1 Introduction 1 Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine. This machine has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through programming your machine. However, you can use your machine to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual. Additionally, your machine has a Reports Key. Press Reports, 1 to print a list of basic step instructions and explanations.
Test Sheet Procedure and Product Registration (For USA Only) After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST SHEET included with your machine and then fax it to Brother’s Automated Fax Response System as your first transmission. This will verify that your machine is properly installed. To receive a response, you must set up your Station ID. (See Setting Station ID, Page 4-3.) When this document is received, a confirmation sheet and Product Registration form will be sent back to your machine.
Control Panel Overview FAX-4750e and FAX-5750e have the same control panel keys. 2 3 1 13 14 15 16 12 4 5 6 7 8 1 Toner Empty Icon The Toner icon flashes on and off when toner is low, so you’ll know to order another toner cartridge. You will be able to print until the indicator stays on. 2 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Displays messages to help you set up and operate your machine. 3 Programming Keys: Menu Lets you access the Menu and Programming mode. Set Stores a menu setting in the machine.
8 Dial Pad Dials phone and fax numbers, and can be used as a keyboard for entering information into the machine. (For Canada only) The # key lets you switch the dialing type during a telephone call from PULSE to TONE. 9 Volume High/Low Keys Lets you adjust speaker, ring and handset volume. 0 Stop/Exit Stops a fax, cancels an operation or exits from Menu mode. A Fax Start Starts an operation, such as sending a fax.
About Fax Machines If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily. Custom Features Do You Have Voice Mail on the Phone Line? If you have Voice Mail on the phone line on which you will install your new fax machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.
Fax Tones and Handshake When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Fax Start; they continue for about 60 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line.
2 Assembly and Connections 2 Packing List Make sure you have the following items: Telephone Handset Drum Unit Assembly (With free Standard Toner Cartridge – up to 3,000 pages) Handset Curled Cord Power Cord Document Support Telephone Wire Cord Software License Agreement (For FAX-5750e Only) Document Tray with Extension Paper Cassette CD-ROM (For FAX-5750e Only) Owner’s Manual Note Quick Setup Guide Accessory Order Form Paper Cassette #2 (Option for FAX-4750e) If an item is missing, call Brot
Choosing a Location Place your machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Make sure nothing blocks the flow of air from the fan on the sides of the machine.
Assembly Installing the Drum Unit Assembly (with Toner Cartridge) 1 Unpack the drum unit assembly, including the toner cartridge, and gently rock it from side to side five or six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. To prevent damage to the drum, do not expose it to light for longer than a few minutes. 2 Open the front cover of the machine. 3 Insert the drum unit assembly into the machine. 4 Close the front cover.
Attaching the Trays 1 Attach the Document Support and Document Tray with Extension. Unfold the extension, which holds documents in place. Document Support Document Tray with Extension 2 Unfold the Front Output Bin Extension, which holds printed pages in place. Front Output Bin Extension Connecting Paper Cassette #2 (Option for FAX-4750e) 1 Carefully pick up the machine and place it on top of Paper Cassette #2.
2 Plug the modular cable from Cassette #2 into the modular jack on the Brother machine. To select which cassette will be used for printing, see Setting Cassette Usage, Page 4-2. If you move the machine after connecting Cassette #2, be sure to carefully lift Cassette #2 with the machine because they are not attached. Manual Feed Slot Use the manual feed slot to print or copy on envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stock or thicker paper: The manual feed slot is above the paper cassette.
Paper Acceptable Paper Paper Type Paper Size Paper Cassette cut sheet #1 & #2: Letter, Legal, A4, A5, ISO B5, Executive Manual Feed Slot: Letter, Legal, A4, A5, B5 (JIS/ISO), Executive, 2.75–8.5 × 4.
Manual Feed Slot Cut Sheet Envelopes Basis Weight: 16 to 43 lb. (60 to 161 g/m2) 20 to 24 lb. (75 to 90 g/m2) Caliper: 0.003 to 0.008 inches. (0.08 to 0.2 mm) 0.003 to 0.005 inches. (0.084 to 0.14 mm) Moisture Content: 4% to 6% by weight 4% to 6% by weight Fax messages can be received on only Letter, Legal and A4 size paper. If you use legal or A4, change the Paper Size setting: (Menu, 1, 1.) Loading Paper in Paper Cassette 1 Pull the paper cassette completely out of the machine.
3 Fan the paper well. Load paper in the paper cassette. Press down on the paper to flatten it in all four corners, keeping the paper level below the guide. The cassette can hold up to 250 sheets of 20 lb (75g/m2) paper. 4 Slide the paper cassette into the machine until it locks into place.
Connections Connecting the Machine Connect the handset, power cord, and telephone line. 1 Connecting the Handset Connect the curled handset cord to the bottom of the handset and the left side of the machine. 2 Connect the power cord. 3 Connect the telephone line. Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the left side of the machine. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack. WARNING ■ This machine must be grounded using a three-prong plug.
Connecting an External Telephone Your machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your machine. Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the left side of the machine. Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. 1 Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the machine in the jack labeled LINE. 2 Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the machine in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.) 3 Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply).
Special Line Considerations Roll Over Phone Lines 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. 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.
Installing Machine, External Two-Line TAD, and Two-Line Telephone 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 our assumption 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.
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. You can then leave the machine in FAX mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
3 On-Screen Programming 3 User-Friendly Programming We have designed your machine with on-screen programming and a Reports key. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections your machine has to offer.

Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers Sometimes you may want to choose from among several long distance carriers when you make a call. Rates may vary depending upon the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance carriers as One Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up separately in any combination. You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad.
8 Telephone Services 8 Custom Features Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone services offered by some telephone companies. If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, or on alarm system custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the operation of your machine. (See I have difficulty with custom features on a single line, Page 19-8.
Do You Have Voice Mail? If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you on which will install your new machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, this Distinctive Ring feature allows the use of more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the fax machine can coexist peacefully. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s work.
Very Important If you have Voice Mail, or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the machine in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring Feature. Here’s why: Manual mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral». When the machine is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring Feature can be activated. The distinctive ring feature is actually an answering mode.
