About paper
The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the
machine.
To get the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always
set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper,
transparencies and envelopes.
We recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large
quantities.
For best results, use the recommended paper.
■ When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper),
transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the
proper media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the
Paper Type setting of the menu (Menu/Set, 1, 2).
■ When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction
sheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first,
and then place the glossy paper on the instruction sheet.
■ When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each
sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.
■ Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately
after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and
may stain your fingers.
Recommended Paper
To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper.
(See table below.)
If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend
testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.
We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on
transparencies.

Handling and using special paper
■ Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the
paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
■ The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the
shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing
down.
■ Avoid touching either side of transparencies, because they
absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause
decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser
printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only
transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.
Do not use paper:
■ that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped
2 mm or

About fax machines
Custom features
Do you have BT’s Call Minder on the phone line?
If you have Call Minder on the phone line where you will install your
new machine, there is a strong possibility that Call Minder and the
machine may conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.
Why should there be problems?
Since both the machine and Call Minder 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 Call Minder is set to answer after two rings and your
machine is set to answer after four, Call Minder will stop your
machine from receiving faxes.
If you set Call Minder and the Brother 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 Call Minder nor
the 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 Call Minder choose an alternative service, which
Another way to avoid possible problems is to replace Call Minder
with an answering machine. Your Brother 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 machine sends fax calling tones
(CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds.
You’ll hear them after you dial and press Mono Start or
Colour Start and they will continue for about 60 seconds after
dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the
“handshake”, or connection, with the receiving machine.
Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are
sending CNG tones over the phone line. You will 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 Receiving.
If your machine is set to the Fax Only mode, it will answer every call
automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up,
your machine will continue to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds,
and the LCD continues to show Receiving. To cancel receiving,
press Stop/Exit.
The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG
tones and the receiving machine’s “chirps” overlap. This must be for
at least 2 to 4 seconds, so both 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 dialled. 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.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check
a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects
errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that
had an error. ECM transmissions are only possible between fax
machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and
receive fax messages that are continuously being checked by the
machine.Your machine must have enough memory for this feature to
work.

Setting the Station ID
You should store your name or company name and fax number so
they print on all fax pages you send.
It is important that you enter the fax number in the internationally
standardised format, i.e. in accordance with the following strict
sequence:
■ The “+” (plus) character (by pressing
key)
■ Your Country Code (e.g. “44” for the United Kingdom, “41” for
Switzerland)
■ Your local area code minus any leading “0” (“9” in Spain)
■ A space
■ Your number on the local exchange, using spaces to aid
readability as appropriate.
As an example, if the machine is installed in the United Kingdom and
the same line is to be used for both fax and voice calls, and your
national telephone number is 0161 444 5555, then you must set the
fax and telephone number parts of your station ID as:

Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine.
You can use your machine to 'poll' other machines, or you can have
someone poll your machine.
Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to set up their fax
machines for 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.
Some fax machines do not respond to the Polling feature.
Secure Polling
Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and others from
falling into the wrong hands while the machine is set up for polling.
You can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax machine.
Anyone who polls to receive a fax must enter the polling secure code.

For example, perhaps you have stored ‘555’ on One-Touch key 1 and
‘7000’ on One-Touch key 2. If you press One-Touch key 1,
One-Touch key 2, and Mono Start or Colour Start, you will dial
‘555-7000’.
To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the
number with manual dialling using the dial pad.
For example, to change the number to 555-7001 you could press
One-Touch key 1 and then press 7001 using the dialling pad.
If you must wait for another dial tone or signal at any point in the
dialling sequence, store a pause there in the number by
pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a 3.5-second
delay.

Introduction
Even if your machine is not connected to your computer, you can
print photos directly from the digital camera media. Your Brother
machine includes five media drives (slots) for use with popular digital
camera media: CompactFlash®, SmartMedia®, Memory Stick®,
SecureDigital™, and xD-Picture Card™.
CompactFlash®
SmartMedia®
Memory Stick®
(Type I only)
SecureDigital™
xD-Picture Card™
The PhotoCapture Center™ feature lets you print digital photos from
your digital camera at high resolution to get photo quality printing.
■ miniSD™ can be used with miniSD™ adapter.
■ Memory Stick Duo™ can be used with Memory Stick Duo™
adapter.
■ Adapters are not included with the machine. Contact a third
party supplier for adapters.

PhotoCapture Center™ requirements
To avoid error conditions, please remember:
■ The DPOF file on the media card must be in a valid format.
■ The image file extension must be .JPG (Other image file
extensions .JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).
■ Walk-up PhotoCapture Center™ printing must be performed
separately from PhotoCapture Center™ operations using the PC.
(Simultaneous operation is not available.)
■ IBM Microdrive™ is not compatible with the machine.
■ The machine can read up to 999 files in a media card.
■ Use only Smart media cards with a 3.3v voltage rating.
When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the PhotoCapture Center™
will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have
been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed.
Your machine is designed to read media cards that have been
formatted by a digital camera.
When a digital camera formats a media card it creates a special
folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the
image data stored on a media card with your PC, we
recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created
by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files
to the media card we also recommend you use the same folder
your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same
folder the machine may not be able to read the file or print the
image.

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 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 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.

How to improve print quality
Cleaning the print head
To ensure good print quality, the machine will regularly clean the
print head. You can start the cleaning process manually if needed.
Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you get a horizontal line in
the text or graphics on your printed pages. You can clean Black only
or three colours at a time (Cyan/Yellow/Magenta), or all four colours
at once.
Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink
unnecessarily.
Caution
Do NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause
permanent damage and may void the print head’s warranty.

Whenever you transport the machine, use the packing materials that
came with your machine. If you do not pack the machine properly,
you could void your warranty.
Caution
It is important to allow the machine to ‘park’ the print head after a

Replacing the ink cartridges
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot
counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the 4
cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out
of ink, the machine will notify you with a message on the LCD.
The LCD will inform you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing.
Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the
correct order.
Even though the machine informs you that an ink cartridge is empty,
there will be a small amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridge. It is
necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from
drying out and damaging the print head assembly.

Caution
■ Do not remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them.
If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will
not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.
■ Do not touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink
may stain your skin.
■ If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent
immediately.
■ If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong colour position, you
must clean the print head several times before you start printing
(after correcting the cartridge installation) because the colours
were mixed.
■ Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use
it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink
cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge
package.
■ Do not dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause
the ink to leak out of the cartridge.
■ Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of
a particular specification and work to a level of optimum
performance when used with genuine Brother ink cartridges.
Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if ink or ink
cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not
therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine
Brother cartridges with this machine or the refilling of empty
cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the
print head or other parts of this machine as a result of the use of
ink or ink cartridges other than genuine Brother products due to
the incompatibility or lack of suitability of those products with this
machine, any repairs required as a result will not be covered by
the warranty.

Telephone services
BT Call Sign (For U.K. Only)
This machine feature lets you use the BT Call Sign subscriber
service which allows you to have at least two separate telephone
numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own
distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is
ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for
your machine.
Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate a second phone number (on the
same phone line) just for receiving faxes.
You can switch BT Call Sign off temporarily, then turn it back on.
When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this
function. This machine will automatically answer incoming calls
that use your new fax number.
When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, the receive mode
is set to Manualautomatically. Manualmode will not respond
to incoming telephone calls, since the number you use for
telephone calls will use the normal ring pattern.

Fax/Tel mode
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you are at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during
the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 between the pseudo/double
rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax,
send the call back to the machine by pressing 51.
Fax/Tel mode in the Power Save condition
For FAX-1840C and FAX-1940CN:
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode and pseudo/double-rings to
alert you to pick up a voice call, you can only answer by picking up
the machine’s handset.
If you answer before the machine answers with
pseudo/double-ringing, you can pick up the call at an external or
extension phone.
For FAX-1835C, MFC-3240C and MFC-3340CN:
Fax/Tel mode does not work in the power save condition. The
machine will not answer telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing.
If you are at an external or extension phone, lift the handset of the
extension phone and talk. If you hear fax tones, hold the handset
until Fax Detect activates your machine. If the other party says they
want to send you a fax, activate the machine by pressing 51.

Connecting an external telephone answering
device (TAD)
Sequence
You may choose to connect an additional answering device.
However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone
line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine
“listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine
takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG
tones, the 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 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 guide for recording your outgoing
message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your
external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay
setting on your external TAD.

Recording 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.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones
of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a
resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your
machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM
to include it.

Using extension telephones (For U.K. only)
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension
telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line,
in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is
straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to
why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most
obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile
transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order
to make an outgoing call. Additionally, Fax receive code may not
operate reliably in such a simple configuration.
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a
transmission at a pre-set time). This pre-set job may coincide with
someone picking up an extension handset.
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange
modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension
devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a
master/slave configuration (see fig. 2 on next page). In such a
configuration, this machine can always detect whether a telephone
is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line during that time. This
is known as “telephone off-hook detection.”
The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 on the next page,
and the recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure
2.
This new connection configuration can be arranged by contacting
BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer
or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply
explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a
normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be
inserted into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector
provided as part of the line cord assembly.

Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the 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 machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line
for the machine.
If the 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 machine to work with a PBX
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate properly 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, Call Waiting/Caller ID,
RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom
feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operation

Consumable items
Ink
The machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan
and Magenta ink cartridges that are separate from
the print head assembly.
Service Life of Ink
Cartridge
Standard Black - Approximately 500 pages at 5%
coverage
HIgh Yield Black - Approximately 900 pages at 5%
coverage
Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 400
pages at 5% coverage
The above figures are based upon the following
assumptions:
• Continuous printing at a resolution of 600 x 600
dpi in normal mode after installing new ink
cartridge;
• The printing frequency;
• The number of pages printed;
• Periodic, automatic, print head assembly cleaning
(Your machine will clean the print head assembly
periodically. This process will use a small amount
of ink); and,
• Ink remaining in cartridge identified as “empty”
(It is necessary to leave a small amount of ink in
the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and
damaging the print head assembly).
