About Fax Machines
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 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
Start
press
, 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 can 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
Stop
screen continues to display “RECEIVE.” To cancel the receiving mode, press
.
When your FAX/MFC is in FAX/TEL (F/T), it answers with a short beep. After this
beep, 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 two to four
seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving
the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG
tones only last for about 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.

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 machine near a telephone jack and a
standard, grounded power outlet.
Avoid placing your FAX/MFC 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 FAX/MFC 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 FAX/
MFC 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.

Connect the power cord
When you connect the power, the screen displays 01/01 00:00 FAX.
NOTICE:
1) This fax must be grounded using a 3-prong plug.
2) Since the FAX/MFC 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 FAX/MFC on when you connect it to a telephone
line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your ma-
chine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.

3) 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 telephone line and electrical cords during a
lightning storm.
Connect the telephone line
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the left
side of the FAX/MFC. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.
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 FAX/MFC must be plugged into an RJ11
jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may
contain 4 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 FAX/MFC.

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). Plug the FAX/MFC into Line 2 of
the triplex adapter.

Installing FAX/MFC, 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 FAX/MFC must be isolated on one line at both the
wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the FAX/MFC on
Line 2. 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 FAX/MFC and two for your external two-line
TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.
Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your FAX/MFC.
1
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your FAX/MFC into the L2 jack of
the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the left side of
the FAX/MFC.
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.

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 machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive
faxes any time of day or night.
See
Easy Receive
pp. 34-35
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.
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:
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circum-
stances 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 Your Phone Line
If you have 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/MFC.
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 4 rings (the recommended setting is 2 rings). The
FAX/MFC cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with 4
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. Do not use a “toll-saver” ring setting on the TAD.

I N S T A L L A T I O N
15
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your FAX/MFC and
TAD will both try to control the line.
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the FAX/MFC, into the jack labeled
EXT. Your FAX/MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack.
Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the FAX/
MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
1
Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the FAX/MFC,
in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the

TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)
Set your external TAD to 4 rings or less. (The FAX/MFC’s Ring Delay setting
does not apply).

Outgoing Message (OGM) on External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the way your
external TAD handles both manual and automatic fax reception.
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.)
1
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
2
End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for
people sending manual faxes. For example:
3
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 5 1.”
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 left side of the FAX/MFC.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays “EXT. TEL IN USE,”
and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the

We have designed your FAX/MFC with on-screen programming and a Help key.
User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions
your FAX/MFC has to offer.
Since your fax programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-
screen prompts to help you program your FAX/MFC. All you need to do is follow
the prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections and
programming options and settings.
Function Mode
You can access the function mode by pressing
Function
. When you enter the
function mode, your FAX/MFC displays a list of Level One Functions from which
you can choose. These function options appear one after the other on the display.
Set
Select an option by pressing when the option appears on the LCD.
You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing . When the screen
Set
displays your selection, press . (Use to scroll backward if you passed your
choice or to save key strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the opposite
order.)

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 a document in the feeder, that you can dial a number and
send a fax, or you can make a copy.
FAX: NO. & START

Before you begin:
I Documents must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide, and 5.9 and 23.7
inches long. Your FAX/MFC can only scan an image 8.2 inches wide,
regardless of how wide the paper is.
I Make sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.
I Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.
Paper guides
I The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding each
one individually through the FAX/MFC. Use standard (20 lb.) paper when
using the ADF; if you’re using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to
prevent paper jams.

Distinctive Ringing
This FAX/MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing 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 Ringing
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 Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one
phone number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions below
to “register” the Distinctive Ringing pattern, so your FAX/MFC can recognize its
incoming calls. You will need another person standing by on another line to help
you with Step 6 of this registration.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ringing 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.

if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears

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 FAX/MFC 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 function.

When Fax Forwarding is set to ON, your FAX/MFC dials the fax machine phone
number you’ve programmed, and forwards any faxes you’ve received.
You cannot use Paging and Fax Forwarding at the same time.

Message Center Pro
Message Center Pro works as an additional enhancement of Message Center and
provides you with Personal Mailbox and Voice-on-Demand. Up to five Personal
Mailboxes are available. Voice-on-Demand stores voice information messages for
someone calling you. These memory boxes allow you to store voice messages that
provide callers with more information automatically and effectively, so you don’t
have to answer the call yourself.
Start with a Plan
Before you can record your outgoing messages (OGMs), you need a plan. Decide
what you will store in each Voice Information memory box such as directions to
your home or business, and the number you will give it. Choose who will have a
personal mailbox. Tell each person with a personal mailbox to prepare to record
an OGM and choose a four-digit password.
Prepare one 2nd Level OGM that identifies the type of information in each Voice
Information memory box number and another 2nd Level OGM that identifies the
name and box number of each person with a Personal Mailbox.
Finally, prepare a 1st Level OGM that identifies your company (or family) and
directs callers to either Voice-on-Demand (Voice Information) or Personal
Mailboxes. Also explain they can just leave a general voice message or send a
general fax after the beep.

I Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the
call before hanging up.
I 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 Registra-
tion 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.

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 network, the telephone company may discon-
tinue 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, opera-
tions 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 FAX/MFC, please contact Brother Customer
Service 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.

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, Aldus 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:

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.
Contrast
To have the scanner adjust the contrast automatically, choose Auto. If your
original is too light, set the contrast to Light. If the original is too dark, set the
contrast to dark.
Image Type
If you are scanning text or black and white line art, choose Text as the image
type. If you’re scanning a photo or detailed picture with many different colors,
choose Photo as the image type.
Scanning into the PaperPort Viewer
To scan into the PaperPort viewer that was provided with your MFC, run the
PaperPort viewer program and then select the SCAN button on the top of the
screen
or select ACQUIRE from the File pull-down menu.

For FAX 1570MC
If you have a FAX 1570MC you can purchase the optional Multi-Function Link
package (also called “Missing Link”). Multi-Function Link turns your fax
machine 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.
