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

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

How can you avoid possible
problems?
About fax machines
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
alternative service, which is called
“Distinctive Ring”, and they are very satisfied
with it.
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.

do, you may send and receive fax messages

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.

Handling and using special
paper
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
purchasing to ensure desirable performance.
Some important guidelines when selecting
paper are:
Some types of paper may not perform well
or may cause damage to your machine.
Do not use paper:
■ that is highly textured
■ that is extremely smooth or shiny
■ that is curled or warped
■ that is coated or has a chemical finish
■ that is damaged, creased or folded
■ Supplier should be informed that the
paper or envelopes will be used in a color
laser machine.
■ that exceeds the recommended weight
specification in this guide
■ Preprinted paper must use inks that can
withstand the temperature of the

■ If you have selected a cotton bond paper,
paper having a rough surface, such as
cockle or laid finished paper or paper that
is wrinkled or puckered, the paper may
exhibit degraded performance.

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 pieces 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.
■ Before you print a lot of envelopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are
what you want.
2
■ Envelope joints that are sealed by the
manufacturer should be secure.
■ Do not put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
■ For proper printing, you must choose the
same paper size from your software
application as the paper in the tray.
Envelopes can only be fed from Tray#1.
Note
■ We recommend that you do not print
within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of
envelopes.
Brother will not recommend a particular
envelope because envelope manufacturers
may change the envelope specifications. You
are responsible for the quality and
performance of the envelopes you use.
Before you put envelopes in the tray, check
the following:
■ Envelopes should have a lengthwise
sealing flap.
■ The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or folded
envelopes may cause paper jams).
■ Envelopes should consist of two layers of
paper in the area circled in Figure 1.

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

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.

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.
You can connect a separate telephone to
your machine as shown in the diagram below.
Connect the telephone line cord to the jack

Sequence
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.

Chapter 3
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.

Sometimes you may want to choose from

the time and destination. To take advantage
of low rates, you can store the access codes
or long-distance carriers and credit card

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.
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.
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.

If you have a Pulse dialing service, but need
to send Tone signals (for example, for
telephone banking), follow the instructions
below. If you have Touch Tone service, you

Please call your telephone company for

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.
Transmission Verification Report

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,

If you frequently get transmission errors due to possible interference on the phone
line, try changing the Compatibility setting to Normalor Basic.
Vertical black lines when sending. If the copy you made shows the same problem, your scanner is dirty.
Handling Incoming Calls
Machine ‘Hears’ Voice as CNG
Tone.
If Easy Receive is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may
mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a calling fax machine
and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing
Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Easy Receive to Off.
Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an external or extension phone, press your Fax Receive Code
(default setting is ( 51). When your machine answers, hang up.
Custom features on a single line.
If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice Mail, an
answering machine, 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: Your Brother machine handles the Caller ID subscriber service.
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
