IMPORTANT  
The machine is designed to work well with  
most types of xerographic and bond paper.  
However, some paper variables may have an  
effect on print quality or handling reliability.  
Always test samples of paper before  
Some types of paper may not perform well  
or may cause damage to your machine.  
DO NOT use paper:  
• that is highly textured  
purchasing to ensure desirable performance.  
Store paper in its original packaging and keep  
it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from  
moisture, direct sunlight and heat.  
• that is extremely smooth or shiny  
• that is curled or warped  
Some important guidelines when selecting  
paper are:  
1
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may  
cause a paper jam or damage your  
machine.

Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).  
• that is coated or has a chemical finish  
• that is damaged, creased or folded  
If you use bond paper, paper having a  
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or  
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded  
performance.

Envelopes  
2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers  
will be suitable for your machine. However,  
some envelopes may have feed and print-  
quality problems because of the way they  
have been made. A suitable envelope should  
have edges with straight, well-creased folds  
and the leading edge should not be thicker  
than two sheets of paper. The envelope  
should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy  
construction. You should buy quality  
envelopes from a supplier who understands  
that you will be using the envelopes in a laser  
machine.  
• with glue on surface as shown in figure  
below

with double flaps as shown in figure below  
Envelopes can be fed from the manual feed  
slot one at a time. We recommend that you  
print a test envelope to make sure the print  
results are what you want before you print or  
purchase a large quantity of envelopes.

Labels  
2
Types of labels to avoid  
2
The machine will print on most types of labels  
designed for use with a laser machine. Labels  
should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based  
since this material is more stable at the high  
temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives  
should not come in contact with any part of  
the machine, because the label stock may  
stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause  
jams and print quality problems. No adhesive  
should be exposed between the labels.  
Labels should be arranged so that they cover  
the entire length and width of the sheet. Using  
labels with spaces may result in labels  
peeling off and causing serious jams or print  
problems.  
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,  
wrinkled or an unusual shape.  
IMPORTANT  
• DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The  
exposed carrier sheet will damage your  
machine.  
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper  
weight specifications described in this  
User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this  
specification may not feed or print  
correctly and may cause damage to your  
machine.  
All labels used in this machine must be able  
to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees  
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a  
period of 0.1 seconds.  
• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have  
previously been used or are missing few  
labels on the sheet.  
Do not feed a label sheet through the  
machine more than one time.

Distinctive Ring is a function of your Brother  
machine that allows a person with one line to  
receive fax and voice calls through two  
different phone numbers on that one line.  
Brother uses the term “Distinctive Ring”, but  
telephone companies market the service  
under a variety of names. This service  
establishes a second telephone number on  
the same line as your existing telephone  
number, and each number has its own ring  
pattern. Typically, the original number rings  
with the standard ring pattern and is used for  
receiving voice calls, and the second number  
rings with a different ring pattern and is used  
for receiving faxes. Only one call can be  
answered (or made) at any one time and

Your telephone number will have the

the new number will have a ring pattern of  
long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is  
On, you will not hear the first ring of all  
incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension  
telephones will ring as usual. If the fax  
machine recognizes the ring pattern, all  
ringing will stop and the fax machine will  
answer and automatically receive the fax  
message. Otherwise, you will hear the  
extension telephones and the fax machine  
continue to ring. The fax machine always  
listens to the ring pattern before it answers,  
so do not pick up the telephone during that  
time. You will quickly learn to recognize the  
ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be  
tempted to answer that number. Either you or  
a telephone answering device can answer  
the main number(s).

Recording an outgoing  
message (OGM)

a Record 5 seconds of silence at the  
beginning of your message. This allows  
your machine time to listen for fax tones.  
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.  
c End your 20-second message by giving  
your Remote Activation code for people  
sending manual faxes. For example:  
“After the beep, leave a message or  
press l51 (l91 for New Zealand) and  
Start to send a fax.”  
Note  
• You need to turn the Remote Codes  
setting to on to use the Fax Activation  
Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand). (See  
• We recommend beginning your OGM with  
an initial 5 second silence because the  
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud  
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,  
but if your machine has trouble receiving  
faxes, then you should re-record the OGM  
to include it.  
Multi-line connections (PABX)  
6
Most offices use a central telephone system.  
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC  
machines be connected to a discreet  
(dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX  
may appear to work with a particular model of  
fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the  
unit will operate correctly.  
While it is often relatively simple to connect a  
fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic  
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you  
contact the company that installed your  
telephone system and ask them to connect  
the fax machine for you.

As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur and consumable items may need to be  
replaced. If this happens, your machine identifies the error or required routine maintenance and  
shows the appropriate message. The most common error and maintenance messages are shown  
below.  
You can clear most errors and perform routine maintenance messages by yourself. If you need  
more help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips:

problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine.  
If the problem continues, call your dealer for service.  
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.

Troubleshooting  
Receiving Faxes  
Difficulties  
Suggestions  
Cannot receive a fax.  
Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing the Hook or Hook/Hold key.  
If you hear static or interference on your fax line, please contact your local  
telephone company.  
Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into  
the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to  
DSL or VoIP services, please contact your service provider for connection  
instructions.  
Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode. This is determined by the  
external devices and telephone subscriber services you have on the same line as  
the Brother machine. (See Receive Mode settings on page 30.)  
If you have a dedicated fax line and want your Brother machine to automatically  
answer all incoming faxes, you should select Fax Onlymode.  
If your Brother machine shares a line with an external answering machine, you  
should select the External TADmode. In External TADmode, your Brother  
machine will automatically receive incoming faxes and voice callers will be able to  
leave a message on your answering machine.  
If your Brother machine shares a line with other telephones and you want it to  
automatically answer all incoming faxes, you should select the Fax/Telmode. In  
Fax/Telmode, your Brother machine will automatically receive faxes and  
produce a fast double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls.  
If you do not want your Brother machine to automatically answer any incoming  
faxes, you should select the Manualmode. In Manualmode, you must answer  
every incoming call and activate the machine to receive faxes.  
Another device or service at your location may be answering the call before your  
Brother machine answers. To test this, lower the ring delay setting:  
If the answer mode is set to Fax Onlyor Fax/Tel, reduce the ring delay to  
2 rings. (See Ring Delay on page 30.)  
If the answer mode is set to External TAD, reduce the number of rings  
programmed on your answering machine to 2.  
If the answer mode is set to Manual, DO NOT adjust the ring delay setting.  
Have someone send you a test fax:  
B
If you received the test fax successfully, your machine is operating properly.  
Remember to reset your ring delay or answering machine setting back to your  
original setting. If receiving problems recur after resetting the ring delay, then  
a person, device, or subscriber service is answering the fax call before the  
machine has a chance to answer.  
If you were not able to receive the fax, then another device or subscriber  
service may be interfering with your fax reception or there may be a problem  
with your fax line.

Custom features on a single line.  
If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID, Voice Mail, an  
answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single  
telephone 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 line with no custom features is recommended.

Troubleshooting  
Setting Dial Tone detection  
B
Telephone line interference  
B
When you send a fax automatically, by  
default your machine will wait for a fixed  
amount of time before it starts to dial the  
number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to  
Detectionyou can make your machine dial  
as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting  
can save a small amount of time when  
sending a fax to many different numbers. If  
you change the setting and start having  
problems with dialling you should change  
back to the default No Detectionsetting.  
If you are having difficulty sending or  
receiving a fax due to possible interference  
on the telephone line, we recommend that  
you adjust the Equalization for compatibility  
to reduce the modem speed for fax

Improving the print quality  
B
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 4, 2, 3). If the printout looks good,  
the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a  
different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem,  
check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart  
below and follow the recommendations.  
Note  
Brother does not recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother Original  
cartridges or the refilling of used cartridges with toner from other sources.  
a To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you use  
paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other print media  
b Check that the drum unit and toner cartridge are installed properly.
