Initializing The MFC is being initialized after you switched it on. Warning Up in Sleep mode The MFC is warning up for printing in Sleep mode. Menu in Operation The Menu is in use.
LCD MFC status Description Service error Follow the steps below. 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on and try to print again. If you cannot clear the error and still see the Red back light after turning the MFC back on, please call your Brother dealer or Brother authorized service center. Cover open The cover is open. Close the cover. (See Error messages on page 12-1.) Toner empty Replace the toner cartridge with a new one.
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 will hear them after you dial and press 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.
Connecting the MFC Connecting an external telephone Although your MFC does not have a handset, you can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your MFC as shown in the diagram below. Extension Telephone External Telephone (Example for the U.K.) Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows Telephone.
Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD) Sequence You may choose to connect an 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.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. TAD TAD (Example for the U.K.) Connections The external TAD must be connected as shown above. 1 Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.) 2 Record the outgoing message on your external TAD. 3 Set the TAD to answer calls. 4 Set the Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 5-1.
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. 1 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.) 2 Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. 3 End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes.
Using extension telephones (U.K. only) 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.

Multi-line connections (PBX) Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the MFC 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 MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the MFC. If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system.

Do not use acidic or alkaline paper. ■ Use long-grain paper.
Choosing acceptable paper We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the MFC before purchasing large quantities. ■ Avoid feeding label sheets that are partly used or your MFC will be damaged. ■ Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper. ■ Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper, or paper with an embossed letterhead. For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially for plain paper and transparencies.
2 While pressing the paper guide release lever, slide the adjusters to fit the paper size. Check that the guides are firmly in the slots. For Legal size paper, press the universal guide release button and pull out the back of the paper tray.
3 4 Fan the stack of paper well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds. Put paper in the paper tray. Check that the paper is flat in the tray, below the maximum paper mark, and that the paper guide is flush against the paper stack. Up to here. 5 Put the paper tray firmly back in the MFC and unfold the support flap before you use the MFC.
When you put paper in the paper tray, please remember the following: ■ The side to be printed on must be face down. ■ Put the leading edge (top of the paper) in first and push it gently into the tray. ■ To copy or receive faxes on Legal size paper, unfold the support flap extension. To load paper or other media in the manual feed tray When printing envelopes and labels you should only use the manual feed tray. 1 Open the manual feed tray. Slide the paper guides to fit the paper size.
2 Using both hands put paper in the manual feed tray until the front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller. Hold the paper in this position until the MFC automatically feeds the paper in for a short distance, and then let go off the paper. When you put paper in the manual feed tray, please remember the following: ■ The side to be printed on must be face up. ■ Put the leading edge (top of the paper) in first and push it gently into the tray.
Using the automatic document feeder (ADF) You can send faxes, copy and scan from the ADF (automatic document feeder). ■ Make sure original documents written with ink are completely dry. ■ The original documents to be faxed must be from 148 to 216 mm wide and 100 to 356 mm long. ■ Make sure you place the original documents face down, top edge first. ■ Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your original documents.
■ The ADF can hold up to 30 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use standard (75 g/m2) paper. ■ Always fan the original documents before putting them in the ADF, and then stagger the pages in the ADF as shown: 30˚ DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper clipped, pasted or taped. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric. DO NOT pull on the original document while it is in progress.
