About Fax Machines  
If youre a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious.  
Youll soon get used to 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 at the same number  
of rings, there is no way of knowing which one will answer first. It is important to  
remember that neither Voice Mail nor the fax machine can pass the call back to the  
other after the call has been answered.  
How Can You Avoid Possible Problems?  
A very good way to avoid problems like the one mentioned previously is to get 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.  
Another way to avoid possible problems 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  
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. Youll hear them when you dial,  
and then press Fax Start, and they continue for about 60 seconds after dialing. During  
that time, the sending machine must begin the handshakewith the receiving  
machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG  
tones over the phone line. Youll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you  
answer a phone on your fax line, so you know if you are receiving a fax message.  
1 - 4  
I N T R O D U C T I O N  
               
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tonesloud, chirping sounds. A  
receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the LCD shows  
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 chirpsfor about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues  
to display RECEIVE. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop/Exit.  
When your fax machine answers in FAX/TEL Mode, the fax machine listens for CNG  
tones and then responds with receiving tones.  
The fax handshakeis the time in which the sending machines CNG tones and the  
receiving machines chirpsoverlap. 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, its 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.  
Test Sheet Procedure and Product Registration  
(For USA Only)  
After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST SHEET included with  
your fax machine, and then fax it to Brothers Automated Fax Response System as  
your first transmission. This will verify that your fax machine is properly installed. To  
1 in the Owners Manual.)  
When your TEST SHEET is received, a Confirmation Sheet and Product Registration  
form will be sent back to your machine. Please fill out the form and return it to  
complete your registration.

Location and Connections  
Caution  
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 PLUG CABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the  
equipment and should be easily accessible.  
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.  
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. Do not connect your machine to  
electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of  
power can wipe out information in the units 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.

WARNING  
I This machine must be grounded using a three-prong plug.  
I 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.  
I 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.

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 overto 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  
is 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 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 Brother 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 Brother 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 Brother 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.  
1
2
Place the two-line TAD and two-line telephone next to your Brother machine.  
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex  
adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.  
3
4
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 back of the machine.  
Triplex Adapter  
Two Line Phone  
Two Line External TAD  
Brother 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 fax machines 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 ONLY Mode to receive  
faxes any time of day or night.  
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. (See Easy Receive, page 5-3.)  
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.

L O C A T I O N A N D C O N N E C T I O N S  
             
If You Are Installing the Fax Machine to Work with a PBX:  
1

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 Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be  
regarded as telephone calls.  
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.  
Custom Features on Your Phone Line  
To learn how custom features may affect your faxing operations, please see  
Custom Features on a Single Line  
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, RingMaster, an answering service, or an alarm  
system custom feature on one phone line, it may create a problem with the operation

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 listensfor fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the fax  
machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesnt 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 recommended setting is two rings). The  
fax machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with  
four rings there are only 810 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax handshake.”  
Make sure you carefully follow 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.  
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone lineyour fax machine and  
TAD will both try to control the line.

Outgoing Message (OGM) on an External TAD  
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle  
both manual and automatic fax reception.

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

Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.  
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending  
manual faxes. For example:  
After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 5 1 and Start.”  
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 telephones line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the  
left side of the fax machine.  
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if  
the fax machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call and switch  
to the fax machine, press Hook.

User-Friendly Programming  
We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming using  
navigation keys. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all  
the menu selections your fax machine has to offer.  
Since your programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen  
prompts to help you program your fax machine. All you need to do is follow the  
prompts as they guide you through the menu selections and programming  
options. Additionally, you can program settings more quickly by pressing  
Menu/Set and the menu number using the dial pad.  
Menu Selection Table  
You can probably perform most of these programming operations without the  
Owners Manual. To help you understand the menu selections and options that  
are found in the FAX programs, use the Menu Selection Table on page 3-3.  
You can also program your fax machine by pressing Menu/Set followed by the  
menu number. For example: to set VOLUME AMPLIFY to ON, press  
or  
Menu/Set, 1, 4 and  
to select ON, and then press Menu/Set.  
Alternating Displays  
Sometimes, the LCD alternates between the active setting and a help message  
giving brief instructions about how to proceed. The display youll probably see  
most often is shown below. When you place an original in the ADF, it appears  
to tell you that you can dial a number and send a fax, or you can make a copy.

Fax Start to begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with  
Distinctive Ringing. (See Distinctive Ring, page 8-1.)  
FAX ONLYThe fax 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.  
FAX/TELThe fax 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 a double-ring (ring-ring),  
different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select  
this setting, youll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the  
following pages). If you have extension phones on the same line as the fax machine,  
set Ring Delay to 4. (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)  
TAD:ANSWER MACH.This is the only setting in which you can use an external  
answering machine. Your telephone answering device is connected to your fax  
machine, and answers every call. Once the TAD answers, the fax machine listens for  
fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it prints the fax.  
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD); it  
does not work with telephone company Voice Mail. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time

You can let the fax machine pick up and detect if its a fax or voice call. If its a fax  
call, the machine prints the fax. If its 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 fax machine continues for  
the set time.  
Easy Receive  
When you use this feature, you dont have to press Fax Start when you answer a fax  
call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When you  
see RECEIVE on the LCD or when you hear chirpsthrough the handset of an  
extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset and your  
machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the fax machine to receive fax calls  
automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting  
SEMI lets the machine receive the call only if youve answered it at the fax machine.  
Selecting OFF means youll have to activate the fax machine yourself, by pressing  
Fax Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine. (See Operation from

Dialing Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers  
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 enter it, as soon as you press Fax Start. Make sure you select CHAIN as  
the type of the number when you store it as a One Touch or Speed Dial. (See Storing  
One Touch Dial Numbers and Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-1 to 7-2.)  
(For USA Only) The CallManage access code can save you money on long distance  
calls (for details, see CallManage, page 8-6).  
For example:  
You store 555on One Touch key 3 and 7000on One Touch key 4. If you press One  
Touch 3, 4 and Fax Start you will 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 can press One Touch 3, and then  
press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dial pad.  
Pause after dialing Speed Dial numbers for the name to be displayed before you enter

Telephone Services  
Custom Features  
Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring, Caller ID and Call Waiting/Caller ID  
telephone services offered by some telephone companies.  
If you have Voice Mail only, Call Waiting, RingMaster, an answering service, or an  
alarm system custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the  
operation of your fax machine. (See Custom Features on a Single Line, page 12-8.)  
If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully.  
Distinctive Ring  
The term Distinctive Ringis used by Brother to identify a telephone 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, Ident-a-  
Call or Ident-a-Ring.  
What Does Your Telephone Companys Distinctive RingDo?  
Your telephone companys Distinctive Ring service allows more than one number to  
be on 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 youll 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 fax  
machine to take full advantage of the telephone companys Distinctive Ring service.  
You can dedicate the new phone number on your line to receive only faxes.  
You must purchase your telephone companys Distinctive Ring service before you  
Note  
program the Brother machine to work with it.  
T E L E P H O N E S E R V I C E S  
8 - 1  
                     
Do You Have Voice Mail?  
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you will install your new fax 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 others work.  
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will  
need to follow the directions below to registerthe 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, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you  
reset this menu selection.  
Before You Choose the Ring Pattern to Register  
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine. Some ring  
patterns cannot be registered. Please refer to some popular ring pattern examples that  
will be provided from the telephone company in the USA and Canada that are shown  
in the Brother compatibility table below.

If the ring pattern the telephone company provided cannot be registered by the fax,  
please check for other available ring pattern choices from the telephone  
company.  
Note  
I The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.  
I 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).  
I If you program the fax machine correctly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern  
of the fax numberwithin 2 ring patterns and automatically answer with a fax tone.  
When the voice numberis called, the fax machine will not interrupt the call.

T E L E P H O N E S E R V I C E S  
   
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 fax 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 fax  
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 ONLY  
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 fax machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service  
offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the LCD shows  
the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the name, if available).  
Once you pick up the handset the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but  
the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.  
CALL PICKUP remains on the LCD when no Caller ID information was transmitted.  
OUT OF AREA means the call originates outside your Caller ID sevice area.  
PRIVATE CALL means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of  
information.  
Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to  
determine the kind of service available in your area.  
Caller ID Log  
Your fax machine stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the fax machines  
memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first call comes in, information about  
the first call is erased. You can print the report or scroll through Caller ID information  
to review those calls made to your fax machine.

CallManage (For USA Only)  
This Brother fax machine contains a One-Touch feature that allows for low-cost long  
distance communications worldwide. Once registered, fax and telephone calls made  
using this CallManage feature access a privately managed Internet Network. This  
feature, the Internet Protocol $aver (IP $aver), entitles users to receive one flat, low  
rate per minute for all domestic long distance calls and faxes along with low  
international rates. The use of the IP $averis likely to result in significant long  
distance savings, depending on your current long distance carrier and usage patterns.  
Using the CallManage IP $aver™ requires changing your current long distance  
carrier to CallManage or its carrier. This CallManage long distance plan requires no  
monthly fees, no prepayments, and no monthly minimums. The IP $averfeature is  
accessed by pressing One Touch key #2 on your Brother fax machine. Calls made  
without the use of the IP $averwill be processed over a traditional PSTN worldwide  
fiber optic network that provides flat, low long distance rates. To learn more about this  
plan, the associated rates and to order, visit us online at  
www.callmanage.com/brother or call us toll free at 1-877-717-2722.  
This service may be used on all telephones that are connected to the registered  
Note  
telephone line. To experience the same low Internet Protocol rates, just dial  
1-888-405-5279 from any single line telephone or fax and follow the simple  
voice prompts.

These notices are in effect on models sold and used in  
the United States only.  
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.  
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:  
I Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before  
hanging up.  
I Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. On the rear panel of this  
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration  
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon  
request, provide this information to your telephone company.  
You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone line by means of a standard  
modular jack, USOC RJ11C.  
An FCC compliant telephone cord with a modular plug is provided with this  
equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone line or  
premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. See the  
Installation section of this manual for details.  
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your  
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your telephone number is called.  
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line  
should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to  
your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone  
company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. If your fax damages  
the telephone line, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily.  
If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you  
will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a  
complaint with the FCC.  
Your telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations or  
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you  
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted  
telephone service.  
If you experience trouble with this fax machine, please contact a Brother authorized  
service center for information on obtaining service or repair. The telephone company  
may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the line until the problem has been  
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.  
If you are not able to solve a problem with your fax machine, contact Brother  
Customer Service. (See Brother Numbers, page i.)

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 difficulties  
below and follow the troubleshooting tips.  
Printing or Receiving Faxes  
Condensed Print and Horizontal Streaks;  
Top and Bottom of Sentences 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, call Brother Customer  
Service at 1-800-284-4329 (in USA), 1-877-BROTHER (in Canada) or  
(514) 685-6464 (in Montreal).  
Vertical Black Lines When Receiving  
The senders scanner may be dirty. 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  
(in USA), 1-877-BROTHER (in Canada) or (514) 685-6464 (in Montreal).

Phone Line or Connections  
Fax Machine Does Not Answer When Called  
Make sure the fax machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup  
(either FAX, FAX/TEL or TAD). Check for dial tone. If possible, call your fax  
machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line  
cord connection. (See Connecting the Machine, page 2-5 and Connect the  
telephone line.) Connect a standard telephone handset to the fax machine  
telephone jack. If there is no ringing when you call your fax machine, call your  
Telephone Company to check the line.  
Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Does Not Answer When Called  
Connect the telephone line cord from your TAD to the back of the fax machine,  
in the jack labeled EXT. Make sure the TAD is set to answer calls. (See  
No Dial Tone on the Handset  
Press HookORLift the handset. If you dont hear a dial tone, check  
telephone line cord connections at the fax machine and wall jack. Check that the  
handset is connected to the fax machines handset jack. Test the wall jack with  
another single line telephone. If there is no dial tone at the wall outlet, call your  
Telephone Company.  
The Caller ID does not display after the Call Waiting Signal  
The Caller ID signal is sent ten seconds after the Call Waiting Signal and  
speaking may interfere with it. When you hear the Call Waiting signal, ask the  
other party to hold while you answer the call. Then stop speaking until you see  
the Caller ID on the LCD.  
Sending Faxes  
Poor Transmitting Quality  
Try changing your resolution to FINE or S. FINE. (See Resolution, page 6-3.)  
Make a copy to verify the fax machines scanner operation.  
Dialing Does Not Work  
Check all line cord connections, and make sure the curled handset cord is not in  
the EXT jack.  
Check power cord connection.  
Send a manual fax by pressing Hook or by lifting the handset and dialing the  
number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Fax Start.  
Vertical Black Lines When Sending  
Use your fax machine to make a copy. If the copy shows the same problem, the  
scanner area is dirty. Lift the top cover and check the original path. Clean the  
scanners white tape and the glass strip under the tape using isopropyl alcohol  
and a lint-free cloth (See page 12-9.)

Handling Incoming Calls  
Double-Ring in FAX/TEL Mode  
The fax machine knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signaling you to  
answer the telephone call. Pick up the fax machine handset or answer from an  
extension phone, and then press your fax machines Telephone Answer Code  
(default setting is #51). (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)  
Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine  
If you have answered the fax machine handset, press Fax Start and hang up  
immediately.  
If you answered at an extension phone, press your three-digit Fax Receive Code  
(the factory setting is 51). When your fax machine answers, hang up.  
Fax Machine HearsVoice as CNG Tone  
If your fax machine is set to Easy Receive ON, it is more sensitive to sounds.  
Your fax machine may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line  
as a calling fax machine and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the  
fax by pressing #51 if you are at an extension phone or press Stop/Exit if you  
are at the fax machine or an external phone.  
Transmission Verification Report Prints Result: NG”  
There is probably temporary noise or static on the phone line. Try sending the  
fax again. If the problem continues, call the Telephone Company to check your  
phone line.  
Custom Features on a Single Line  
If you have Call Waiting, RingMaster, 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.  
For Example :  
Your Brother machine handles the Caller ID and Call Waiting/Caller ID  
subscriber services. However, if you subscribe to only Call Waiting or  
some other custom service and its signal comes through the line while  
your machine is sending or receiving a fax, 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.  
Using Call Waiting Caller ID:  
If you are having a telephone conversation and a fax communication  
signal comes through on Call Waiting Caller ID, 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.
