Report your issue to either our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-284-4329

Brother® One Year Limited Warranty and
Replacement Service (USA only)
by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a
refurbished or remanufactured replacement Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such
replacement products conform to the manufacturer's specifications for new
product/parts. The repaired or replacement Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or
made available for you to pick up at a conveniently located Authorized
Service Center.
If the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are
not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping
the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back
to you and charged for any service and/or replacement parts/products at
Brother's then current published rates.
The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under
this warranty.
What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine:
When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have
delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized
Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving
one from Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brother, Brother will send
to you a replacement Machine with the understanding that you will, after
receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required proof of purchase
information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You
are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the
package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the
pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions
provided by Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines,
Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number.
Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you
provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines that your
original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be
charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your
original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems
with your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the
proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to
the product; or (iv) the warranty period on your original Product has expired
or has not been sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of purchase (bill
of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or
remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty
period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days.
You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original
Machine shall become the property of Brother. Retain your original
Accessory Items and a copy of the return freight bill, signed by the
courier.
Limitations:
Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media,
programs or data related to the use of this Product. Except for that repair or
replacement as described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct,
indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief. Because
some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or
incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION,
PROMISE, DESCRIPTION, DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND
ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY

PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY
• This Limited Warranty is the only warranty that Brother is giving for this
Product. It is the final expression and the exclusive and only statement of

(“Brother”), or its Authorized Service Centers, will repair this MFC/Facsimile
machine free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This Limited
Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without
limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner and drum) or damage caused by
accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage
caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone
other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of
supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products. Operation of
the MFC/Facsimile machine in excess of the specifications or with the Serial
Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed abuse and all repairs
thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In order to
obtain warranty service, the MFC/Facsimile machine must be delivered or
shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized
Service Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales
Receipt.
For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum
Unit on applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the
MFC/Facsimile and will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your User’s Guide for
proper packaging.)
For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping.
Damage to your print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges
will VOID your warranty. (Refer to your User’s Guide for proper packaging.)

A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY
WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY WAIVED.
No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother,
its Authorized Service Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees,
shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states
Brother’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any
failure of the MFC/Facsimile machine to operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or
delivery of this MFC/Facsimile machine shall be liable for any indirect,
incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages,
including lost profits, arising from the use of or inability to use the product,
even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the possibility of such
damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of liability,
such limitation may not apply to you.

other rights which vary from Providence to Providence.

About fax machines
Custom features
Do you have Voice Mail on the phone line?
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line where you will install your
new fax machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and
the fax machine may conflict with each other while receiving
incoming calls.
Why should there be problems?
Since both the fax machine and Voice Mail will pick up the call after
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
the fax machine is set to answer after four, your Voice Mail will stop
the fax machine from receiving faxes.
If you set Voice Mail and the fax machine to answer after 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, is to
get a second phone number on your present phone line.
Many people with Voice Mail choose this service, 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 fax machine is designed to
work with an answering machine or TAD (telephone answering
device).

Fax tones and handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling
tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every
4-seconds. You’ll hear them after you dial and press Fax Start and
they will continue for about 60 seconds after dialing. During that
time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the
receiving machine.
Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are
sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen
for these quiet beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax
line, so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are
loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds
over the phone line, and the LCD shows RECEIVE.
If the fax machine is set to the FAX ONLYmode, it will answer every
call automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person
hangs up, the fax machine will continue to send the “chirps” for
about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues to show RECEIVE. To
cancel the receiving, press Stop/Exit.
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 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 60 seconds after the number is dialed. So it is 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 decide the number of
rings before the call is answered.
Pay special attention to the directions for connecting a TAD in
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to
check a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions
are only possible between machines that both have this feature. If
they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are
continuously being checked by the fax machine.
The fax machine must have enough memory for this feature to
work.

Connections
Connecting an external telephone
You can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering
device) directly to your fax machine as shown in the diagram
below.
Connect the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. in the
side of the fax machine.
.
Extension
Telephone
External
Telephone
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows
EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm
sounds.
To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the fax,
lift the handset and press Hook.
Connecting an external telephone answering device
(TAD)
Sequence
You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when
you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax
machine, the TAD answers all calls and 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 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 8 to
10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure
you carefully follow the instructions in this manual for recording
your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver
feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds four rings.
If you do not receive all your faxes, you must reset the setting
on your external TAD to four rings or less.

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets
up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your
message. (This allows the fax machine time to listen for the
fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

3
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
51 and Start.”
1 - 10 Introduction
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the fax machine cannot hear fax tones over
a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but
if the fax machine has trouble receiving, then you must
re-record the OGM to include it.
Special line considerations
Roll Over phone lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate
telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are
busy. The calls are usually passed down or “rolled over” to the next
available phone line in a preset order.
The 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. The 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 the fax machine.
Converting telephone wall outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. 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 the fax machine is on Line 1, plug the fax machine into
L1 of the triplex adapter. If the fax machine is on Line 2, plug it into
L2 of the triple 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, the 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, which is
explained 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 the fax 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 the two-line telephone next to the
fax machine.
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for the fax machine
into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into
the LINE jack on the back side of the fax 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 left side of the fax machine.

There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the fax

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.
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.
If you are installing the fax machine to work with a PBX
1
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.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard
operator, it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to
MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as
telephone calls.
Custom features on your phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, RingMaster, an answering
service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one phone
line it may create a problem with the operation of your fax machine.

Telephone services
Your fax machine supports the Caller ID and Distinctive Ring
subscriber telephone service that some telephone companies
offer.
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, RingMaster, an
answering service, an alarm system or other custom features
on your telephone line, it may affect the way the fax machine
If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the
following carefully.
Distinctive Ring
Brother uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but different telephone
companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing,
RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.
What does your telephone company’s ‘Distinctive
Ring’ do?
Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows you to
have more than one number on the same phone line. If you need
more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an
extra line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern,
so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way
you can have a separate phone number for your machine.
Please call your telephone company for availability and rates.
What does Brother’s ‘Distinctive Ring’ do?
The Brother fax machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows
you to use your machine to take full advantage of the telephone
company’s Distinctive Ring service. The new phone number on
your line can just receive faxes.
You must pay for your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring
service before you program the fax machine to work with it.
Do you have Voice Mail?
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that 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
you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice
Mail and the machine can work together without any
problems. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will
interfere with the other’s operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone
company, you will need to follow the directions below to ‘register’
the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your
machine can recognize its incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any
time. You can switch it off temporarily, and turn it back on
later. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset
this feature.

Before you choose the ring pattern to register
You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the
machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring
patterns below are supported by the Brother machine. Register the
one your telephone company gives you.

If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call
your telephone company and ask for one that is shown.
■ The machine will only answer calls to its registered number.
■ The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because
the fax must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the
pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other telephones on the same
line will ring.)
■ If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the
registered ring pattern of the ‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns
and then answer with a fax tone. When the ‘voice number’ is
called, the machine will not answer.
Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to ON, the receive

Caller ID
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber
service offered by many local telephone companies. This
service displays the telephone number, or name if it is
available, of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your
caller (and 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.
■ You will see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).
■ OUT OF AREAdisplay means call originated outside your Caller
ID service area.
■ PRIVATE CALLdisplay 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 machine stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into
your machine’s memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first

Try setting the Compatibility to BASIC.
If the problem continues, call the telephone company
to check your phone line.
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’s handset or answer from an
extension phone, and then press the fax machine’s
Telephone Answer Code (default setting is #51).
Transferring a call If you have answered at the fax machine’s handset,
to the fax machine press Fax Start and hang up immediately.
If you answered at an extension phone, press your
three-digit Fax Receive Code (default setting is 51).
When the fax machine answers, hang up.
The fax machine
“hears” voice as
fax tone
If the fax machine is set to Easy Receive ON, it is more
sensitive to sounds. The 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.
Try avoiding this problem by turning Easy Receive to
Custom features
on a single line
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an
alarm system or any other custom feature on a single
phone line with the fax machine, it may create a
problem sending or receiving fax data.
For example: If you are sending or receiving a fax
message while a custom feature signal comes through
on the line, the signal can temporarily interrupt or
disrupt the fax data. Your fax machine’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 data on a
single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a
slight interruption is crucial to your business, we
recommend a separate phone line with no custom
features.
