Treat All Other Numbers? 7

FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) number. When a call comes in to your main number, all the phones will ring. You can set an external answering device (TAD) to answer calls on the other number(s). (See the chart in the following page.)

What is the Advantage of Using the FaxAbility Function?

Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The fax machine will answer with receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code. And the people who call to talk on your main number will not have to talk to your fax machine. Basically, it gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.

c Press Mono Start or Colour Start. d When the printing has finished, press

Stop/Exit.

Telephone and External devices

How Does FaxAbility Work? 7

Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while the new number will have a ring pattern of long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is On, you will not hear the first ring of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the extension phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine always listens to the ring pattern before it answers, so do not pick up the phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either you or a telephone answering device can answer the main number(s).

Incoming Call

(either Voice or Fax)

How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON 7

The FaxAbility function is designed to accommodate the FaxAbility service provided by Telecom. To change the setting, repeat steps a-c; Step b is where you can choose either On or Off.

Call Waiting beeps caused by incoming calls on your main number can affect fax transmissions. If you have FaxAbility Service but don’t have Call Waiting, you need do nothing at this stage. If you do have Call Waiting as well as FaxAbility, set the Call Waiting menu option to On. See below.

Caller ID 7

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number and name if available as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine memory.

Note

To get the Caller ID Service, apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

• Please understand that your machine may not display precisely the digits to be called.

Telephone Service for Some Countries 7

Distinctive Ring (For Singapore and Hong Kong) 7

This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You will need to set Distinctive Ring to On.

Note

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

• The machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ring number.

Note

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode means you must answer all the call yourself. You can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Caller ID (For Singapore and Hong Kong) 7

The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local phone companies. This service provides you, by means of the screen display, the telephone number (or name) of your caller as the line rings. (See Printing Caller ID List on page 43.)

After a few rings, the screen displays the telephone number of your caller (or name, if available). Once you press Hook and answer the call, the Caller ID information disappears from the screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.

 You will see the first 16 characters of the

number or name.

 Out of Area display means call

originates outside your Caller ID service area.

 Private Call display means the caller

has intentionally blocked transmission of information.

Note

You can print a list of Caller ID information received by your machine.

Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local phone company to determine the kind of service available in your area.

Note

If you turn off Distinctive Ring, the machine will stay in Manual receive mode. You will need to set the Receive Mode again. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 30.)

Connecting an external TAD 7

You can connect an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as your machine. When the TAD answers a call, your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears them it will take over the call and receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will let your TAD take a voice message and the display will show Telephone.

The external TAD must answer within two rings. This is because your machine cannot hear the CNG tones until the external TAD has picked up the call. The sending machine will send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds longer. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external TAD if it needs more than four rings to activate it.

Note

If you have problems receiving faxes, reduce the ring delay setting on your external TAD to one or two rings.

Connections 7

The external TAD must be connected as shown in the illustration below.

1TAD

When the TAD answers a call, the LCD shows Telephone.

Chapter 7

a Set your external TAD to one or two

rings. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

b Record the outgoing message on your

external TAD.

c Set the TAD to answer calls. d Set the Receive Mode to

External TAD. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 30.)

Recording an outgoing message 7

a Record 5 seconds of silence at the

beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax tones.

b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. c 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 l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand) and Start.”

Multi-Line connections (PABX) 7

Most offices use a central telephone system. Brother recommends that all our machines be

connected to a discreet (dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX may appear to work with a particular model of fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate correctly.

While it is often relatively simple to connect a fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the fax machine for you.

Brother does not recommend the use of a PABX line. PABX limitations in general can cause some functions of the fax machine not to work correctly.

Note

• You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). see Using remote codes on page 45.

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

Telephone and External devices

External and extension phones 7

Operation from extension telephones 7

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external telephone that is correctly connected to the machine into the correct socket on the machine, you can make your machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand), the machine starts to receive the fax. (See Fax Detect on page 32.)

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

You should assume that you’re receiving a manual fax.

a Press l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand)

and wait for the chirp or until the machine’s LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.

Note

You can also use the Fax Detect feature to make your machine tactically take the call. (See Fax Detect on page 32.)

Connecting an external or extension phone 7

You can connect a separate telephone directly to your machine as shown in the diagram below.

1 Extension telephone

When you are using an external telephone, the LCD shows Telephone.

Using remote codes 7

Fax Receive Code 7

If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialling the fax receive code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. See Fax Detect on page 32. Your caller will have to press Mono Start or Colour Start to send the fax.

Telephone Answer Code 7

If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T (double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension phone you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1 (#91 for New Zealand) (make sure you press this between the rings).

Chapter 7

Changing the remote codes 7

The preset fax receive code is l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). The preset telephone answer code is # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand). If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD, try changing the three digit remote codes, for example ### and 555.

 On

A memory card is inserted correctly.

 Off

No memory card is present, or it is incorrectly inserted.

 Blinking

The inserted memory card is being read, or is being written to.

CAUTION

DO NOT unplug the power cord or remove the memory card from the media drive (slot) while the machine is reading or writing to the card (the PhotoCapture key is blinking). You will lose your data or

damage the card.

The machine can only read one memory card at a time so do not put more than one card in a slot.

Memory card folder structure 11

Your machine is designed to be compatible with modern digital camera image files and memory cards; however, please read the points below to avoid errors:

 The DPOF file on the memory card must

be in a valid format. (See DPOF printing on page 66.)

 The image file extension must be. JPG

(Other image file extensions like. JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).

 Walk-up PhotoCapture Center™ printing

must be performed separately from PhotoCapture Center™ operations using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not available.)

Please be aware of the following:

 When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the

PhotoCapture Center™ will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed.

 Your machine is designed to read memory

cards that have been formatted by a digital camera.

When a digital camera formats a memory card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a memory card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the memory card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder, the machine may not be able to read the file or print the image.

telephones are not compatible. Since noise or speech from the telephone can upset dialling

from this unit, errors may result if the devices are used together in other than quiet conditions. 24 Where it is necessary to dial prefix digits, such as a Caller Display override code (“0196” or

“0197”), this unit will have to be used in conjunction with an associated tone signalling (DTMF)

telephone. 25 Note that some telephones are not compatible with this unit and dialling errors may result if the

two devices are used together in other than quiet conditions. The Telecom Faults Service is

not to be called should such problems arise. In such cases, it is recommended that the prefix

and wanted number are dialled manually. 26 This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device

connected to the same line.
