Limitations:  
Brother is not responsible for damage to or  
loss of any equipment, media, programs or  
data related to the use of this Product. Except  
for that repair or replacement as described  
above, Brother shall not be liable for any  
direct, indirect, incidental or consequential  
damages or specific relief. Because some  
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation  
of consequential or incidental damages, the  
above limitation may not apply to you.  
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL  
OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR  
When a replacement Machine is authorized by  
Brother, and you have delivered the Machine  
to an Authorized Service Center, the  
Authorized Service Center will provide you  
with a replacement Machine after receiving  
one from Brother. If you are dealing directly  
with Brother, Brother will send to you a  
replacement Machine with the understanding  
that you will, after receipt of the replacement  
Machine, supply the required proof of  
purchase information, together with the  
Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You  
are then expected to pack the Machine that  
Brother agreed to replace in the package from  
the replacement Machine and return it to  
Brother using the pre-paid freight bill supplied  
by Brother in accordance with the instructions  
provided by Brother. Since you will be in  
possession of two machines, Brother will  
require that you provide a valid major credit  
card number. Brother will issue a hold against  
the credit card account number that you  
provide until Brother receives your original  
Product and determines that your original  
Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your  
credit card will be charged up to the cost of a  
new Product only if: (i) you do not return your  
original Product to Brother within five (5)  
business days; (ii) the problems with your  
original Product are not covered by the limited  
warranty; (iii) the proper packaging  
instructions are not followed and has caused  
damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty  
period on your original Product has expired or

DISCLAIMED.  
This Limited Warranty is the only warranty  
that Brother is giving for this Product. It is  
the final expression and the exclusive and  
only statement of Brother's obligations to  
you. It replaces all other agreements and  
understandings that you may have with  
Brother or its representatives.  
This warranty gives you certain rights and  
you may also have other rights that may  
vary from state to state.  
This Limited Warranty (and Brother's  
obligation to you) may not be changed in  
any way unless you and Brother sign the  
same piece of paper in which we (1) refer  
to this Product and your bill of sale date, (2)  
describe the change to this warranty and  
(3) agree to make that change.

BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER/FACSIMILE MACHINE  
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.)  
BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED  
INCLUDING,  
WITHOUT  
LIMITATION,  
ANY  
IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES  
OF  
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.  
Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centers throughout  
Canada. For Technical Support or for the name and location of your nearest  
Authorized Service Center call 1-877-BROTHER.

What does Brother's ‘Distinctive Ring’  
do?  
Telephone services  
7
7
Your machine supports the Caller ID and  
Distinctive Ring 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.  
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call  
Waiting/Caller ID, Ring Master, answering  
services, alarm systems or other custom  
features on one phone line may affect the  
way your machine works. If you have Voice  
Mail on your phone line, please read the  
following carefully.  
Note  
You must pay for your telephone  
company's Distinctive Ring service before  
you program the machine to work with it.  
Distinctive Ring  
7
Do you have Voice Mail?  
7
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.  
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.  
What does your telephone company's  
‘Distinctive Ring’ do?  
7
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.  
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.  
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.

Telephone Services and External devices  
• If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive  
Ring Service:  
Connecting anexternal  
TAD (telephone  
answering device)  
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.)  
7
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.  
1
1
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.  
7
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD  
shows Ext. Tel in Use.  
Connections  
7
Note  
• If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce  
the Ring Delay setting on your external  
TAD.  
The external TAD must be plugged 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 Subscribe to your Telephone  
company's Distinctive Ring Service:  
a Plug the telephone line cord from the  
telephone wall jack into the jack labeled  
LINE.  
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.  
b Plug the telephone line cord from the  
external TAD into 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.)  
c Set your external TAD to four rings or  
less. (The machine's Ring Delay setting  
does not apply.)

Roll over phone lines  
7
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.

External TAD. (See Choosing the  
Recording an outgoing  
message (OGM) on an

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 will be sent to  
a line that does not have a fax machine. Your  
machine will work best on a dedicated  
line.

Timing is important in recording this  
message. The message sets up the ways to  
handle both manual and automatic fax  
reception.  
a 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.)  
Two-line phone system  
7
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 mixed 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. (See Easy Receive on page 25.)  
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.  
c 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 l 5 1 and Start.’  
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.  
Converting telephone wall outlets  
7
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11  
jack. The first two ways may require help 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

7
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.  
Multi-line connections (PBX)

We suggest you ask the company who  
installed your PBX to connect your machine.  
If you have a multi line system we suggest  
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the  
last line on the system. This prevents the  
machine being activated each time the  
system receives telephone calls. If all

machine.  
We cannot guarantee that your machine will  
operate properly under all circumstances  
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties  
with sending or receiving faxes should be  
reported first to the company who handles  
your PBX.

If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Voice Mail, an alarm system or  
other custom feature on a single phone line with your machine, it may create a  
problem sending or receiving faxes.  
For example: 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 phone line with no custom features is  
recommended.

Replacing the ink cartridge  
B
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot  
counter. The ink dot counter automatically  
monitors the level of ink in the cartridge.  
When the machine detects an ink cartridge is  
running out of ink, the machine will tell you  
with a message on the LCD.  
Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace  
the ink cartridge in the correct order.  
Even though the machine tells you that an ink  
cartridge is empty, there will be a small  
amount of ink left 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.  
c Open the new ink cartridge bag, and  
then take out the ink cartridge.  
d Remove the protective yellow cap (1).

Ink  
The machine uses an individual Black ink cartridge that is separate  
from the print head assembly.  
Service Life of Ink  
Cartridge  
The first time you install the ink cartridge the machine will use extra  
ink to fill the ink delivery tubes. This is a one-time process that  
enables high quality printing. Afterward, replacement ink cartridge  
will print the specified number of pages.  
Replacement Ink Cartridges  
Standard Black - Approximately 500 pages at 5% coverage  
The above figures are based upon the following assumptions:  
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).
