BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER/FACSIMILE MACHINE  
LIMITED WARRANTY  
(For Canada Only)  
Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts,  
Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service  
Centers, will repair this MFC/Facsimile machine free of charge if defective in material or  
workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables  
(including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner and drum) or damage  
caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage  
caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a  
Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable  
items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the MFC/Facsimile machine in excess  
of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed  
abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In  
order to obtain warranty service, the MFC/Facsimile machine must be delivered or  
shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service  
Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.  
For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit on  
applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the MFC/Facsimile and  
will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)  
For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your  
print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty.  
(Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)  
BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED  
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO  
THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY  
WAIVED.  
No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its  
Authorized Service Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create  
another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states Brother’s entire liability  
and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Facsimile machine  
to operate properly.  
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of  
this MFC/Facsimile machine shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special,  
consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from the  
use of or inability to use the product, even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the  
possibility of such damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of  
liability, such limitation may not apply to you.  
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights  
which vary from Providence to Providence.

About Fax Machines  
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little  
mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone line,  
and be able to send and receive faxes easily.  
Custom Features  
Do You Have Voice Mail on the Phone Line?  
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line on which you will install your new fax  
machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine will  
conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.  
Why Should There Be Trouble?  
Since both fax machines and Voice Mail pick up the line at the number of rings  
you have set, each of them has the ability to keep the other from receiving calls.  
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to answer after two rings and your fax  
machine is set to answer after four, your Voice Mail will keep your fax machine  
from receiving faxes. If you set Voice Mail and the Brother machine to answer  
can pass the call back to the other after the call has been answered.  
How Can You Avoid Possible Problems?  
a second phone number on your present phone line. Many people with Voice  
Mail opt for this choice, which is called “Distinctive Ring”, and they are very  
satisfied with it. For details about this type of custom service, please see  
Distinctive Ring, page 8-1.  
Another way to avoid a possible problem is to replace your Voice Mail with an  
answering machine. Your Brother fax machine is designed to work in tandem  
with an answering machine or TAD (telephone answering device).  
(See Connecting an External TAD (Telephone Answering Device), Page 2-10.)

Fax Tones and Handshake  
When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones (CNG  
tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when  
you dial and press Fax Start; they continue for about 60 seconds after dialing.  
During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” 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  
soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if  
you are receiving a fax message.  
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones-loud, chirping sounds. A  
receiving fax chirps for about 60 seconds over the phone line, and the LCD  
shows RECEIVING. If your machine is set to the FAX mode, it will answer  
every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs  
up, your machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 60 seconds, and the  
screen continues to display RECEIVING. To cancel the receiving mode, press  
Stop/Exit.  
When your machine answers in FAX/TEL mode, the machine listens for CNG  
tones and then responds with receiving tones.  
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 the 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 dialed. Therefore, it’s  
important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as  
possible.  
When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax  
line, your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered.  
Pay special attention to the directions in the Assembly and Connections chapter  
for connecting a TAD to your machine.  
ECM (Error Correction Mode)  
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check the  
integrity of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are  
possible only between machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you  
may send and receive fax messages that are continuously checked for their  
integrity. Sufficient memory must be available in your machine for this feature  
to work.

Choosing a Location  
Place your machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that  
is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone jack and a  
standard, grounded power outlet.  
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters,  
air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine  
to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Make sure nothing blocks  
the flow of air from the fan on the sides of the machine. Do not connect your  
machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.  
Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not  
connect your machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large  
appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid  
interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.  
NO ! NO ! NO !  
WARNING  
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.  
We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the  
product against lightning storms.  
Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed  
for a wet location.  
Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone  
line has been disconnected at the network interface.  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There  
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.  
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.  
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the  
equipment and should be easily accessible.  
To reduce the risk of shock or fire, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger

WARNING  
This machine must be grounded using a three-prong plug.  
Since the machine is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from  
potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone line by keeping the power  
to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. When you want to move  
your machine, protect yourself by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the  
power cord.  
Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a  
quality surge protection device on the AC power line and on the telephone line, or  
unplug the lines during a lightning storm.  
Do not touch the rollers at the paper exit.

Connecting an External Telephone  
Your machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone.  
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering  
device) directly to your machine.  
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT.  
on the left side of the machine.  
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows EXT. TEL IN USE,  
and, if the machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect a call on  
the external phone and switch to the machine, press Hook.  
Connecting an External TAD  
(Telephone Answering Device)  
Sequence  
You might choose to connect an answering system. When you have anexternal  
TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. 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 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax  
“handshake.” Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this manual for  
recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver  
feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds 4 rings.  
Connections  
The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the machine in the jack  
labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a  
wall jack.  
If You Subscribe to your Telephone Company’s Distinctive Ring Service:  
You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe  
to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, have registered the  
distinctive ring pattern on your machine, use that number as a fax number and  
have set your machine’s Receive mode to MANUAL. The recommended  
setting is three or four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone  
company’s Distinctive Ring service.  
If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service:  
You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your Brother machine. If your  
TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to  
control the phone line. (See illustration on Page 2-11.)

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line.

2
Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the machine  
in the jack labeled LINE.  
Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the machine in  
the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the  
TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)  
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting  
does not apply).  
4
5
Record the outgoing message. (See below.)  
Set the Receive mode to TAD by pressing Mode until both FAX and FAX/TEL  
lights are on.  
Recording Outgoing Message (OGM) on External TAD  
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to  
handle both manual and automatic fax reception.  
1
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.)  
2
3
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. (See Easy Receive, Page 5-3.)  
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 5 1 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  
rerecord the OGM to include it.

Special Line Considerations  
Roll Over Phone Lines  
A roll over phone 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 phone 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 put 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 Phone System  
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on  
the same wall outlet. The two phone 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 phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the  
line for your machine.  
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets  
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. 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 phone 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.

Installing Machine, External Two-Line 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 put the  
machine on Line 2, which is our assumption 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.

Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine.  
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the L2 jack of  
the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the left side of the  
machine.

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.  
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.

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.

Multi-Line Connections (PBX)  
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 machine in FAX mode to receive  
faxes any time of 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.  
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If  
your line has more than two wires, proper connection of the machine cannot be  
made.  
If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX:  
1
2
3
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly 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 MANUAL. All incoming calls  
should initially be regarded as telephone calls.  
The machine may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.  
Custom Features on Your Phone Line  
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an  
answering service, or an alarm system, or other custom feature on one phone  
line, it may create a problem with the operation of your fax machine. (SeeI have  
difficulty with custom features on a single line, Page 19-8.)

message via a telephone machine unless such messages clearly  
contain, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page,  
or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent  
and an identification of the business or other entity or other  
individual sending the message and the telephone number of the  
sending machines or such business, other entity, or individual.  
In order to program this information into your machine, you should

Choosing the Handset Volume (For Volume Amplify)  
Before you begin to use the machine, you must decide if you need to set the  
handset volume to AMPLIFY:ON for a user who is hearing-impaired. The  
AMPLIFY:ON volume level complies with FCC standards.

panel to adjust the volume to LOW or HIGH. When the handset is replaced, the  
handset volume will remain until you change it again.  
VOLUME AMPLIFY: ON—TEMPORARY  
This setting is appropriate if some of the users are hearing-impaired. During a  
conversation, users can press Volume High or Low on the control panel to  
adjust the volume to LOW, HIGH or AMPLIFY. When the handset is  
replaced, the handset volume returns to the default setting of LOW.

AMPLIFY.  
When you press Volume High or Low on the control panel to adjust the  
volume, the display shows the setting you are choosing. Each key press changes  
the volume to the next setting.  
WARNING  
It is important that you do not choose PERMANENT unless all the users  
are hearing-impaired. Otherwise, the default setting of AMPLIFY may  
damage the hearing of some users.

The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the machine rings  
before it answers. If you have extension phones on the same line as the machine,  
keep the Ring Delay default setting of 4. (See Easy Receive, Page 5-3 and

Setting F/T Ring Time (For FAX/TEL Mode Only)  
If you set the receive mode to FAX/TEL, you’ll need to determine how long the  
machine will send you its special double-ring when you have a voice call. This  
ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the  
machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line  
ring the special double-ring. However, you can answer the call on any extension  
phone (in a separate wall jack) on the same line as the machine. (See Operation

You can let the machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax  
call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with  
a double-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.  
Even if the caller hangs up during the double-ringing, the machine continues  
for the set time.

Advanced Receiving Operations  
Operation from Extension Telephone or External Telephone  
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone (or on an external phone in the  
EXT. jack), you can make your machine take over by using the Fax Receive  
Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the machine starts to  
receive a fax. (See Setting Ring Delay, Page 5-2 and Easy Receive, Page 5-3.)  
If the machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use  
the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.  
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At  
the machine’s phone, press Fax Start, then hang up. At an extension phone,  
press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external  
phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the LCD shows  
RECEIVING) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Fax Start  
to send the fax.)  
For FAX/TEL Mode Only  
When the machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double-  
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call. If you’re at the machine, you can lift  
the handset to answer.  
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T  
Ring Time and then press # 5 1 between the 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 5 1.  
Changing Remote Codes  
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax  
Receive Code is 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1.  
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely,

Before You Begin  
Before you begin sending faxes, please be sure to read all the instructions and  
cautions listed below for placing originals in the automatic document feeder.  
Using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)  
Documents must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide between 3.9 and 14.1  
inches long. Your machine can scan an image only 8.15 inches wide, regardless  
of how wide the paper is.  
Fan the pages before  
placing them in the ADF.  
Make sure you insert  
documents face down, top  
edge first.  
Adjust the paper guides to  
fit the width of your  
document.  
The ADF (automatic  
document feeder) can hold up to 30 Pages, feeding each one individually  
through the machine. If you “Stagger” the pages, the ADF can hold up to 50  
pages. Use standard (17 lb–24 lb) paper when using the ADF. If you’re using  
heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper jams.  
DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded or ripped paper, or paper with staples,  
paper clips, paste or tape attached. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric.  
Make sure documents written in ink are completely dry.  
Before you send a fax press Resolution to select the resolution for the  
document you’re sending. (See Fax Resolution, Page 6-5.)  
If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and your Brother  
machine intercepts them, set Easy Receive to OFF.

Real Time Transmission  
When you are sending a fax, the machine will scan originals into memory before  
sending. Then, as soon as the phone line is free, the machine will start dialing and  
sending the fax. If memory becomes full, the machine will send the document in real  
time (even if REAL TIME TX is set to OFF).  
Sometimes you may want to send an important document immediately, without

Broadcasting  
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax  
numbers. Using the Broadcast key, you can include Groups, One Touch  
locations, Speed Dial locations, plus up to 50 manually dialed numbers.  
However, available memory will vary with the types of jobs in memory and the  
number of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the  
maximum locations available, you will not be able to set up transmissions using  
dual access and the timer. (See Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting, Page 7-3.)  
The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys, you can include One Touch,  
Speed Dial, and manually, dialed numbers in the same broadcast. You must  
press Broadcast between each of these locations. Use the Telephone Index to  
help you choose the numbers easily.  
After the broadcast is completed, a Broadcast Report will be printed  
automatically to let you know the results.  
To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop/Exit. The LCD asks if you  
want to cancel all locations or the location that is being sent.  
Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you normally would, but keep in  
mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can  
call become limited.  
If the line is busy or for some other reasons a connection could not be made  
while broadcasting, the machine will redial the number automatically.  
If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to abort the job ; (if more than one page  
has been scanned) or press Fax Start to send the portion that is in the memory.

Sometimes you may want to choose from among several long distance carriers  
when you make a call. Rates may vary depending upon the time and destination.  
To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance  
carriers as One Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing  
sequences by dividing them and setting them up separately in any combination.  
You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad. The combined number  
will be dialed in the order you entered it, as soon as you press Fax Start. (See  
Storing One Touch Dial Numbers, Page 7-1.)  
For example, you store “555” on One Touch key 03 and “7000” on One Touch  
key 04. If you press One Touch 03, 04 and Fax Start you can dial “555-7000”.  
To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number with  
manual dialing using the dial pad. For example, to change the number to 555-  
7001 you could press One Touch 03 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad.  
If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store a pause at that  
Note  
point in the number by pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a 3. 5 second delay.

If you’re sending a fax manually and the line is busy, press Redial/Pause to  
try again. Anytime you want to make a second call to the last number dialed,  
press Redial/Pause to save time.  
Tone/Pulse (For Canada Only)  
If you have pulse dialing service, but need to send tone signals  
(for example, telephone banking), follow the directions below. If you have  
touch tone service, you do not need this feature to send tone signals.

Custom Features  
Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone  
services offered by some telephone companies.  
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an  
answering service, or on alarm system custom feature on your telephone line, it may  
create a problem in the operation of your machine. (See I have difficulty with  
custom features on a single line, Page 19-8.)  
If you have Voice Mail on you phone line, please read the following carefully.  
Distinctive Ring  
The term “Distinctive Ring” is used by Brother to identify a phone company  
service that is given many names, depending on the Telephone Company you are  
using. For example, this service may be called SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-  
Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.  
What Does Your Telephone Companys Distinctive RingDo?  
Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows more than one  
number to be on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone  
number, it is an inexpensive alternative to paying for an additional 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 fax machine.  
Please consult your telephone company for availability and rates.  
Note  
What Does Brothers Distinctive RingDo?  
The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your  
machine to take full advantage of the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring  
service. You can dedicate the new phone number on your line to receiving only  
faxes.  
You must purchase your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service before  
Note  
you program the Brother machine to work with it.

Do You Have Voice Mail?  
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you on which will install your new  
machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine  
will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, this  
Distinctive Ring feature allows the use of more than one number on your  
line, so both Voice Mail and the fax machine can coexist peacefully. If each  
one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s work.  
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring Service from the telephone company,  
you will need to follow the directions below to “register” the new Distinctive  
Ring pattern they provided, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming  
calls.  
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can  
switch it off temporarily and later turn it back on. When you get a new fax  
number, make sure you reset this setting.  
Note  
Before You Choose the Ring Pattern to Register  
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring  
patterns cannot be registered. Please refer to some popular ring pattern examples  
that will be provided from the phone company in the USA and Canada that are  
shown in the Brother compatibility table below.  
Ring  
Pattern  
Rings  
1
long - long  
2
3
4
short - long - short  
short - short - long  
very long (normal pattern)  
If the ring pattern the phone company provided cannot be registered by the fax,  
please check for other available ring pattern choices from the phone  
company.  
Note  
The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.  
The first two rings are silent on the fax machine. This is because the fax must  
«listen» to the ring pattern (compare it to the pattern that was “registered”).  
(Other telephones on the line will ring.)  
If you program the fax machine correctly, it will recognize the registered ring  
pattern of the “fax number” within 2 ring patterns and then automatically answer  
with a fax tone. When the “voice number” is called, the fax machine will not  
interrupt the call.

Very Important  
If you have Voice Mail, or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to  
keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the  
machine in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring  
Feature. Heres why: Manual mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is  
«Neutral». When the machine is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring  
Feature can be activated. The distinctive ring feature is actually an answering  
mode. So, do not activate FAX mode or FAX/TEL mode while using distinctive  
ring; otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the numbers.

Caller ID  
The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber  
service offered by many local phone companies. This service provides the  
name or telephone number of your caller on the LCD as the line rings.  
After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (or name,  
if available). Once you pick up the handset, 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.  
CALL PICKUP display remains on the screen when no Caller ID information  
was transmitted.  
If both the name and number are received, the LCD shows only the name. 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.

How to Use the Brother machine with Your DOS  
Application Software  
Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check that the  
Brother machines name appears in the printer selection of your application  
software. If the machine is not listed, you must install the printer driver that  
corresponds to HP LaserJets emulations.  
The following table shows combinations of printer drivers and emulation mode.  
To get the most out of this machine, you should install an HP printer driver in  
your application software.  
Printer driver supported in  
your application software  
Emulation mode to be selected with the remote  
printer console program

The best or recommended printer driver is indicated in bold.  
Be sure to choose the proper printer driver in your application software.  
Be sure the printing resolution is set to 600 dpi in your DOS application  
software.  
What Does the Remote Printer Console Do?  
The Remote Printer Console (RPC) is a utility program that can run in the DOS  
environment and comprises the following program:  
Remote Printer Console Main Program  
This program allows you to change various printer settings such as emulation,  
print quality, fonts and page setup from your computer screen. Since most DOS  
applications have a Printer Settings menu that overrides the settings made by the  
RPC, you may not have to use this utility program. This utility program is useful  
for application software that does not control the printers settings and features.

Settings in the Scanner Window  
Image  
Resolution  
Resolution: Select the scanning resolution from the Resolution drop down list.  
Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer  
scanned image.  
When the setting is True Gray, 200 × 100 dpi and 200 × 400 dpi is not available.  
Gray Scale  
Gray Scale: Set the image Type to Black & White for text or line art. For  
photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray.  
Gray (Error Diffusion) is used for documents that contain photographic images  
or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images by  
placing black dots in a specific matrix instead of true gray dots.)  
256 True Gray mode is used for documents containing photographic images or  
graphics. This mode requires the most memory and longest transfer time.  
Brightness  
Brightness: Adjusting the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The  
Brother Multi-Function Link® Pro offers 100 brightness settings (-50 to 50).  
The default value is 0, representing an averagesetting.  
You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten  
the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the  
box to set the settings.  
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the  
document again.  
If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the document  
again.  
Contrast  
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray  
scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the gray  
Scale.  
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes  
dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by  
dragging the slidebar to the left) ravels more detail in gray areas. Instead of  
using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.

For FAX-5750e: Scanning and Using  
ScanSoftPaperPort® and TextBridge® OCR  
ScanSoft Paper Port and TextBridge is not available for FAX-4750e.  
ScanSoftPaper Port® for Brother is a document management application. You  
will use PaperPort® to view incoming faxes and scanned documents. PaperPort®  
has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing system that will help you organize  
your documents. It allows you to combine or stackdocuments of different  
formats for printing, faxing or filing. PaperPort® can be accessed through the  
PaperPort® program group. See On-Line Documentation for Multi-Function  
Link® Pro on the CD-ROM.  
The complete ScanSoftPaperPort® Owners Manual, including ScanSoft™  
TextBridge® OCR, is in the On-Line Documentation on the CD-ROM. This  
chapter is only an introduction to the basic operations.  
When you install Multi-Function Link® Pro, ScanSoftPaperPort® for Brother  
and ScanSoftTextBridge® OCR are installed with it automatically.

Viewing Items in PaperPort®  
PaperPort® provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a  
thumbnail, a small graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder.  
Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort® Desktop. You can see  
PaperPort® items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort® items (files created using  
other applications).  
Non-PaperPort® items include an icon that indicates the application that was  
used to create the item; a non-PaperPort® item is represented by a small  
rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.  
Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can open a PaperPort®  
item by double-clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate application  
on your computer to display it, you can also double-click a non-PaperPort® item  
to open it.  
Destop View displays items  
as thumbnails  
Page View displays each item  
as a full page  
Organizing Your Items in Folders  
PaperPort® has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The  
filing system consists of folders and items that you select to view in Desktop  
View. An item can be a PaperPort® item or a non-PaperPort® item:  
Folders are arranged in a treestructure in the Folder View. You use this pane  
to select folders and view their items in Desktop View.  
You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is  
highlighted, release the mouse button and the item is stored in that folder.  
Folders can be nested”—that is, stored in other folders.  
When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort® MAX files and other  
files) appear on the Desktop.  
You can also use Windows® Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in  
Desktop View.

Quick Links to Other Applications  
PaperPort® automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer  
and creates a working linkto them. The Link Bar at the bottom of Desktop  
view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an item onto  
one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use of  
the Link Bar is to select an item and then fax it.  
This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort®.  
If PaperPort® does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your  
computer, you can manually create a link using the Create New Link  
command. (See PaperPort® Help for more information about creating new  
links.)  
ScanSoftTextBridge® OCR Lets You Convert Image  
Text to Text You Can Edit  
Software by:  
ScanSoftTextBridge® OCR is automatically installed with PaperPort® when  
you install Multi-Function Link® Pro on your computer.  
PaperPort® can quickly convert the text on a PaperPort® item (which is really  
just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing  
application. PaperPort® uses the optical character recognition application  
ScanSoftTextBridge, which comes with PaperPort®—OR—PaperPort® uses  
your application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire  
item, or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select only a portion of  
the text to convert.  
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort®s built-in  
OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.

Business Card Size  
To scan business cards, select the Business Card size setting (90 × 60 mm) and  
place the business card at the top center of a carrier sheet.  
Carrier sheets are available from your Dealer.  
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other  
graphics application, it is a good idea to try different settings for the contrast,  
mode and resolution to determine which settings look best.  
Miscellaneous  
Brightness  
Adjust the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother TWAIN  
Scanner driver offers 100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0,  
representing an averagesetting.  
You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten  
the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box  
to set the setting. Click OK.  
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the  
document again.  
If the image is too dark, set a  
higher brightness value and  
scan the document again.  
Contrast  
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray  
scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the Gray  
Scale.  
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes  
dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by  
dragging the slidebar to the left) reveals more detail in gray areas. Instead of  
using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast. Click OK.

If you are sending or receiving a fax message while  
a custom feature signal comes through on the line,  
the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the  
fax data. Brothers ECM feature should help  
overcome this problem. This condition is related to  
the telephone system industry and is common to all  
devices that send and receive information on a  
single, shared line with custom features. If  
avoiding a slight interruption is crucial to your  
business, a separate line with no custom features is  
recommended.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge  
The machine can print up to 6,000 pages using a high yield toner cartridge.  
When the toner cartridge is running low, the display showsTONER LOW. The  
machine is supplied with a standard toner cartridge that must be replaced after  
approximately 3,000 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your  
average document type (i.e., standard letter, detailed graphics).  
It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the  
toner low warning.  
Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations, keeping it  
separate from domestic waste. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner  
powder does not spill out of the cartridge. If you have questions, call your local  
waste disposal office.  
We recommend that you clean the machine when you replace the toner  
cartridge.  
Toner Empty Indicator  
When the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD shows TONER LOW and  
the Toner Empty icon on the control panel flashes on and off to indicate the  
toner is low.  
Toner Empty Icon

The Toner Empty icon appears and the LCD shows TONER EMPTY. Once

Replacing the Drum Unit  
CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time  
to purchase a new one.  
Even if the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue  
printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while. However, if there  
is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality (even before  
CHANGE DRUM SOON is shown), then the drum unit should be replaced.  
You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit.  
(See Page 19-19.)  
Caution  
When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner. If  
toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or wash  
with cold water.  
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it  
periodically. There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such  
as temperature, humidity, type of paper and how much toner you use for the  
number of pages per print job. The estimated drum life is up to 20,000 pages.  
The actual number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than  
these estimates. Because we have no control over the many factors that  
determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of  
pages that will be printed by your drum.  
WARNING  
Just after you have used the  
machine, some internal parts  
of the machine are extremely
