(For Canada Only)  
Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts,  
Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“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 Operation Manual 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 Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY

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.

which vary from Providence to Providence.

Introduction

Using This Manual  
Thank you for purchasing a Brother FAX/MFC. This FAX/MFC has been designed to  
be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However,  
you can use your FAX/MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this  
manual.  
Additionally, your FAX/MFC has a Help Key. Press Copy/Help and then press  
Start to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.  
Finding Information  
All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be  
able to find information about a specific feature or function by checking the Index at  
the back of this manual. Also, throughout this manual, you’ll see special symbols  
alerting you to important information, cross-references, and warnings. Illustrations of  
some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses.  
About FAX/MFC  
If you’re a first-time FAX/MFC 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/MFC sends fax calling tones (CNG tones)—  
soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and  
press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing. During that time, the  
sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time  
you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone  
line. You’ll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on  
your fax line, so you 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/MFC 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/MFC 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/MFC answers in FAX/TEL Mode, the FAX/MFC listens for CNG  
tones and then responds with receiving tones.  
The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the  
receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the  
machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake  
cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 40  
seconds after the number is dialed. Therefore, it’s important for the receiving machine  
to answer the call in as few rings as possible.  
When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line, your  
TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special  
attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD to your  
FAX/MFC.  
ECM (Error Correction Mode)  
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the FAX/MFC 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/MFC for this feature to work.

Choosing a Location  
Place your FAX/MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is  
free of vibration and shocks. Locate the FAX/MFC 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/MFC 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.

WARNING  
This machine must be grounded using a three-prong plug.  
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.  
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 over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.  
Your FAX/MFC 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/MFC 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/MFC 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
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.

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/MFC’s wall outlet. You can plug the telephone  
line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or,  
you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.  
Multi-Line Connections (PBX)  
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to  
connect the FAX/MFC 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/MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the  
FAX/MFC. You can then leave the FAX/MFC in FAX ONLY Mode to receive faxes  
any time, day or night.  
If the FAX/MFC 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 5-4.)  
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/MFC cannot be made.  
If you are installing the FAX/MFC to work with a PBX:  
1
2
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.

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/MFC, the TAD answers all calls.  
The FAX/MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the FAX/MFC  
takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the FAX/MFC  
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/MFC cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four  
rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.” Make  
sure you carefully follow 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 line—your FAX/MFC and TAD  
will both try to control the line.

Outgoing Message (OGM)  
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 your FAX/  
MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they  
stop.)  
2
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 5 1 and Start.”  
Connecting an External Telephone  
Your FAX/MFC 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/MFC.  
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the  
back of the FAX/MFC.  
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and,  
if the FAX/MFC handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call and switch  
to the FAX/MFC, press Speaker Phone.

by pressing Function/Set when the option appears on the screen.  
You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing  
. When the screen  
displays your selection, press Function/Set. (Press to scroll backward if you  
passed your choice or to save key strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the  
opposite order.)  
Before you press Function/Set after entering information in a field using the dial  
pad, you can correct a mistake. Use  
characters.

When you finish a function, the screen displays ACCEPTED.  
If you want to exit the Function mode, press Stop.  
Alternating Displays  
When you see 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,  
when you place an original in the ADF, that you can dial a number and send a fax, or  
you can make a copy.

Easy Receive  
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 a few 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. Selecting ON allows the FAX/MFC 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 you’ve answered it at the FAX/MFC.  
Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the FAX/MFC yourself, by pressing  
Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine. (See Operation from  
External or Extension Telephone, and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-6.)

Operation from External or Extension Telephone  
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT.  
jack, you can make your FAX/MFC take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When  
you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the FAX/MFC starts to receive a fax. (See  
If the FAX/MFC answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use the  
Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. (See  
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the  
FAX/MFC phone, press Start, then hang up. At an extension phone, press 5 1, wait

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.)  
For FAX/TEL Mode Only  
When the FAX/MFC is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double  
ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the FAX/MFC, 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 double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone  
wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the FAX/MFC by pressing 5 1.

Polling  
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use your  
FAX/MFC to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine. All  
parties involved in polling need to set up their fax machines to accommodate polling.  
When someone polls your machine to receive a fax, they pay for the call; if you poll  
someone’s fax machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call.  
For details about the Polling function, our fax-back system 1-800-521-2846 (USA),  
1-800-681-9838 (From within Canada) and request Document #: 20918.  
Some fax machines do not respond to the polling function.

When you dial an AUTO DIAL number, the screen displays the name you’ve stored,  
or, if you haven’t stored a name, the number you’ve stored.  
If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store a  
pause at that place in the number by pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a  
3.5 second pause.  
You can use chain dialing to store long dialing sequences. For example, to store 9 1  
201 555 1234 987 65 4321, divide the number into two parts. Store the first part as a  
Chain type number (this tells the system that the dialing sequence is not complete).  
CHAIN—9 1 201 555 1234  
The last part of the One Touch number must be stored as any of the other following  
three types.  
FAX or FAX/TEL or TEL—987 65 4321  
Now, when you dial, just press the two keys (one after the other, in order) where

Dialing Options  
You can use your FAX/MFC to make voice telephone calls by dialing manually, or by  
using Search, One Touch or Speed Dial memory. You can use the handset or you can  
use the Speaker Phone to make and receive calls.  
The Speakerphone allows you to operate the phone hands free, or allows more than  
one person in the room to participate in a two-way phone conversation.When using the  
Speakerphone, make sure to speak clearly and close to the microphone  
.
When you dial an auto dial number, the screen displays the name you’ve stored, or, if  
you haven’t stored a name, the fax number you’ve stored.

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 entered it, as soon as you press Start. Make sure you selected CHAIN as  
the type of the number when you store it into the One Touch or Speed Dial. (See  
Storing One Touch Dial Numbers and Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-1 to 7-2.)  
The CallManage access code can save you money on long distance calls (for details,  
see CallManage, page 8-5). (For USA Only)  
For example:  
You store “555”on One Touch key 03 and “7000”on One Touch key 02. If you press  
One Touch 03, 02 and 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 03 and  
press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dial pad.  
Pause after dialing Speed Dial numbers for the name to be displayed before you enter  
the next portion of the dialing sequence.

Custom Features  
Your FAX/MFC supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone services  
offered by some telephone companies.  
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service or an alarm  
system or other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the  
operation of your FAX/MFC.  
Distinctive Ring  
This FAX/MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered by  
some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on  
one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you know  
which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone  
number for your FAX/MFC.  
Your FAX/MFC has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone  
number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions below to  
“register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern, that was assigned by the Telephone  
Company, so your FAX/MFC 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 function.  
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the FAX/MFC. Some ringing  
patterns cannot be registered.  
The FAX/MFC will answer only calls to its registered number.  
To have your TAD answer only the main number, the FAX/MFC must be in Manual  
Mode.  
In FAX/TEL or FAX ONLY mode, the FAX/MFC will answer all numbers on the  
phone line.

Caller ID  
The Caller ID feature of this FAX/MFC lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service  
offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the screen  
displays 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 screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.  
• CALL PICKUP display remains on the screen when no Caller ID information was  
transmitted.  
• OUT-OF-AREA display means the call originates outside your Caller ID service area.  
• PRIVATE CALL display 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/MFC stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the FAX/MFC’s  
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/MFC.

standard long distance plans of major carriers within the United States. This may  
result in significant savings, depending on your current long distance carrier and  
calling patterns.

Message Center Mode  
Message Center 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 memory. Any voice or fax message can be retrieved remotely. Memory is  
shared between fax and voice messages, which are stored on a “first-come, first-  
served” basis.  
You must record an outgoing message in order to use the Message Center Mode. (See  
Flexible Memory Settings (Message Storage)  
Message Center Mode offers you six flexible memory settings, so you can decide the  
kinds of messages you want to receive.

cannot use the Paging feature for voice messages with  
this setting.  
3.FAX:ON VOICE:OFF All memory is used to store fax messages— no voice  
messages will be stored.

Important Information  
12  
Standard Telephone and FCC Notices  
These notices are in effect on models sold and used in  
the United States only.  
This equipment is hearing aid and volume control compatible.  
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency  
numbers:  
Before you hang up, briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.  
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  
premise’s 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 product, 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 machine, contact Brother Customer

If You Are Having Difficulty with Your FAX/MFC  
If you think there is a problem with your FAX/MFC, make a copy first. If the copy  
looks good, the problem is probably not your FAX/MFC. 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 (USA), 1-800-853-6660 (from within Canada) or  
1-514-685-6464 (from within Montreal).  
Vertical Black Lines When Receiving  
The sender’s 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  
(USA), 1-800-853-6660 (from within Canada) or 1-514-685-6464 (from within  
Montreal).  
Phone Line or Connections  
FAX/MFC Does Not Answer When Called  
Make sure the FAX/MFC is in the correct receiving mode for your setup (either  
FAX, FAX/TEL or TAD). Check for dial tone. If possible, call your FAX/MFC  
to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord  
connection. (See Connecting the Machine, page 2-4 and Connect the telephone  
line.) Connect a standard telephone handset to the FAX/MFC telephone jack.  
If there is no ringing when you call your FAX/MFC, 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/MFC,  
in the jack labeled EXT. Make sure the TAD is set to answer calls. (See  
No Dial Tone on the Handset  
Press Speaker PhoneOR—Lift the handset. If you don’t hear a dial tone,  
check telephone line cord connections at the FAX/MFC and wall jack. Check  
that the handset is connected to the FAX/MFC’s 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 SUPERFINE. (See Resolution, page

Send a manual fax by pressing Speaker PhoneOR—Lifting the handset,  
and dialing the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Start.  
Vertical Black Lines When Sending  
Use your FAX/MFC 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  
scanner’s white tape and the glass strip under the tape using isopropyl alcohol

Handling Incoming Calls  
Double Ring in FAX/TEL Mode  
The FAX/MFC knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signaling you to  
answer the telephone call. Pick up the FAX/MFC handset or answer from an  
extension phone and press your FAX/MFC’s Telephone Answer Code (default  
Transferring a Call to the FAX/MFC  
If you have answered the FAX/MFC handset, press 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/MFC answers, hang up.  
FAX/MFC “Hears” Voice as CNG Tone  
If your FAX/MFC is set to Easy Receive ON, and it answers voice calls by  
trying to receive a fax, try turning Easy Receive to OFF. (See Easy Receive,  
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, Caller ID, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Ring Master, Voice  
Mail, an answering machine, alarm system or any other custom feature on a  
single phone line with your FAX/MFC, it may create a problem sending or  
receiving fax data.  
Example #1:  
If you are having a telephone conversation and a fax communication  
signal comes through on your Call Waiting Caller ID feature, you can  
verify that the second call is a fax by switching to it. You have the option  
to receive the fax call, by asking the first caller to hang up to clear the line.  
Example #2:  
If you are sending or receiving a fax message while a Call Waiting Caller  
ID (or other custom feature) signal comes through on the line, the signal  
can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the fax data. Brother’s ECM feature  
should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the  
telephone system industry, and is common to all devices that send and  
receive information on a single, shared line with custom features. If  
avoiding a slight interruption is crucial to your business, a separate line  
with no custom features is recommended.

Scanning a Document  
®
The Brother Multi-function Link software includes a TWAIN compliant scanner  
driver. TWAIN drivers meet the standard universal protocol for communicating  
between scanners and software applications. This means that not only can you scan  
images directly into the PaperPort viewer that Brother included with your MFC, but  
you can also scan images directly into hundreds of other software applications that  
support TWAIN scanning. These applications include popular programs like Adobe  
Photoshop, Adobe Pagemaker, Corel Draw and many more.  
®
To choose the Brother Multi-function Link as your scanner driver, select it under the  
“Select scanner” or “Select source” option in your software.  
Scanning Options  
®
When you scan using the Brother Multi-function Link Scanner driver, a scanning  
options dialog box will appear:  
Brother Serial MFC

Status:

Scan

Set the following options based on each document to be scanned, then click the SCAN  
button to start scanning.  
Resolution  
You can choose one of three resolutions, 200 DPI STD, 200 DPI FINE, or 400 DPI  
S.FINE. The higher the number of dpi (dots per inch), the clearer the image will  
appear on your PC. However, the size of the image file increases with the dpi. Try  
scanning at different resolutions to determine the best resolution for your needs.

into a multifunction center, by enabling you to use your fax machine as a printer and  
a scanner and to use it to fax messages from Windows applications in your computer.

Multi-function Link is available at most Brother retailers. If you cannot find it, you  
®
can order Multi-function Link directly from Brother. The item number is PCI-1.  
Installation instructions will be included with PCI-1. However, it is important that you  
hook up your fax machine to your computer before you install the software.
