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

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  
is called “BT Call Sign”, and they are very satisfied with it. (See BT  
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).  
INTRODUCTION 1 - 19  
         
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.  
1 - 20 INTRODUCTION  
   
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:  
+44 161 444 5555.

PABX and TRANSFER  
The machine is initially set to be connected with PSTN (Public  
Switched Telephone Network) lines. However, many offices use a  
central telephone system or Private Automatic Branch Exchange  
(PABX). Your machine can be connected to most types of PABX.  
The machine’s recall feature supports timed break recall only (TBR).  
TBR will work with most PABX systems allowing you to gain access  
to an outside line, or transfer calls to another extension. The feature  
works when the R key is pressed.  
You can program a R keypress as part of a number stored  
in a One-Touch or Speed-Dial location. When programming  
the One-Touch or Speed-Dial number (Menu/Set 2-3-1 or  
2-3-2) press R first (the screen displays "!"), then enter the  
telephone number. If you do this, you do not need to press  
R each time before you dial using a One-Touch or

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.

Dialling options  
Access codes and credit card numbers  
Sometimes you may want to choose from several long distance  
carriers when you make a call. Rates may vary depending on the time  
and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the  
access codes or long-distance carriers and credit card numbers as  
One-Touch and Speed-Dial numbers. You can store these long  
dialling sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate  
One-Touch and Speed-Dial numbers in any combination. You can  
even include manual dialling using the dial pad. (See Storing  
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 Centerfeature lets you print digital photos from  
your digital camera at high resolution to get photo quality printing.  
miniSDcan be used with miniSDadapter.  
Memory Stick Duocan be used with Memory Stick Duo™  
adapter.  
Adapters are not included with the machine. Contact a third  
party supplier for adapters.  
WALK-UP PHOTOCAPTURE CENTER(MFC-3340CN ONLY) 10 - 1  
     
PhotoCapture Centerrequirements  
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 Centerprinting must be performed  
separately from PhotoCapture Centeroperations using the PC.  
(Simultaneous operation is not available.)  
IBM Microdriveis 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.

can correct this effect and bring the white areas back to pure  
white.  
Sharpness  
This setting enhances the detail of an image. It is similar to  
adjusting the fine focus on a camera. If the image is not in true  
focus and you cannot see the fine details of the picture, then  
adjust the sharpness.

If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Ring Master, BT’s Call

line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving  
faxes.  
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.

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

APPENDIX A A - 5  
       
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.

APPENDIX A A - 7  
   
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.  
A - 8 APPENDIX A  
   
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.

A - 10 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 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).
