1 C H A P T E R O N E Introduction Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother multifunction centre (MFC). This MFC is a 6 in 1 Multi-Function Centre: Colour Printer, Colour Copier, Colour Scanner, Plain Paper Fax, Colour PC Fax (via your PC) and Video Capture. 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.
2 CHAPTER ONE Symbols Used In This Manual Note or additional information. The MFC may be damaged or may not work correctly if this is not observed. Warning. Damage can result if this is not observed. About Fax Machines If you are a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. You will soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.
INTRODUCTION 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 dialled. Therefore, it is important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS NOTICE: â– The MFC must be fitted with an earthed plug. â– Since the MFC is earthed via the main plug, 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. When you want to move your MFC, protect yourself by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.
14 CHAPTER TWO 3 Open the ink cartridge cover by pinching the clip as shown in the illustration. Cartridge Cover Clips 4 Remove the yellow shipping cover by lifting it up and out. Yellow Shipping Cover We recommend that you install the ink cartridges from left to right in this order: Black, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta. Keep the yellow shipping cover in a safe place. You will need it in the future when you replace the print head. 5 Open the Black ink cartridge bag and remove the ink cartridge.
MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS Important To prevent spilling ink and staining your hands and clothing, remove the sealing tape gently and slowly. Do not touch the ink opening on the cartridge or the removed tape. Opening Peel in the direction away from you! 7 Each colour has its own correct position. Insert the Black ink cartridge, matching the colour of the cartridge covers. Please be careful not to push down the cartridge sensor shown in the right side of the illustration, when inserting a cartridge.
16 CHAPTER TWO 9 Close the cartridge covers until they click into place. 10 After installing all ink cartridges, close the scanner cover. Your MFC now prepares for a “head cleaning” and goes online. The MFC will ask you if you changed each colour ink cartridge. DID YOU CHANGE BLCK?1.YES 2.NO 11 Press 1 on the dial pad for each colour, as prompted (for initial setup only) within 1 minute. The MFC will enter a cleaning cycle for approximately 6 minutes.
MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS WARNING If ink gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and seek medical attention if required. Caution â– DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the MFC will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge. â– DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If you do so, the ink may spill when you take off the sealing tape. If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent immediately.
18 CHAPTER TWO If you are installing the MFC to work with a PABX: 1 It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances with a PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PABX. If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended that the Answer Mode be set to Manual. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS Using Extension Telephones It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine.
20 CHAPTER TWO Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. 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 the CNG tones, the machine will not answer the call, and messages can be left on the TAD by callers in the normal way. The TAD must answer within a maximum of four rings.
MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. 1 Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. 2 Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.) 3 End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes.
22 CHAPTER TWO Setting Up the MFC and Computer to Work Together Before You Begin 1 Make sure you have an IEEE 1284 compliant, bi-directional parallel interface cable. 2 Disconnect the telephone line cord, then unplug the MFC power cord from the electrical outlet before connecting the parallel interface cable. 3 Make sure your computer is unplugged from electrical power before you connect the interface cable.
MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS Computer Requirements Recommended system requirements for the communication software suite provided are: • Windows® 95, 98, NT® Workstation Version 4.0 • IBM PC Pentium 120 (200 recommended) or higher • 16 MB Ram [32 MB Highly Recommeded] • 50 MB of Hard Disk Space • CD Rom Drive NOTE: Use only a shielded Interface cable that is IEEE 1284 compliant and less than 2m (6.5 feet) long. Separate software for Win 3.1/3.11 can be ordered from Brother if required.
24 CHAPTER TWO ■MFL Unimessage Pro SoftwareThis software allows you to send and receive faxes with your PC, please refer to MFL Unimessage Pro Manual for further information.
