1 1 CHAPTER ONE Introduction Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother Multi-Function Center (MFC). This MFC has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual. Additionally, your MFC has a Help Key. Press basic operational steps and functions.
2 C H A P T E R O N E Test Sheet Procedures (For USA Only) See Setting Station ID pp. 36–37 After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST SHEET included with your MFC and fax it to Brother’s Automated Fax Response System as your first transmission. This will verify that your MFC is properly installed. When this document is received, a confirmation sheet will be sent back to your MFC. In order to receive a response, be sure to set up your Station ID.
I N T RO D U C T I O N When your MFC answers in FAX/TEL mode, the MFC listens for CNG tones and then responds with receiving tones. The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax 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 40 seconds after the number is dialed.

2 C H A P T E R T W O MFC Setup and Connections Caution Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the product against lightning storms. Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for a wet location. Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S Choosing a Location Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the MFC near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 50°F and 95°F (10°–35°C). Avoid placing your MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators.
10 C H A P T E R T W O Assembly 1 Connect the handset. Connect the longer end of the curled handset cord to the MFC and the shorter end to the handset. 2 Connect the power cord. There is no ON/OFF switch. When you plug in the power cord, the power goes on and the screen alternately displays. SET CARTRIDGES OFFLINE PLS OPEN COVER OFFLINE 3 Connect the telephone line cord. Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack on the MFC and the other end to a modular wall jack.
M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S Caution ■ The MFC must be grounded using a 3-prong plug. ■ Since the MFC is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your MFC on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your MFC, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.
12 C H A P T E R T W O 6 Attach the paper tray to the paper output slot. Caution Please attach the Paper Tray to prevent paper jams and maintain print quality. Paper Output Slot Paper Tray 7 Attach the document tray.
M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S 8 Pull out the plastic extension of the document tray. Plastic Extension 9 Load paper in the multi-purpose sheet feeder (paper cassette). A Open the multi-purpose sheet feeder cover.
14 C H A P T E R T W O B Fan the paper well. Load the paper. Make sure the print side is toward you and the paper level is stacked below the paper guide line. Paper Guide Line C Adjust the guides to fit the paper width.
15 M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S Installing the Ink Cartridges 1 Check that you turned on the power (by plugging in the power cord). The screen alternately displays SET CARTRIDGES OFFLINE PLS OPEN COVER OFFLINE 2 Open the top cover by pulling it toward you. After a few seconds, the print head will move left to its replacement position. Top Cover 3 Open the ink cartridge covers by pressing the clips together as shown in the illustration.
16 C H A P T E R T W O 4 Remove the yellow shipping cover by lifting it up and out. Caution ■ The bottom of the yellow shipping cover is wet with ink that will cause stains, so wipe it clean before you place it down. Keep the yellow shipping cover in a safe place. You will need it in the future when you replace the print head. Yellow Shipping Cover We recommend that you install the ink cartridges from left to right in this order: Black, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta.
M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S 7 Each color has its own correct position. Gently insert the Black ink cartridge, matching the markings of the color indicators on the print head as a guide. Please be careful not to press down on the switch bar (see illustration) when inserting a cartridge. Switch Bar 8 Repeat Steps 5–7 to install each color ink cartridge. 9 Close the cartridge covers until they click into place.
18 C H A P T E R T W O 11 Press 1 on the dial pad for each color, as prompted (for initial setup only) within 1 minute. The MFC will enter a cleaning cycle for approximately 6 minutes. The screen alternately displays CLEANING BLACK and PLEASE WAIT. The ink dot counter will be set automatically for each color, so the MFC can warn you with an error message when ink is running low. Make sure paper is loaded in the cassette, then press Start within 1 minute.
M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S ■ Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package. ■ DO NOT refill the ink cartridges. Attempting to use refilled cartridges may cause damage to the print head and will void your warranty.
20 C H A P T E R T W O Converting Telephone Wall Outlets There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it. The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet.
M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S Triplex Adapter External Two Line TAD Two Line Phone Fax Machine You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the MFC’s wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.
22 C H A P T E R T W O Custom Features on a Single Line To learn how custom features may affect your faxing operations, please see the Troubleshooting and Maintenance chapter, p. 227. Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence Although the MFC 7160C has a built-in answering system, you can choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the MFC, the TAD answers all calls. The MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.
M F C S E T U P A N D C O N N E C T I O N S Connections The external TAD must be plugged into the back side of the MFC, into the jack labeled EXT. Your MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack. 1 Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back side of the MFC, in the jack labeled LINE. 2 Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the back side of the MFC, in the jack labeled EXT.
24 C H A P T E R T W O Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the fax, press Hook or Speaker Phone . The external telephone cannot be used while a function is being performed on the control panel.
3 CHAPTER THREE Paper The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in the MFC. You can use plain paper, coated paper, transparencies, glossy paper, organizer paper, and envelopes. We recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities. For best results, use Brother special coated paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. (See page ii for information about ordering Brother accessories).
26 C H A P T E R T H R E E ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Brother coated (ink jet) paper is coated only on one side. Make sure this whiter (coated) side is facing up toward you. Therefore, when loading paper in the paper cassette, make sure that the whiter side (the coated side) is facing up. The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Do not touch the shiny side. Load glossy paper in the feeder with the shiny side facing up toward you.
PA P E R ■ Curled or damaged paper may cause paper jams and misfeeds. If the paper is curled, straighten it as much as possible by rolling it in the opposite direction of the curl. ■ For optimum output quality, we recommend you use only genuine Brother paper. ■ If paper will not load from the feeder, try the manual feed slot. ■ For fax reception paper size, see page 45. Print Area The Print Area depends on the settings in the application you are using.
28 C H A P T E R T H R E E Do not use the following types of paper and envelopes: ■ Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper and envelopes ■ Extremely shiny or highly textured paper and envelopes ■ Envelopes with clasps ■ Envelopes of baggy construction ■ Envelopes not sharply creased ■ Embossed envelopes ■ Paper and envelopes already printed with a laser printer ■ Envelopes preprinted on the inside ■ Paper and envelopes that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked
4 29 CHAPTER FOUR On-Screen Programming User-Friendly Programming See Using This Manual p. 1 We have designed your Multi-Function Center with on-screen programming and a Help key. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions your MFC has to offer.
