User-Friendly Programming  
We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming and a Help key. User-friendly  
programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions your machine has to offer. See  
Because you do all your programming on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen prompts to  
help you program your machine. All you need to do is follow the prompts as they guide you through  
the function menu selections and programming options and settings.  
A complete list of the function selections, options, and settings that are available is provided in the  
Function Mode  
You can access the Function Mode by pressing Menu/Set.  
When you enter the Function Mode, your machine displays a list of main menu options from which  
you can choose. These options appear one after the other on the display. Select an option by pressing  
Menu/Set when the option appears on the LCD.  
You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing . When the screen displays your  
selection, press Menu/Set. (Use  
to scroll backward if you passed your choice or to save key  
strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the opposite order.)  
When you finish a function, the screen displays ACCEPTED.  
If you want to exit the Function Mode, press Stop  
.
Alternating Displays  
The LCD sometimes alternates between the currently selected option, and a help message giving  
brief instructions about how to proceed. The display you’ll probably see most often is shown below,  
showing you that when you place a document in the feeder, you can either dial a number to send it  
as a fax or press the copy key to make a copy of the document.

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide  
Packing  
Whenever you transport the machine, use the packing materials that came with your machine and  
pack the machine correctly.  
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 machine near a telephone socket and a standard, earthed Mains socket.  
Avoid placing your machine in a busy 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. 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.  
Preparation and Simple Use Guide 5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Connecting the Power Cord  
This fax must be earthed using a 3-pin plug.  
Since the machine is earthed through the power outlet, you can protect  
yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone  
network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to  
a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to  
move your machine, 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 as well  
as on the telephone line, or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.  
Memory Storage  
Your machine is equipped with an internal battery that will keep the date and time information for  
up to about 15 hours (FAX-T76), about 9 hours (FAX-T74) after power has been cut off. After that  
time, the date and time will be lost and you will have to re-enter the information. In the event of a  
power failure, all settings in the INITIAL SETUP, SETUP RECEIVE, SETUP SEND, SET  
QUICK-DIAL, REMOTE FAX OPT and SETUP TAD functions are stored permanently except  
POLLING RX, CONTRAST, RESOLUTION, OVERSEAS MODE, CALL RESERVE,  
TIMER and POLLED TX.  
On the FAX-T76, it will retain the data for Out-of-Paper Reception, Memory Transmission and  
Message Manager for up to 6 hours after a power interruption.  
Setting the Date and Time  
The screen displays, the date and time you set, whenever the machine is in stand-by mode. It will  
print the date and time on every fax you send.  
In the event of a power failure, the machine maintains date and time information for about 15 hours.  
All other settings remain unaffected.

Press Stop to exit.  
Using the speakerphone  
Instead of using the handset, you can press Speaker Phone.  
On the FAX-T76, you can switch from handset to Speakerphone by pressing Speaker Phone, then  
replacing the handset. You can switch from Speakerphone to handset by lifting the handset.  
Automatic Redial  
If the line is busy when you send a fax using automatic transmission, the machine will automatically  
redial up to 4 times (3 times for Ireland) at 2 minute intervals.

Setting the Station ID  
See “Set station ID”, step 7 in Preparation and Simple Use Guide (on page 3).  
You can store your name, fax number, and telephone number, which will be printed on all fax pages  
It is important that you enter the fax and telephone numbers in the internationally standardised  
format, i.e. in accordance with the following strict sequence:  
- The “+” (plus) character (by pressing  
key)  
- Your Country Code (e.g. “44” for the United Kingdom, “41” for Switzerland)  
- Your local area code minus any leading “0” (“9” in Spain)  
- A space  
- Your number on the local exchange, using spaces to aid readability as appropriate.  
As an example, If your machine was installed here at Brother International in the UK, your telephone  
number would be 0161 330 6531. You would therefore enter +44 161 330 6531 into your STATION  
ID.

If your Station ID has already been programmed, the screen prompts “1” to  
make a change, or “2” to exit without changing.  
Setting the Document  
Documents must be between 14.8 and 21.6 cm wide, and 15 and 60 cm long. Your fax machine  
can only scan an image 20.8 cm wide, regardless of how wide the paper is.  
Make sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.  
Preparation and Simple Use Guide 7  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.  
Paper Guides  
The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 10 pages, feeding each one individually  
2
2
through the fax machine. Use standard (64 g/m ~90 g/m ) paper when using the ADF; if you’re  
using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper jams.  
Press Resolution (before you send the fax) to select the resolution for the document you’re  
sending. If you wish to sent STANDARD resolution, ie a general fax with no graphics, then the  
default is STANDARD, and the resolution button need not be pressed.  
DO NOT use, curled,wrinkled paper, folded, ripped paper, or paper with  
staples, paper clips, paste, or tape attached.  
DO NOT use, cardboard,newspaper, or fabric.  
DO NOT use paper on which correction fluid has been used  
Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry.  
Making a Copy  
See “Making a Single Copy”, step 11 in Preparation and Simple Use Guide (see page 4).  
Do NOT pull the paper while copying is in progress. To cancel, press Stop  
.
Setting the Dialling Mode (Tone/Pulse)  
Your machine is initially set to TONE. If you are using a PULSE dial line, you can change the  
setting to PULSE by following the steps below.  
1
2
Press Menu/Set, 1, 1. The screen prompts you to select TONE or PULSE.  
Use or to select the dialling mode, and press Menu/Set when the screen displays the  
dialling mode you want.  
3
Press Stop to exit.  
Although this equipment can use either Pulse or Tone signalling, only the  
performance of the Tone signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for  
correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the equipment is set  
to use the Tone signalling for access to public or private emergency services. The  
Tone signalling also provides faster call set up.

Multi-Line Connections (PABXs)  
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the  
machine to a key system or a PABX (Private Automatic 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  
ONLY 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.  
If you are installing the machine to work with a PABX:  
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances with a PABX.  
Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PABX.  
2
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.  
3
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialling telephone service.  
Using Extension Telephones  
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to  
add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement  
is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause  
unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile  
transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call.  
Additionally, remote activation may not operate reliably in such a simple configuration.  
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a transmission at a pre-set time).  
This pre-set job may coincide with someone picking up an extension handset.  
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange modification of your extension  
wiring circuit, such that extension devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a  
master/slave configuration. In such a configuration, this machine can always detect whether a  
telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line during that time. This is known as  
“telephone off-hook detection.”  
The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 below, and the recommended master/slave  
configuration is shown in figure 2.  
This new connection configuration can be arranged by your contacting BT, Kingston upon Hull  
Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as  
appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a normal  
modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be inserted into the modular socket of the white  
“T”-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.. (Only for FAX-T74)  
On the FAX-T76, set the Answer Mode to TAD:MSG MGR.  
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line––your machine  
and TAD will both try to control the line.  
Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD  
Timing is important in recording this message.  
1
2
3
Record four 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.)  
Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone answering device (ideally less  
than 10 seconds).  
End your message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes. For  
example:  
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing 51.”  
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some  
fax machines do not send a fax tone in manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they  
must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.

Answer Mode Settings  
Select Answer Mode  
Manual—You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press Start or key 5 1 from  
an extension phone to begin receiving the fax, then hang up.  
Fax Only—The machine automatically answers every call as a fax call. You cannot receive a voice  
call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.  
F/T—The machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it prints the fax. If the call  
is not a fax, it signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring, different from the phone company ringing, to  
alert you to pick up the call. If you select this setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring  
Time features (on the following pages). See “For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only” on page 42.  
TAD (FAX-T74)—This is the only setting in which you can use an external answering machine.  
Your telephone answering device is connected to your machine via the socket in the line cord plug,  
and answers every call. Once the external telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the machine  
listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it receives the fax.  
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD). Ring Delay and  
F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.  
TAD (FAX-T76)—The FAX-T76 provides you with a built-in digital Message Manager for fax and  
voice. When you set the machine to answer calls, it will record up to 15 minutes of messages. See

ring.

Press Stop to exit.  
Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues  
the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.  
Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in F/T mode, because some fax  
machines do not send the standard Group 3 calling tone (“CNG”), but this is not common.  
This machine does not generate ringing conditions to any extension  
telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring during the period  
set on ring delay.  
Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing Announcement (F/T MESSAGE)  
(Only for FAX-T76)  
This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external TAD) when someone calls and  
your machine is set to F/T mode. Although callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a  
message. See “Erasing the Outgoing Message (OGM)” on page 57 for directions to erase the  
announcement.

Press Stop to exit.  
It is not necessary to have an outgoing message. The F/T mode will work fine  
without one. It is only to help the caller understand the status of your machine.  
For example, you can leave a message that says:  
“Hello, please wait, we are trying to connect you. If you wish to send a fax, please wait until you  
hear a fax tone and press the Start key, or, press 5 1 (your three-digit remote activation code) and  
press the Start key.”

Fax Detect  
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling  
beeps. Just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVE on the fax  
screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another  
wall jack, just replace the handset, and your machine does the rest (see page 10 fig.2).  
Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset  
of an extension phone or a phone or TAD connected to the machine.  
Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the machine.  
Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Start or by

When you use Auto Reduction to reduce incoming documents to fit on one page  
of recording paper, you can do so only as long as the original document is not  
longer than 35 cm. If the original is longer than 35 cm, the data will not be  
reduced and will carry over to print on a second page.  
When you use Auto Reduction and you receive an incoming document that is  
smaller than your recording paper, no reduction will take place, and you will get  
the same size recorded as the original.

Operation from an External  
or Extension Telephone  
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make your machine take over by  
using the Activation Code. When you press the Activation Code 5 1, the machine starts to receive  
If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-rings for you to take over, use the Deactivation  
Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in F/T mode.  
(You have to set Remote Activation to ON in Menu/Set, 2, 4 to use  
5 1 or # 5 1.)  
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax.  
If you are using the machine phone, press Start, then hang up.  
If you are using an extension phone, press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang  
up.  
If you are using an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the  
screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send  
the fax.)  
If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is being  
received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable.  
Extension telephones are not permitted in some countries, in such a case the deactivation code will  
not work.  
The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you are using an external TAD,  
your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax, press  
5 1”. See  
For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only  
When the machine is in F/T mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T pseudo-ringing) to alert you  
to 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  
press # 5 1 between the F/T pseudo-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.  
Remote Call Transfer  
In order to set the Remote Activation, you should first set Menu/Set, 2, 4 REMOTE CODE to ON.  
This function works when you receive the incoming Voice call at the remote DECT cordless phone  
externally connected to the fax machine. See “Connecting an External Telephone” on page 12.  
You can transfer voice call to the fax machine. But you can not transfer the incoming voice call from  
the fax machine to the DECT cordless phone.

the fax machine in order to transfer the voice call to the fax machine.  
Don’t hang up the call from the cordless phone until the voice call has been  
transferred to the fax machine. You will know when this is because you will no  
longer be able to hear or talk to the caller via the cordless phone. If you do not wait  
until this point before hanging up from the cordless phone, the call will be lost.  
If nobody answers at the fax machine, pseudo-ringing stops after 30 seconds. In that case, it may still  
be possible to speak with the caller from the cordless phone. Speech between the fax machine and  
the cordless phone (= intercom) is not possible.  
Changing Remote Codes  
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Activation Code is 5 1.  
The preset Deactivation Code is # 5 1. The preset Activation Voice Code is  
8 1.  
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try  
changing the Activation Code from 5 1 to # # # and the Deactivation Code from  
# 5 1 to 1 1 1. You cannot use the same number for the Activation Code and the

Telephone Services  
Your FAX supports the Caller ID and BT Call Sign (For U.K. Only) telephone services offered by  
some telephone companies.  
Caller ID (Caller IDentification)  
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number  
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’s memory. In addition to the standard  
Caller ID features, you can select a Caller ID and have your machine dial the number for you.  
Advanced Receiving 43  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local  
telephone company, if available.  
To PABX Users :  
Calling line identification signals are not generally delivered to your Brother fax  
machine if it is connected behind a private branch exchange (PBX) system or  
other call routing device.  
Advantages of Caller ID  
For Business  
All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls.  
At Home  
Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls by seeing the callers name or  
number before they answer.

How Does the Caller ID Work?  
The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings  
As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number. If the callers name is  
stored in your machine as a Speed Dial, or One Touch dial, the callers name will be displayed. Once  
you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the  
number on the display.  
If “# UNAVAILABLE” appears on the display, it means that the call came from  
outside your caller ID service area. *  
If “# WITHHELD” appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally  
blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *  
If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, “PICK UP PHONE” will  
remain on the display.  
* Depends on network Function.  
The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine’s Memory  
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.  
Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply.  
You can scroll through the Caller IDs on the display and select one for your machine to dial.

Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply  
You can display the caller IDs that are stored in the memory and select the caller you want your  
machine to dial. Call Reply is a convenient feature whereby your Brother fax can dial back a voice/  
fax call “on-hook” to the opposite party associated with a Caller ID number which has been captured

BT Call Sign (For U.K. Only)  
This machine feature lets you use the BT Call Sign subscriber service which allows you to have at  
least two separate telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own distinctive  
ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a  
separate phone number for your machine.  
Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate  
a second phone number (on the same phone line) just for receiving faxes.  
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax  
number, make sure you reset this function.  
To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the machine  
must be in Manual Mode.  
In FAX mode, the machine will answer all incoming calls on the line.

Polling  
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another machine. You can use your  
machine to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine.  
All parties involved in polling need to set up their 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. See “Polled Transmit” on page 49.  
Polling Receive  
Secure Polling  
Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and from “falling into the wrong hands” while the  
fax machine is set up for polling. You can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax  
machine. Your four-digit ID number must be entered on the fax machine that polls for your  
documents.  
Some machines do not respond to the polling function.

(Only for FAX-T76)  
Message Manager Mode  
Message Manager Mode allows you to store incoming fax and voice messages in a flexible memory.  
The memory stores 15 minutes of voice messages, or up to 20 pages of fax messages. The actual  
number of pages stored in memory varies depending on the content and the resolution used. Memory  
is shared between fax and voice messages, which are stored on a “first-come, first-served” basis.  
Any voice or fax message can be retrieved remotely.  
Flexible Memory Settings (Message Store)  
Message Manager Mode offers you six flexible memory settings, so that you can decide which kinds  
of messages you want to receive.  
1. DOC:ON, VOICE:ON  
Both voice and fax messages are stored. You can use the Fax  
Forwarding or Paging features and retrieve voice and fax messages  
remotely.  
2. DOC:ON, VOICE:EXT You need an external answering machine connected to the fax  
machine for this setting. Fax messages are stored in the Message  
Manager memory, but voice messages are stored in your external  
answering machine. Retrieve voice messages from the external  
answering machine. You cannot use the Paging feature for voice  
message with this setting.  
3. DOC:ON, VOICE:OFF All memory is used to store fax messages—no voice messages will  
be stored.  
4. DOC:OFF, VOICE:ON All memory is used to store voice messages—no fax messages will

Fax Forwarding/Paging  
When Paging is set to ON, your machine dials the pager number you have programmed and, when  
connected, plays the Paging OGM message you have recorded for 60 seconds. This activates your  
pager and let you know you have a fax or voice message in the Message Manager memory.  
When Fax Forwarding is set to ON, your machine dials the fax machine phone number you’ve  
programmed, and forwards any faxes you’ve received.  
You cannot use Paging and Fax Forwarding at the same time.

About Fax Machines  
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. You’ll soon get  
used to 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, beeps  
at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Start, and they continue for about  
40 seconds after dialling. 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 RECEIVE. If your fax machine  
is set to the FAX ONLY 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 RECEIVE. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop.  
When your fax machine is in FAX/TEL (F/T) mode, it answers with a short beep. After this beep,  
the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and, if heard, it will respond 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 fax 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 dialled. 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 machine for this feature to work.
