Up to 50 sheets of 80 g/m2 A4 paper.
Store paper in its original packaging and
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and
away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat.
Transparencies and photo paper must be
picked up from the output paper tray cover
one page at a time to avoid smudging.
Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of
photo paper. Load photo 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.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or
irregularly shaped paper

Telephone Service
6
Note
To get the Caller ID service, you have
to apply for it at your local telephone
company.
The caller ID feature of this machine lets you
use the caller ID subscriber service offered by
certain telephone companies.
FSK and DTMF are the two modes for
displaying your calls.
Caller ID (Caller IDentification)
(not available in certain area)
Please ask your local telephone
company for whether your mode is
FSK or DTMF.
6
If your local telephone company uses
DTMF mode, please switch your mode
as follows. Contact your local
telephone company or Brother dealer
in the case that the feature does not
work normally.
The Caller ID is a telephone service that
allows the subscriber to see a display of the
caller's phone number as the telephone rings.
It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can
respond quickly to calls you missed, because
caller IDs are received and stored in your fax
machine memory. Besides the standard
Caller ID feature, you can also select a single
caller's phone number and call back.
Caller ID feature is not available in the
following situation:
1 You have not applied for it at your local
telephone company.
2 The fax machine is connected to an
internal switchboard or other switch
device.
3 Due to the switchboard problems or
line problems of local telephone
companies, the feature may not work
in some areas.

1
6
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.
EXT.
LINE
EXT.
LINE

TAD
The TAD must answer within two 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.
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows Telephone.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the

Note
6
We recommend beginning your OGM with

has trouble receiving, then you must
re-record the OGM to include it.

Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our machines be

Although a particular PABX may appear to
work with a particular model of fax machine,
we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate
correctly.
When you are using a telephone on the same
phone line, the LCD shows Telephone.
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.
Brother does not recommend the use of a

cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.

Routine maintenance

Replacing the ink
cartridges
IMPORTANT
A
Brother multifunction machines are
designed to work with ink of a particular
specification and will work to a level of
optimum performance and reliability when
used with Brother Original ink cartridges.
Brother cannot guarantee this optimum
performance and reliability if ink or ink
cartridges of other specifications are
used. Brother does not therefore
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter automatically
monitors the level of ink in each of the
four cartridges. When the machine detects an
ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine
will display a message on the LCD.
recommend the use of cartridges other
than Brother Original cartridges or the
refilling of used cartridges with ink from
other sources. If damage is caused to the
print head or other parts of this machine
as a result of using incompatible products
with this machine, any repairs required as
a result may not be covered by the
warranty.
Note
For example, when one of the ink
cartridges is nearly empty, the LCD will
display Ink low(name of color).
You should purchase a replacement
cartridge in preparation for when the
machine indicates the color is completely
empty.
When one of the ink cartridges is empty,
the LCD will display Cannot Printor
B&W Print Only.
a Open the ink cartridge cover.
If one or more of the ink cartridges have
reached the end of their life, the LCD
shows B&W Print Onlyor
Cannot Print.
You should only replace the actual ink
cartridge when this message
Cannot Printor B&W Print Only
appears on the LCD.
The LCD will show 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 tells you to replace
an ink cartridge, 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.
CAUTION
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with
water at once and call a doctor if you are
concerned.
50
Routine maintenance
b Press the lock release lever as shown to
release the cartridge indicated on the
LCD. Remove the cartridge from the
machine.
d Turn the green release lever on the

e Each color has its own correct position.
Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of
the arrow on the label.
51
f Gently push the back of the ink cartridge
marked “PUSH” until it clicks, and then
close the ink cartridge cover.
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT take out 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 gets on your skin or clothing
immediately wash it off with soap or
detergent.
• If you mix the colors by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the
print head several times after correcting
the cartridge installation.
g The machine will automatically reset the
ink dot counter.
• 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.
Note
• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for
example Black, the LCD may ask you to
verify that it was a brand new one (for
example, Did You Change Black).
For each new cartridge you installed,
press 1 (Yes) to automatically reset the
ink dot counter for that color. If the ink
cartridge you installed is not a brand new
one, be sure to press 2 (No).
• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink
cartridge; this can cause the ink to leak out
of the cartridge.
• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridgeor
Cannot Detectafter you install the ink
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges
are brand new Original Brother and that
they are installed correctly.

Handling Incoming Calls
Difficulty
Suggestions
The machine “hears” a voice as a
CNG Tone.
If Fax Detect is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may
mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling
and respond with fax-receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing
Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect to Off.
Sending a fax call to the machine. If you answered on an extension or external telephone, press your Remote
Activation Code (the factory default is l 5 1). If you answered on an external
telephone, press Start to receive the fax. When your machine answers, hang up.
Custom features on a single line.
If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, 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 (Error
Correction Mode) 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 telephone line with no
custom features is recommended.
Copying Difficulties
