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.  
Fax Tones and Handshake  
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones,  
(CNG tones) — soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear  
Start  
them when you dial and press  
, and they continue for about 40 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 40 seconds over the phone line, and the  
screen displays RECEIVING. If your fax 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 fax machine continues to send the “chirps” for  
about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING. To  
Stop  
cancel the receiving mode, press  
.

When your fax machine answers in FAX/TEL mode, it 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 machines “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 40 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 Installation chapter for  
connecting a TAD to your fax machine.  
ECM (Error Correction Mode)  
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax 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 fax machine for this feature to  
work.

Choosing a Location  
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a  
place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the fax machine near a  
telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Make sure nothing  
blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side of the machine.  
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near  
heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose  
the fax machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Make  
sure nothing blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side 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.

Connecting an External  
Telephone Answering Device (TAD)  
Sequence  
You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have  
an external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD  
answers all calls. The fax machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it  
hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it  
doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax 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 fax 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.  
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your fax machine  
and TAD will both try to control the line.

Connecting an External Telephone  
Your fax 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 fax machine.  
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled  
EXT. on the left side of the fax machine.  
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE,  
and, if the fax machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call

Special Line Considerations  
Roll Over Phone Lines  
.
See  
Easy Receive  
p. 35  
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 fax 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 fax  
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 fax 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 fax 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 fax 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). Plug the fax  
machine into Line 2 of the triplex adapter.

Installing Fax 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 fax machine must be isolated on one  
line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is  
to put the fax machine on Line 2. 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 fax  
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 fax 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 fax machine.

jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are  
two ways to add a two-line telephone to the fax 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 fax 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 fax machine for you. It is  
advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the  
fax machine in FAX mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.  
See  
Easy Receive  
p. 35  
If the fax 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 fax machine  
cannot be made.

If you are installing the fax machine to work with a PBX:  
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 Answer mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming  
calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.  
The fax machine may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone  
service.

Polling  
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can  
use your fax machine to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone  
poll your machine.  
All parties involved in polling need to set up their fax machines to  
accommodate 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 function.

Polling Receive is when you call another fax machine to receive a fax from it.

Distinctive Ringing  
This fax machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing 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 Ringing pattern, so you’ll know which phone number is ringing.  
This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your fax machine.  
Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate  
one phone number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions  
below to “register” the new Distinctive Ringing pattern, that was assigned by  
the Telephone Company, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming calls.  
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ringing pattern at any time. You  
can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax  
number, be sure to reset this function.  
If you are not sure which ring pattern you have call your telephone  
company. Then assign your ring pattern in the steps below.  
You can register only one Distinctive Ringing pattern with the fax machine.  
Some ringing patterns cannot be registered.  
The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.  
To have your TAD answer only the main number, the fax machine must  
be in Manual mode.  
In FAX/TEL or FAX mode, the fax machine will answer all numbers on  
the phone line.

Caller ID  
The Caller ID feature of this fax 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 name or telephone number  
of your caller as the line rings.  
After a few rings, the screen displays 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.  
See  
Printing Caller  
ID List  
You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.  
OUT OF AREA means call originates outside your Caller ID service  
area.  
p. 46  
PRIVATE CALL means the caller has intentionally blocked  
transmission of information.  
CALL PICKUP remains on the screen when no Caller ID information  
was transmitted.  
If both the name and number are received, the screen displays only the name.  
You can print a list of Caller ID information received by your fax machine.  
Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local phone  
company to determine the kind of service available in your area.  
Viewing Caller ID List  
Caller ID memory stores information for up to thirty calls; when the thirty-first

locations, up to 100 Speed Dial locations, and up to 50 manually dialed  
numbers (maximum of 174 locations if you did not use up any locations for  
Groups, access codes or credit card 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.  
The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys, you can include  
One Touch, Speed Dial, and manually dialed numbers in the same  
Help/Broadcast  
broadcast. You must press  
between each of these locations.  
Use the Telephone Index to help you choose the numbers easily.

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

If You Are Having Difficulty with Your Fax Machine  
If you think there is a problem with your fax machine, make a copy first. If the  
copy looks good, the problem is probably not your fax machine. Check the table  
below and follow the troubleshooting tips.  
DIFFICULTY  
SUGGESTIONS  
Printing and  
Receiving Faxes  
Condensed print and  
horizontal streaks; top and  
bottom of sentences are  
cut off.  
If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with  
static or interference on the phone line. If the copy looks bad, clean  
the scanner area. If there is still a problem, call Brother Customer  
Service at 1-800-284-4329 (USA) or 1-800-853-6660 (from within  
Canada) or 1-514-685-6464 (from within Montreal).  
Vertical streaks; black lines  
appear on the faxes you  
receive.  
Sometimes you may see vertical streaks/black lines on the faxes  
you receive. Either your fax machine’s primary corona wire for  
printing may be dirty, or the sending party’s fax scanner may be  
dirty. Clean your primary corona wire (see page 111), or ask the  
sender to make a copy to see if the problem is with the sending  
machine.  
Try receiving from another fax machine.  
If the problem continues, call Brother Customer Service at  
1-800-284-4329 (USA) or 1-800-853-6660 (from within Canada)  
or 1-514-685-6464 (from within Montreal).  
The fax machine “hears”  
voice as CNG tone.  
If your fax machine is set to Easy Receive ON, and it answers voice  
calls by trying to receive a fax, try turning Easy Receive to OFF.

If you have Call Waiting, Caller ID, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Ring  
Master, Voice Mail, an answering machine, alarm system or any  
other custom feature on a single phone line with your fax  
machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving fax data.  
Example #1: If you are having a telephone conversation and a fax  
communication signal comes through on your Call Waiting Call  
ID feature, you can verify that the second call is a fax by  
switching to it. You have the option to receive the fax call, by  
asking the first caller to hang up to clear the line.  
Example #2: If you are sending or receiving a fax message while  
a Call Waiting Caller ID (or other custom feature) signal comes  
through on the line, the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt  
the fax data. (Brother’s 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.

If you select the “HP Demo” screen saver on your HP Pavilion PC after you  
have installed the optional Multi-Function Link Pro software, the  
System.ini file is overwritten and you cannot use the Brother fax machine to  
print, scan, or for Remote Setup.  
If you have used the HP Demo screen saver already, you must edit the

Bi-Directional Parallel Ports (nibble and byte modes)  
The fax machine supports both nibble (AT) and byte (Bi-directional) mode  
parallel ports. If your PC supports byte mode, scanning and fax reception will be  
at a faster speed. To verify or change the parallel port mode, please check your

Fax Machine Connect Failure or Bi-Directional  
Communication Error  
Recently, some printers have included a function to show the printer status on  
the PC display. Such printers use the bi-directional communication parallel  
port between the printer and the PC. Our Brother printer driver also has a  
bi-directional parallel port function. Since Windows® 3.1x does not support  
bi-directional communication on the parallel port, each peripheral vendor has  
developed and supplied a bi-directional device driver, which will be installed  
into Windows® 3.1x. If you install two or more different bi-directional device  
drivers into Windows®, they might conflict with each other and cause problems.  
Please make sure you have installed the Brother printer driver, by executing  
SETUP.EXE from your CD-ROM drive, following the instructions on the  
diskette label. The bi-directional communication may be disabled when the  
driver is installed from the Add menu in “Printers” of the Control Panel. Please  
restart Windows®.  
Remove the conflicting situation caused by one of the following printer  
drivers. Review the following sections that apply to any additional printer  
drivers you may have installed in your Windows® software.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge  
The fax machine can print approximately 2,200 pages with one toner  
cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows  
TONER LOW. The fax machine is supplied with a starter toner cartridge  
that must be replaced after 1,000 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. If you are  
not sure of them, consult Brother Customer Service. Be sure to seal the  
toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge.  
When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic  
garbage.  
It is recommended that you clean the fax machine when you replace the  
toner cartridge.

When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows TONER LOW

Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it into  
the fax machine. If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long period  
of time, the toner life is shortened.  
You can use only a genuine Brother toner cartridge (TN-5000PF  
series), which is specially formulated to ensure top print quality. Using  
another brand of toner cartridge may void your fax machine’s warranty.

Replacing the Drum Unit  
The fax machine uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the  
screen displays CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is nearly at the end  
of its life. Purchase a new drum unit to replace the current one.  
Even if the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue  
to print without replacing 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 fax  
machine when you replace the drum unit.  
WARNING  
When removing the drum unit, handle carefully because it contains toner.  
When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the fax machine. (See  
page 111.)  
The drum unit is a consumable, 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 toner that you use and the number of pages per  
print job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages at  
20 pages per job and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. 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.  
For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner, and the product  
should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate  
ventilation.

LinkPro Software  
Setting Up the Fax Machine and  
Computer toWorkTogether  
Your fax machine and computer can work together only if you purchase the  
optional Multi-Function Link Pro Software. Multi-Function Link Pro turns  
your fax machine into a 5-in-1 multi-function center, by enabling you to use  
it as a printer and a scanner and to use it to fax from Windows® applications  
in your computer.  
Multi-Function Link Pro does all this without taking over your Personal  
Computer. Multi-Function Link Pro (MFL Pro) operations run in the background  
of your PC memory, keeping your personal computer free for other tasks.  
You can order Multi-Function Link Pro directly from Brother. The item  
number is PCI-2CD. You can also purchase Brother’s bi-directional  
IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable, which is designed to comply with the  
limit for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. See  
“Ordering Accessories and Supplies” (UG4558001), p. ii. If you prefer to  
use a standard shielded printer cable, contact Brother at 1-888-879-3232  
(USA) or 1-800-668-2768 (from within Canada); Brother will send you a  
free filter core to attach to your printer cable.  
Before you install the optional Multi-Function  
Link Pro, you must read the README.WRI  
file in the root directory of the CD-ROM (or  
Floppy Disks) for important last-minute  
installation information and troubleshooting Tips.

Helpful Hints for Windows® 3.1, 3.11 or Windows® 95, 98  
The installer automatically updates your SYSTEM.INI Windows® file by  
adding DEVICE=bi-di.386 under the [386Enh] section. If any bi-directional  
parallel communications device driver has previously been installed, it will be  
deactivated by this new driver. If you want to use the driver that was previously  
installed, you should first install this driver, then reinstall your previous driver.  
However, reinstalling the previous driver will make the MFC driver inactive.  
The installer makes the installed printer driver the Windows® default.  
The installer automatically sets the printer port to the parallel interface, LPT1  
(for Windows® 3.1 or 3.11) and BRMFC (for Windows® 95, 98) and BMFC  
(for Windows NT® Workstation 4.0).  
During this installation, changes have been made to the SYSTEM.INI file. It  
is necessary to restart Windows® so the changes become effective and the  
installed bi-directional parallel communications device driver can take effect.

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 x 100 dpi and 200 x 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.)  
64 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 “average” setting.  
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.  
Custom  
Size  
Set the Size to one of the following:  
Letter (8 1/2 x 11 in.)  
A4 (210 x 297 mm.)  
Legal (8 1/2 x 14 in.)  
A5 (148 x 210 mm.)

Business Card (60 x 90 mm.)  
Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 x 0.35 in. to 8.5 x 14 in.)  
After you select a size, you can adjust the scanning area further by  
using the left mouse button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning  
area. This is useful when you want to crop an image when scanning.  
Business Card Size  
To scan business cards, select the Business Card (60 x 90 mm.) size  
setting 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, you should try different  
settings for the contrast, mode and resolution to see which settings  
best suit your needs.

Special Printing Features  
Windows® Printing  
The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™ - compatible fonts for  
Microsoft® Windows® 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98 and Windows NT® Workstation  
Version 4.0 are installed automatically when you install the Multi-Function  
Link Pro software option. The driver supports our unique compression  
mode to enhance printing speed in Windows® applications, and allows you  
to set various printer settings including economy printing mode and custom  
paper size.  
Bi-directional Parallel Interface  
The parallel interface of the fax machine lets the printer (fax machine)  
communicate back to the computer, sending information about memory and  
printer setup conditions.  
Enhanced Memory Management  
The fax machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which  
automatically compresses graphic data and downloads font data efficiently  
into the printer’s (fax machine’s) memory. You can avoid memory errors  
and print most full-page, 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger  
fonts, with the fax machine’s standard memory.

Printing FromYour PC  
Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder  
The fax machine’s multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper,  
envelopes, and organizer paper. When the fax machine receives data from  
your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-  
purpose sheet feeder.  
Select the print command from your PC.  
Your PC sends a print command and data to the fax machine. The  
screen displays the date and time, and RECEIVING DATA. If there are  
more pages, the fax machine begins to print the next page  
automatically. When the fax machine finishes printing all data, it  
returns to online status.  
You may select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in your  
application software.  
See  
Acceptable  
Paper  
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the  
next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left  
margins in your application software.

Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing)  
The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98 and Windows  
NT® Workstation Version 4.0 enable manual duplex printing. (For more  
information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)  
The fax machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the  
paper first. Then, the Windows® driver instructs you (with a pop-up  
message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it  
well, or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not  
recommended. If the paper “double-feeds” (sends two sheets at once), hold  
the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is feeding.  
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that a paper jam  
may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.  
Loading Envelopes in Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder  
If you load up to 10 envelopes into the multi-purpose sheet feeder, make  
sure they are inserted in the direction shown below.

Manual Feed Slot  
The multi-purpose sheet feeder also has a manual feed slot on its cover. You  
can load paper or envelopes one at a time into this slot. You do not have to  
remove paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.  
When you use labels or transparencies, be sure to use this slot. For  
information about acceptable paper, see page 16.  
Loading One Sheet of Paper  
You do not have to choose manual feed in the Setup dialog box of your  
printer driver. Insert the sheet of paper for Portrait (vertical) or Landscape  
(horizontal), with the side you wish to print on face down in the manual  
feed slot.  
Align the paper at the center of the manual feed slot, and be sure to  
insert it all the way.  
1
Adjust the paper guide of the manual feed slot to the width of the paper  
you’re using.  
2
Loading MoreThan One Sheet of Paper  
Open the Setup dialog box of the Windows® printer driver and select  
Manual Feed in the Paper Source section. Follow Steps 1 and 2 above  
to load the first page. The fax machine starts printing automatically.  
1
After the first page is printed, the dialog box appears and prompts you  
to load the next page. Load a sheet and select OK to resume printing.  
2
3
Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3 until you have finished printing.  
If you do not select manual paper feed, and insert a page in the manual  
feed slot, the fax machine will load the first page from the manual feed  
slot and subsequent pages from the multi-purpose feeder.  
Paper Tray  
The fax machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper  
tray at the front of the fax machine. When you use transparencies, remove  
each sheet immediately after printing, to prevent a paper jam or curled  
sheets.

Simultaneous Printing/Faxing  
Your fax machine can print data from your computer while sending or  
receiving a fax, or while scanning information into the computer. However,  
when the fax machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the  
PC printing operation, and resumes when copying or fax receiving is  
complete. Fax sending continues during PC printing.  
Choosing Acceptable Paper  
See  
Acceptable  
Paper  
It is recommended that you test paper, especially special sizes and types of  
paper, on the fax machine before purchasing large quantities.  
Avoid feeding labels with carrier sheets exposed, or your fax machine will  
be damaged.  
p. 16  
Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.  
Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.  
For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially plain paper  
and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications, consult  
your nearest authorized sales representative or the place where you purchased  
your fax machine.  
Use labels or transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers.  
For the best print quality, we recommend you use long-grained paper.  
If you are using special paper, and the paper has problems feeding from the  
multi-purpose sheet feeder, try again using the manual feed slot.  
You can use recycled paper in this fax machine.

NetCentric Internet Fax  
Internet faxing (NetCentric FaxStorm) brings together the power of the PC and  
the economy of the Internet. Outgoing faxes are relayed from your desktop to a  
network provider’s fax server over an IP connection. From the server, the fax job  
is transmitted across the Internet using sophisticated least-cost-routing  
algorithms, then delivered to a fax machine using local phone lines, or to another  
computer as an e-mail attachment. Faxes can be sent to a single recipient or to  
multiple recipients. NetCentric™ FaxStorm tracks your faxes to their  
destinations, and informs you of their status. When servers are down due to  
Internet outages, NetCentric™ FaxStorm re-routes your fax jobs and requests for  
account status.  
You can access incoming faxes from any web-connected desktop and even  
forward them to others directly from the Inbox account.  
For more information about how to use  
NetCentric™ FaxStorm, see the online HELP  
files after you install NetCentric™ FaxStorm on  
your computer. Use the Help pull-down menu to

About Sending a Fax as E-mail  
You can send fax files and attachments to a recipient’s e-mail address rather  
than to a fax number. When fax files are sent by e-mail, they arrive as TIFF  
file attachments to the e-mail message. The recipient can then view the  
TIFF files with an e-mail utility or an external image viewing application.  
The e-mail message to which the TIFF files are attached includes a URL to  
a web page that instructs the recipient how to configure the e-mail  
application to view the TIFF file attachments.  
Most of the steps for sending fax files to an e-mail address are the same as for  
sending fax files to a fax number. The main difference is that you choose E-mail  
from the Send As options. You must specify a valid e-mail address for the  
recipient. Fax files that you have sent to an e-mail address appear in Status  
Manager as job type E-mail.  
If you are sending a fax to more than one recipient, choose E-mail from the Send  
As options. The application sends the selected files to the e-mail address of each  
person in the recipient list. If you have not provided an e-mail address for a  
recipient, the fax job to that recipient is not sent.

Setting Up Contacts in the Contact Manager  
In addition to saving recipient information when you address a fax in the  
Send Fax window, you can add contacts manually in the Contact Manager  
window. When adding a contact, you are creating an entry in an existing  
group in your Contact Manager database. You can add the contact to a  
subgroup that you have already created. However, if you do not select a  
group, then your contact is added to the top-level group All. After you have  
added a contact to Contact Manager, you can add or move it to different  
groups.  
You can create more than one address for each person, and the Contact  
Manager treats each address as a separate entry in its database, even  
allowing you to place them in separate recipient groups. Each address can  
be viewed and edited in that contact’s Contact Detail Window.  
You can add, arrange, and delete contacts and groups of contacts. To view the  
contacts within each group, select the folder of that group. You can navigate  
through a group using alphabetic tabs. To view details of a contact, double-click
