1 Introduction Using this Guide Thank you for buying a Brother Multi-Function Center (MFC). Your MFC is simple to use, with LCD screen instructions to guide you through programming it. You can make the most of your MFC by reading through this Guide. Finding information All the chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find information about a specific feature or operation by checking the Index at the back of this Guide.
Control panel overview 1 Redial/Pause 5 Mode keys: Redials the last number you called. It also inserts a pause in quick dial numbers. PhotoCapture Lets you access the PhotoCapture Center™ mode. 2 Hook Copy Press before dialing if you want to make sure a fax machine will answer, and then press Mono Start or Colour Start.

Also lets you start a scanning operation (in colour or mono, depending on the scanning setting on your PC). < Stop/Exit Stops an operation or exits from the menu. A Navigation keys: Menu/Set The same key is used for Menu and Set operations. Lets you access the Menu to program and store your settings in the MFC. When using the speaker or during ringing in fax mode, you can press these keys to adjust the volume.
Turning the MFC to Power Save condition When the MFC is idle, you can turn it to Power Save condition by pressing the Power Save key. In Power Save mode, the MFC will receive telephone calls as normal. For further information on receiving faxes in the power save condition, please see the table on page 1-5. The delayed faxes that have been set up will be sent (MFC-410CN only). You can even retrieve faxes using Remote Retrieval if you are away from your MFC (MFC-410CN only).
Power Save Setting You can customize the machine’s Power Save key. The default mode is Fax Receive:On, so your machine can receive faxes or calls even when the machine is in Power Save mode. If you do not want your machine to receive faxes or calls, turn this setting to Fax Receive:Off. (See Turning the MFC to Power Save condition on page 1-4.) 1 2 3 4 Press Menu/Set, 1, 5. Press ▲ or ▼ to select Off (or On). Press Menu/Set. Press Stop/Exit.
Load documents Using the scanner glass You can use the scanner glass to fax pages of a book or one page at a time. Documents can be up to A4 size (21.6 to 29.7 cm). 1 Lift the document cover. Place documents face down on the Scanner Glass 2 3 Using the document guidelines on the left, center the document face down on the scanner glass. Close the document cover. If the document is a book or is thick, do not slam the cover or press on it.
About paper The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the MFC. 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.
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.

How to load paper, envelopes and post cards To load paper or other media 1 Pull the paper tray completely out of the MFC and remove the output paper tray. 2 Press and slide the paper side guide to fit the paper width. Paper Side Guide 3 Pull out the paper support and unfold the paper support flap. Paper Support Paper Support Flap Use the paper support flap for Letter, Legal and A4.
4 Fan the stack of paper well to avoid paper jams and mis-feeds. 5 Gently insert the paper into the paper tray print side down and the leading edge (top of the paper) in first. Check that the paper is flat in the tray and below the maximum paper mark. Maximum Paper Mark ■ Make sure the paper side guides touch the sides of the paper. ■ Be careful that you do not push the paper in too far; it may lift at the back of the tray and cause feed problems.
To load envelopes ■ Use envelopes that weigh from 75-95 g/m2. ■ Some envelopes require margin settings in the application. Make sure you do a test print first. To prevent possible damage to the feeding mechanism, do not use the types of envelopes shown below.
2 Insert the envelopes into the paper tray with the address side down and the leading edge (top of the envelopes) in first. Slide the paper side guide to fit the width of the envelopes. If you have problems when printing on envelopes, try the following suggestions: 1 Open the envelope flap. 2 Make sure the open flap is either to the side of the envelope or to the back edge of the envelope when printing. 3 Adjust the size and margin in your application.
About fax machines Fax tones and handshake When someone is sending a fax, the MFC 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.
ECM (Error Correction Mode) The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the MFC 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 MFC. Your MFC must have enough memory for this feature to work.

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number or name if the name has stored in the One-Touch and Speed-Dial. Once you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display. ■ If Out of Area appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area or a public phone.
Viewing Caller ID List Caller ID memory stores information for up to thirty calls; when the thirty-first call comes in, information about the first call is erased. You can scroll through Caller ID information to review those calls made to your MFC. 1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 0, 4. Miscellaneous 4.Caller ID 2 Press ▲ or ▼ to select Display# and press Menu/Set.

Telephone Service for New Zealand FaxAbility FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring. How Will the Fax Machine Treat All Other Numbers? FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) number. When a call comes in to your main number, all the phones will ring.
How Does FaxAbility Work? Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while 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 phones 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.
How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON The FaxAbility function is designed to accommodate the FaxAbility service provided by Telecom. To change the setting, repeat Steps 1-3; Step 2 is where you can select either On or Off. Call Waiting beeps caused by incoming calls on your main number can affect fax transmissions. If you have FaxAbility Service but don’t have Call Waiting, you need do nothing at this stage. If you do have Call Waiting as well as FaxAbility, set the Call Waiting menu option to On. See below.
Caller ID (Caller IDentification) Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number and name if available as the telephone rings.

To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

Telephone Service for Some Countries Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong) This MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your MFC.
Caller ID (For Singapore and Hong Kong) The Caller ID feature of this MFC lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local phone companies.

Advanced receiving operations Operation from extension telephones If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external telephone into the correct socket on the MFC, you can make your MFC take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 51 ( 91 for New Zealand), the MFC starts to receive a fax. (See Fax Detect on page 4-4.
Using a cordless external handset If the base unit of your cordless telephone is connected (see page A-16) and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let the MFC answer first, you will have to go to the MFC so you can press Hook to transfer the call to the cordless handset. Changing the remote codes Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax Receive Code is 51 ( 91 for New Zealand).
Connecting an external device to your MFC Connecting an external telephone You can connect a separate telephone as shown in the diagram below. Extension Telephone External Telephone (Example for Australia) When you are using a TAD, the LCD shows Ext. Tel in Use.
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 MFC, the TAD answers all calls and the MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the MFC takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the MFC lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. TAD TAD (Example for Australia) When you are using a TAD, the LCD shows Telephone.
Connections The external TAD must be connected as shown above. 1 2 3 4 Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.) Record the outgoing message on your external TAD. Set the TAD to answer calls. Set the Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 4-1.) 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.
