LIMITED WARRANTY  
(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 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.)

INCLUDING,  
WITHOUT  
LIMITATION,  
ANY  
IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR 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.  
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights  
which vary from Providence to Providence.

WARNING  
After you use the machine, some  
internal parts are extremely HOT!  
To prevent injures, be careful not to  
put your fingers in the area shown in  
the illustration.  
The fuser unit is marked with a caution label. Please do not  
remove or damage the label.  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. Never touch telephone wires or  
terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the  
walljack. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install a telephone wall  
jack in a wet location.  
This product must be installed near an AC power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of an  
emergency, you must disconnect the power cord from the AC power outlet to shut off the  
power completely.  
To reduce the risk of shock or fire, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line  
cord.  
Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean up scattered toner. Doing this might cause the toner dust  
to ignite inside the vacuum cleaner, potentially starting a fire. Please carefully clean the toner  
dust with a dry, lint-free cloth and dispose of it according to local regulations.  
DO NOT use flammable substances near the machine. Doing this might cause a fire or electrical  
shock.  
CAUTION  
Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection  
device on the AC power line and on the telephone line, or unplug the cords during a lightning storm.

CAUTION  
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area.  
Do not place the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators.  
Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.  
Do not connect your machine to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic  
timers.  
Disruption of power can wipe out information in the machine’s memory.  
Do not connect your machine to an AC power outlet 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.

Introduction  
How can you avoid possible  
problems?  
About fax machines  
1
A very good way to avoid problems like the  
one mentioned, is to get a second phone  
number on your present phone line.  
Custom features  
Do you have Voice Mail on the phone  
line?  
Many people with Voice Mail choose an  
additional subscriber service “Distinctive  
Ring”, which allows you to use more than one  
number on your line, so both Voice Mail and  
your machine can work together.  
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line  
where you will install your new machine,  
there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail  
and the machine may conflict with each other  
while receiving incoming calls.  
Another way to avoid possible problems is to  
replace Voice Mail with an answering  
machine. Your Brother machine is designed  
to work with an answering machine or TAD  
(telephone answering device).  
Why should there be problems?  
Since both the 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 Voice Mail is set to answer  
after two rings and your machine is set to  
answer after four, Voice Mail will stop your  
machine from receiving faxes.  
If you set Voice Mail 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 Voice Mail nor the machine can pass  
the call back to the other after the call has  
been answered.

Chapter 1  
Fax tones and handshake  
ECM (Error Correction Mode)  
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 Start and they will continue for  
about 60 seconds after dialing. During that  
time, the sending machine must begin the  
“handshake” or connection with the receiving  
machine.  
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.  
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.  
If this feature stops working, delete your  
faxes from the memory.  
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 dialed.  
So it is important for the receiving machine to  
answer the call in as few rings as possible.

Delayed Fax  
Delayed Batch Transmission  
During the day you can store up to 50 faxes  
in the memory to be sent within 24 hours.  
These faxes will be sent at the time of day you  
enter in Step 4.  
Before sending the delayed faxes, your  
machine will help you economize by sorting  
all the faxes in the memory by destination and  
scheduled time. All delayed faxes that are  
scheduled to be sent at the same time to the  
same fax number will be sent as one fax to  
save transmission time.

sequences by dividing them and setting them  
up on separate One-Touch and Speed Dial  
numbers in any combination. You can even  
include manual dialing using the dial pad.  
Tone or Pulse  
(For Canada only)  
If you have a Pulse dialing service, but need

1 Lift the handset.  
2 Press #. Any digits dialed after this will  
send tone signals.  
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 Start, you will  
dial ‘555-7000’.  
When you hang up, the machine will  
return to the Pulse dialing service.  
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 could press One-Touch key 1  
and then press 7001 using the dial pad.

its memory. The LCD will show the number of  
stored faxes received, for example:  
In the event of a power failure, the  
MFC-7225N will store your faxes in

The REN is used to determine the number of  
devices that may be connected to a telephone line.  
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in  
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming  
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs  
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the  
number of devices that may be connected to a line,  
as determined by the total RENs, contact the local  
telephone company. For products approved after  
July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of

SUGGESTIONS  
Printing or Receiving Faxes  
Condensed print and horizontal  
streaks or the top and bottom of  
sentences are cut off.  
You probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone  
line. Ask the other party to send the fax again. If there is still a problem, call Brother  
Customer Service at 1-800-284-4329 (in USA) or 1-877-BROTHER (in Canada).  
Poor print quality  
Vertical black lines when receiving Sometimes you may see vertical streaks/black lines on the faxes you receive.  
Your machine’s primary corona wire may be dirty, or the sending party’s fax  
scanner may be dirty. Clean your primary corona wire (See Cleaning the corona  
wire on page 11-24), or 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 (in USA) or  
1-877-BROTHER (in Canada).  
Horizontal streaks; lines are  
missing.  
You may get a fax with horizontal streaks or with missing lines. Usually this is  
caused by a poor telephone connection. Ask the other party to send the fax again.  
Received faxes appear as split or  
blank pages.  
If the received faxes are divided and printed on two pages or if you get an extra  
blank page, your Paper Size setting may not be correct for the paper you are  
using. (See Setting the Paper Size on page 2-4.) Make sure that auto reduction  
Phone Line or Connections  
Dialing does not work.  
Check for a dial tone. Change Tone/Pulsesetting. (See Tone or Pulse (For  
Canada only) on page 5-4.) Check all line cord connections and that the curled  
handset cord is not in the EXT jack. Check power cord connection. Send a manual  
fax by pressing Hook/Hold or by lifting the handset of the external phone and  
dialing the number. Send a manual fax by lifting the handset and dialing the  
number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Start.  
The machine does not answer  
when called.  
Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup. (See Basic  
sending operations on page 3-4.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your  
machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord  
connection. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone  
company to check the line.  
Sending Faxes  
Poor fax send quality  
Change your resolution to Fineor S.Fine. Make a copy to check your machine’s  
scanner operation. If the copy quality is not good, clean the scanner. (See

SUGGESTIONS  
Transmission Verification Report  
says ‘RESULT:NG’ or  
‘RESULT:ERROR’.  
There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again.  
If you send a PC FAX message and get ‘RESULT:NG’ on the Transmission  
Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To gain extra memory,  
you can turn off Fax Storage (See Turning off Remote Fax Options on page 6-4),  
print fax messages in memory (See Printing a fax from the memory on page 4-5)  
or cancel a Delayed Fax or Polling Job (See Canceling a fax in progress on page  
3-8). If the problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your phone  
line.  
If you frequently get transmission errors due to possible interference on the phone  
line, try changing the Compatibility setting to Basic. (See Compatibility on page  
11-20.)

For Example: Your Brother machine handles the Caller ID subscriber services.  
However, if you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and its  
signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax, the  
signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Brother’s ECM feature should  
help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone system  
industry and is common to all devices that send and receive information on a  
single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight interruption is crucial  
to your business, a separate line with no custom features is recommended.

in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should  
straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and  
put it back into the paper tray. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and  
then try again. Check that the manual feed mode is not selected in the printer  
driver.

CAUTION  
When removing the drum unit, handle it  
carefully because it contains toner. If toner  
scatters and your hands or clothes get  
dirty, immediately wipe or wash it off with  
cold water.  
Note  
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is  
necessary to replace it periodically. There are  
many factors that determine the actual drum  
life, such as temperature, humidity, type of  
paper and how much toner you use for the  
number of pages per print job. The estimated  
drum life is up to 12,000 pages. The actual  
number of pages your drum will print may be  
significantly less than these estimates.  
CAUTION  
To prevent damage to the printer from  
static electricity, do not touch the  
electrodes shown below.  
Because we have no control over the many  
factors that determine the actual drum life, we  
cannot guarantee a minimum number of  
pages that will be printed by your drum.

What does Brother’s ‘Distinctive Ring’  
do?  
Setting up telephone  
services  
Your machine supports the Distinctive Ring  
and Caller ID subscriber telephone services  
that some telephone companies offer.  
The Brother 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.  
Note  
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call  
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an  
answering service, an alarm system or  
other custom features on your telephone  
line, it may affect the way your machine  
Note  
You must pay for your telephone company’s  
Distinctive Ring service before you program  
the 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 machine on, there is  
a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the  
machine will conflict with each other while  
receiving incoming calls. However, the  
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 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.  
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring  
service from the telephone company, you will  
need to follow the directions on next page to  
‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern  
they give you. This is so your machine can  
recognize its incoming calls.  
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.  
Note  
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.  
Note  
Please call your telephone company for  
availability and rates.

Before you choose the ring pattern to  
register  
Registering the Distinctive Ring  
pattern  
You can only register one Distinctive Ring  
pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns  
cannot be registered. The ring patterns below  
are supported by your Brother machine.  
Register the one your telephone company  
gives you.  
Very important!  
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature  
to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual  
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or  
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring  
number, Manualmode means you must  
answer all the calls yourself. You can not  
change the receive mode to another mode  
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

You may choose to connect an external  
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.  
Remote Codes might not work with some  
telephone systems.

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  
featureonyour external answeringmachineif  
it exceeds five rings.  
Improper Setup  
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring,  
do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the  
same phone line.  
TAD  
TAD  
Note  
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce  
the Ring Delay setting on your external  
TAD.  
If You Subscribe to your Telephone  
Company’s Distinctive Ring Service:  
You may connect an external TAD to a  
separate wall jack only if you subscribe to  
your telephone company’s Distinctive  
Ring service, have registered the  
distinctive ring pattern on your machine,  
and use that number as a fax number. The  
recommended setting is at least four rings  
on the external TAD when you have the  
telephone company’s Distinctive Ring  
Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver  
setting.  
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD  
shows Ext. Tel in Use.  
Connections  
The external TAD must be plugged into the  
back of the machine, into the jack labeled  
EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if  
you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you  
are using Distinctive Ring).  
If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive  
Ring Service:  
1 Plug the telephone line cord from the  
telephone wall jack into the back of the  
machine, in the jack labeled LINE.  
You must plug your TAD into the EXT.  
jack of your machine. If your TAD is  
plugged into a wall jack, both your  
machine and the TAD will try to control the  
phone line. (See illustration below.)  
2 Plug the telephone line cord from your  
external TAD into the back of the  
machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make  
sure this cord is connected to the TAD at  
the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not  
its handset jack.)  
3 Set your external TAD to four rings or  
less. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting  
does not apply.)  
4 Record the outgoing message on your  
external TAD.  
5 Set the TAD to answer calls.

Special line  
considerations  
Recording outgoing message (OGM)  
on an external TAD  
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.  
Timing is important in recording this  
message.  
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.)  
Your 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 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. Your machine will work best on a  
dedicated line.  
2 Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.  
3 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.”  
Two-line phone system  
Note  
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.  
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  
4-3.)

telephone next to your machine.  
2 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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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 triple adapter.  
4 Plug one end of the second telephone  
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of

You can keep two-line telephones on other

add a two-line telephone to the machine’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.  
Installing 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 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  
your machine and two for your external  
two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord  
if you add a two-line telephone.

Appendix A  
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 beregardedas 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 of your machine.
