Handling and using special  
paper  
2
IMPORTANT  
Some types of paper may not perform well  
or may cause damage to your machine.  
The machine is designed to work well with  
most types of xerographic and bond paper.  
However, some paper variables may have an  
effect on print quality or handling reliability.  
Always test samples of paper before  
DO NOT use paper:  
• that is highly textured  
purchasing to ensure desirable performance.  
Store paper in its original packaging and keep  
it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from  
moisture, direct sunlight and heat.  
• that is extremely smooth or shiny  
• that is curled or warped  
1
Some important guidelines when selecting  
paper are:  
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may  
cause a paper jam or damage your  
machine.

A curl of 2 mm or greater may cause  
jams to occur.  
Preprinted paper must use ink that can  
withstand the temperature of the  
• that is coated or has a chemical finish  
• that is damaged, creased or folded  
machine’s fusing process 392 degrees  
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).  
• that exceeds the recommended weight  
specification in this guide  
If you use bond paper, paper having a  
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or  
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded  
performance.  
• with tabs and staples  
• with letterheads using low temperature  
dyes or thermography  
When you are using glossy paper, put only  
one sheet at a time in the MP tray to avoid  
a paper jam.  
• that is multipart or carbonless  
• that is designed for inkjet printing  
If you use any of the types of paper listed,  
they may damage your machine. This  
damage is not covered under any Brother  
warranty or service agreement.

Envelopes  
2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers  
will be suitable for your machine. However,  
some envelopes may have feed and print-  
quality problems because of the way they  
have been made. A suitable envelope should  
have edges with straight, well-creased folds  
and the leading edge should not be thicker  
than two sheets of paper. The envelope  
should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy  
construction. You should buy quality  
envelopes from a supplier who understands  
that you will be using the envelopes in a laser  
machine.  
• with glue on surface as shown in figure  
below  
2
• with double flaps as shown in figure  
below  
We recommend that you print a test envelope  
to make sure the print results are what you  
want.  
Types of envelopes to avoid  
2
• with sealing flaps that are not folded  
down when purchased  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT use envelopes:  
• with sealing flaps as shown in figure  
below  
• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or  
an unusual shape  
• that are extremely shiny or textured  
• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie  
strings  
• with self-adhesive closures  
• that are of a baggy construction  
• that are not sharply creased  
• with each side folded as shown in  
figure below  
• that are embossed (have raised writing  
on them)  
• that were previously printed by a laser  
machine  
• that are pre-printed on the inside  
If you use any of the types of envelopes  
listed above, they may damage your  
machine. This damage may not be  
covered under any Brother warranty or  
service agreement.  
• that cannot be arranged neatly when  
stacked  
• that are made of paper that weighs  
more than the paper weight  
specifications for the machine  
• with edges that are not straight or  
consistently square  
25  
 
Chapter 2  
Labels  
2
The machine will print on most types of labels  
designed for use with a laser machine. Labels  
should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based  
since this material is more stable at the high  
temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives  
should not come in contact with any part of  
the machine, because the label stock may  
stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause  
jams and print quality problems. No adhesive  
should be exposed between the labels.  
Labels should be arranged so that they cover  
the entire length and width of the sheet. Using  
labels with spaces may result in labels  
peeling off and causing serious jams or print  
problems.  
All labels used in this machine must be able  
to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees  
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a  
period of 0.1 seconds.  
Types of labels to avoid  
2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,  
wrinkled or an unusual shape.  
IMPORTANT  
• DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The  
exposed carrier sheet will damage your  
machine.  
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper  
weight specifications described in this  
User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this  
specification may not feed or print  
correctly and may cause damage to your  
machine.  
• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have  
previously been used or are missing a few  
labels on the sheet.

Incoming calls to the voice number, will have  
the standard ring pattern of long, long tone,  
followed by a pause, repeated, while the new  
fax number will have a different ring pattern of  
three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular  
intervals.  
Using Telstra FaxStream Duet is the  
most efficient way to receive both fax and  
telephone calls on the same line. When the  
voice call comes in, all telephones (extension  
and external) and the fax machine will ring to  
alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in,  
the fax machine will answer automatically  
without ringing, whereas the extension and  
external telephones will ring twice with a  
distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more  
efficient way of operating a Fax machine with  
an extension telephone as you do not have to  
use the remote activation codes. It gives you  
two independent numbers without the higher  
cost of a second line.  
®
®
When FaxStream Duet is On and you  
receive a voice call all extension and external  
telephones will ring with a standard ring  
pattern. The fax machine will ring on the third  
ring with a standard ring pattern. All external  
and the extension telephones will continue to  
ring, until you or a telephone answering  
device can answer the voice number.

When FaxStream Duet is On and you  
®
receive a fax call on the Duet number the  
Fax machine will answer and automatically  
receive the fax message without ringing. On  
the other hand, all extension and external  
telephones will ring twice with a distinctive  
ring pattern. Do not answer the telephone as  
you are receiving a fax message.

people who call to talk on your main number  
will not have to talk to your fax machine.  
Basically, it gives you two independent  
numbers without the higher cost of a second

message. Otherwise, you will hear the  
extension telephones and the fax machine  
continue to ring. The fax machine always  
listens to the ring pattern before it answers,  
so do not pick up the telephone during that  
time. You will quickly learn to recognize the  
ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be  
tempted to answer that number. Either you or  
a telephone answering device can answer  
the main number(s).  
After you have set the FaxAbility feature to  
On, the receive mode is set to Manual  
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or  
Voice Mail set up on the FaxAbility  
number, Manual mode means you must  
answer all the call yourself. You can not  
change the receive mode to the other

Most offices use a central telephone system.  
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC

may appear to work with a particular model of  
fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the  
unit will operate correctly.  
While it is often relatively simple to connect a  
fax machine to a PABX (Private Automatic  
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you  
contact the company that installed your  
telephone system and ask them to connect  
the fax machine for you.  
Brother does not recommend the use of a  
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can  
cause some functions of the fax machine not  
to work correctly.

connection. If you do not hear ringing when you call your machine, ask your  
telephone company to check the line.

Troubleshooting  
Receiving Faxes  
Difficulties  
Suggestions  
Cannot receive a fax.  
Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing the Hook key. If you hear  
static or interference on your fax line, please contact your local telephone  
company.  
Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into  
the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to  
DSL or VoIP services, please contact your service provider for connection  
instructions.  
Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode. This is determined by the  
external devices and telephone subscriber services you have on the same line as  
the Brother machine. (See Receive Mode settings on page 35.)  
If you have a dedicated fax line and want your Brother machine to automatically  
answer all incoming faxes, you should select Fax Onlymode.  
If your Brother machine shares a line with an external answering machine, you  
should select the External TADmode. In External TADmode, your Brother  
machine will automatically receive incoming faxes and voice callers will be able to  
leave a message on your answering machine.  
If your Brother machine shares a line with other telephones and you want it to  
automatically answer all incoming faxes, you should select the Fax/Telmode. In  
Fax/Telmode, your Brother machine will automatically receive faxes and  
produce a fast double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls.  
If you do not want your Brother machine to automatically answer any incoming  
faxes, you should select the Manualmode. In Manualmode, you must answer  
every incoming call and activate the machine to receive faxes.  
Another device or service at your location may be answering the call before your  
Brother machine answers. To test this, lower the ring delay setting:  
If the answer mode is set to Fax Onlyor Fax/Tel, reduce the ring delay to  
1 ring. (See Ring Delay on page 35.)  
If the answer mode is set to External TAD, reduce the number of rings  
programmed on your answering machine to 2.  
If the answer mode is set to Manual, DO NOT adjust the ring delay setting.  
Have someone send you a test fax:  
If you received the test fax successfully, your machine is operating properly.  
Remember to reset your ring delay or answering machine setting back to your  
original setting. If receiving problems recur after resetting the ring delay, then  
a person, device, or subscriber service is answering the fax call before the  
machine has a chance to answer.  
B
If you were not able to receive the fax, then another device or subscriber  
service may be interfering with your fax reception or there may be a problem  
with your fax line.

There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again.  
If you are sending a PC-Fax message and get RESULT:ERRORon the  
Transmission Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To free up  
extra memory, you can turn off fax storage (see Changing Remote Fax Options in  
Chapter 4 of the Advanced User's Guide), print fax messages in memory (see  
Printing a fax from the memory in Chapter 4 of the Advanced User's Guide) or  
cancel a delayed fax or polling job (see Checking and cancelling waiting jobs in  
Chapter 3 of the Advanced User's Guide). If the problem continues, ask the  
telephone company to check your telephone line.

Troubleshooting  
Handling incoming calls  
Difficulties  
Suggestions  
The machine ‘Hears’ a voice as a  
CNG Tone.  
If Fax Detect is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may  
mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling  
and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing  
Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect to Off. (See Fax  
Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an external or extension telephone, press your Remote  
Activation code (default setting is l51 (l91 for New Zealand)). When your  
machine answers, hang up.  
Custom features on a single line.  
If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID, Voice Mail, an  
answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single  
telephone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving  
faxes.  
For Example: If you subscribe to 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 faxes. 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.

When you send a fax automatically, by  
default your machine will wait for a fixed  
amount of time before it starts to dial the  
number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to  
Detectionyou can make your machine dial  
as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting  
can save a small amount of time when  
sending a fax to many different numbers. If  
you change the setting and start having  
problems with dialling you should change  
back to the default No Detectionsetting.

Improving the print quality  
B
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 4, 2, 3). If the printout looks good,  
the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a  
different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem,  
check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart  
below and follow the recommendations.  
Note  
Brother does not recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges or the  
refilling of used cartridges with toner from other sources.  
a To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you use  
paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other print media
