Using This Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine. This fax machine has been designed
to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions.
However, you can use your fax machine to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes
to read this manual.
Additionally, your fax machine 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 machine
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious.
You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send
and receive faxes easily.
I N T R O D U C T I O N
1 - 1
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. 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 machine is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every
call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax
machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues
to display “RECEIVE”. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop.
When your fax machine answers in FAX/TEL Mode, the fax machine 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
machine.
ECM (Error Correction Mode) (For FAX-335MC Only)
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.

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 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.

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
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.
If you are installing the fax machine 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.
Custom Features on a Single Line
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service, alarm
system or any other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in
the operation of your fax machine.

Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device
(TAD)
(TAD Cannot Be Connected in Some Countries)
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 “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 8–10 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 machine and
TAD will both try to control the line.

Set the Answer Mode to MC:MSG CTR. (For FAX-335MC only)
On the FAX-235 or FAX-236, set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.
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
machine 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 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 telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the
left side of the fax machine.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays 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 or Speaker Phone.
External Telephone can not be connected in some countries.

Basic Receiving Operations
Select Answer Mode
MANUAL—You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press Start to
begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with Distinctive Ringing.
FAX ONLY—The 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/TEL—The 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 F/T pseudo-ring, different
from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select this
setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following
TAD:ANSWER MACH. (For FAX-235/236 only)—This is the only setting in which
you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering device is
connected to your FAX, and answers every call. Once the TAD answers, the FAX
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 do
not work in this setting.
TAD can not be connected in some countries.
NIGHT (For FAX-235 and FAX-236)––This is the Night Mode setting. The fax
machine receives incoming fax calls without ringing. In case of a voice call, the fax
machine does not ring and it doesn’t receive the voice call. The caller hears fax tones
after few rings.
NIGHT (For FAX-335MC only)––If you set the receiving mode to Night,
MC ON/OFF button is automatically turned on. The fax machine receives incoming
fax calls without ringing. In the event of voice call, the incoming voice call is stored
in the message manager memory. As the ICM recording monitor (for call screening)
is automatically set to OFF, the user is not disturbed by the voice of the caller. In case
of memory full, the machine change to F/T mode if the machine still has paper. It
changes to Manual mode if it both memory full and out of paper.
If you have not recorded the Outgoing Message for Message Center mode (See
chapter 9), your fax machine does not receive the voice call.
Night mode overrides the receiving mode set by the user. In the morning, the user
must press Mode to manually revert to the Answer mode they have set (such as F/T
or FAX ONLY).

point before hanging up from the cordless phone, the call will be lost.
If nobody answers at the fax machine, pseudo-ringing stops after 30 seconds. In that
case, it may still be possible to speak with the caller from the cordless phone. Speech
between the fax machine and the cordless phone (= intercom) is not possible.

Custom Features
Your fax machine 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 machine. The Distinctive Ring and Caller ID feature may not
be available in certain area.
Distinctive Ring (For Singapore and Hong Kong)
This fax machine 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 machine.
Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to set Distinctive Ringing to ON.
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this function.
I The fax machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ringing number.
I To have your TAD answer only the main number, the fax machine must be in Manual
Mode.
I In FAX/TEL or FAX ONLY mode, the fax machine will answer all numbers on the
phone line.
I The first two rings are silent on the fax machine.

Caller ID (For Singapore and Hong Kong)
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 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 machine stores up to 10 (FAX-235 and FAX-236) or 30 (FAX-335MC) of
the last Caller IDs received into the fax machine’s memory in the Caller ID Log. When
the 11th (FAX-235 and FAX-236) or 31st (FAX-335MC) call comes in, information
