If you cannot clear the error and see the same service call indication after turning the MFC back on, call your dealer or Brother authorized service center. Cover open The cover is open. Close the cover. (See Error messages on page 22-1.) 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’ll 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 doesn’t 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 1 2 3 4 5 6 Plug the telephone line cord from the wall socket into the back of the MFC, in the socket labelled LINE. Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the correct socket on the machine. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line socket, and not its telephone socket.) Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.
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 (For 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. You can then leave the Receive Mode set to Fax Only to receive faxes any time of the day or night.
2 Paper About paper Type and size of paper The MFC loads paper from the installed paper tray, manual feed tray, multi-purpose tray or optional lower tray.
Caution Do not use ink jet paper. It may cause a paper jam and damage your MFC. The output quality depends on the paper type and paper brand. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com and check the latest recommendations for paper that can be used with the MFC-8420 and MFC-8820D. 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.
Paper capacity of the paper trays Paper size Number of sheets Multi-purpose tray (MP tray) (MFC-8820D) Width: 69.8 to 220 mm Height: 116 to 406.4 mm 50 sheets (80 g/m2) Manual feed tray (MFC-8420) Width: 69.8 to 220 mm Height: 116 to 406.

How to load paper To load paper or other media in the paper tray 1 Pull the paper tray completely out of the MFC. 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. Support Flap with Extension When you put paper in the paper tray, please remember the following: ■ The side to be printed on must be face down.
To load paper or other media in the manual feed tray (For MFC-8420) 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 of the paper.
When you put paper in the manual feed, 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. ■ Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam. ■ Do not put more than one sheet of paper or envelope in the manual feed tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam.
To load paper or other media in the multi-purpose tray (MP tray) (For MFC-8820D) When printing envelopes and labels you should only use the multi-purpose tray. 1 Open the MP tray and lower it gently. 2 Pull out and unfold the MP tray support flap.
3 When loading paper in the MP tray, make sure it touches the back of the tray. Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position on the MP tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam. You can place up to 3 envelopes or up to 50 sheets of 80 g/m2 paper in the MP tray. 4 While pressing the paper-guide release lever, slide the paper guide to fit the paper size.
To use Automatic Duplexing for fax, copy and print operations (For MFC-8820D) If you want to print on both sides of the paper using the Duplex feature for fax, copy or print, you will need to set the Paper Adjustment Lever to the size of paper you are using. This feature is available for A4, Letter or Legal size paper. (See Setting Duplex printing for Fax mode (For MFC-8820D) on page 5-13, Duplex/N in 1 on page 10-12 and Two-sided printing (Duplex Printing) on page 11-3.

11 Using the MFC as a printer Using the Brother MFC-8420, MFC-8820D printer driver A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer into the format required by a particular printer, using a printer command language or page description language. The printer drivers are on the CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers first by following the Quick Setup Guide. Also, the latest printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at: http://solutions.brother.
How to print your document When the MFC receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper tray. The paper tray can feed many types of paper and envelopes. 1 From your computer select the Print command. If your computer is also connected to any other printers, select Brother MFC-8420 or MFC-8820D (USB) Printer as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then click on OK to begin printing.
Simultaneous printing and faxing Your MFC can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax, and scanning the document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during PC printing. Two-sided printing (Duplex Printing) The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing. (For more information, see Duplex Printing on page 12-6.) Automatic Duplex Printing (For MFC-8820D) In this mode, the MFC prints on both sides of the A4, Letter or Legal paper automatically.
Manual Duplex Printing The MFC prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well, or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. We recommend 75 to 90 g/m2 paper.
Face-down output tray The MFC ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output tray in the front of the MFC. Unfold the support flap to support the printed pages. When printing transparencies, remove each one from the support flap after it exits the MFC. Support Flap with Extension Printing on plain paper The manual feed tray (For MFC-8420) The MFC automatically turns on the Manual Feed mode when you put paper in the manual feed tray.
4 Using both hands put paper in the manual feed tray until the front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller and the MFC grips the paper. ■ Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam. ■ Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam.
4 When loading paper in the MP tray, make sure it touches the back of the tray. Paper-guide Release Lever Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position on the MP tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam. 5 While pressing the paper-guide release lever, slide the paper guide to fit the paper size. When you put paper in the MP tray, please remember the following: ■ The side to be printed on must be face up.
Printing on thicker paper and card stock When the back output tray is pulled down, the MFC has a straight paper path from the manual feed tray or the MP tray through to the back of the MFC. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on thicker (106 - 161 g/m2) paper or card stock.

It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing. ScanSoft® PaperPort® can be accessed through the ScanSoft® PaperPort® program group.
Viewing items ScanSoft® PaperPort® provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail (a small graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder). Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort® Desktop. You can see PaperPort® items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort® items (files created using other applications).
Organizing your items in folders PaperPort® has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort® item or a non-PaperPort® item: ■ Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure in the Folder View. You use this section to select folders and view their items in Desktop View. ■ You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder.
ScanSoft® TextBridge® OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit Software by: ScanSoft® TextBridge® OCR is installed automatically with PaperPort® when you install MFL-Pro Suite on your computer. ScanSoft® PaperPort® can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft® PaperPort® item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application.
You can Import items from other applications In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort® in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort® (MAX) files in several different ways: ■ Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft® Excel. ■ Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows® Bitmap (BMP) or Tag Image File Format (TIFF).

If you are having difficulty with your MFC If you think there is a problem with the way your faxes look, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your MFC. Check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips. DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Printing or Receiving Faxes Condensed print and horizontal streaks or the top and bottom of sentences are cut off. If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone line.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Sending Faxes Poor sending quality. Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check your MFC’s scanner operation. If copy quality is not good, clean the scanner. (See Cleaning the scanner on page 22-24.) Transmission Verification Report says ‘RESULT:NG’ or ‘RESULT:ERROR’. There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Printer Difficulties The MFC does not print. Check the following: • The MFC is plugged in and the power switch turned On. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) • The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed properly. (See Replacing the drum unit on page 22-32.) • The interface cable is securely connected between the MFC and computer. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) • Check to see if LCD is showing an error message. (See Error messages on page 22-1.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS “Unable to write to LPT1” or “LPT1 already in use” Error Message appears. 1. Make sure the MFC is on (plugged into the AC power outlet and turned the power switch on) and that it is connected directly to the computer using the bundled IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel cable. The cable must not go through another peripheral device (such as a Zip Drive, External CD-ROM Drive, or Switch box). 2. Make sure the MFC is not displaying an error message on the LCD Display. 3.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Print Quality Difficulties Printed pages are curled. Thin or thick paper below the standard can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See Setting the Paper Type on page 4-7 and Media Type on page 12-4.) Printed pages are smeared. The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using—OR—The print media may be too thick or have a rough surface.

Scanner Window Cleaning the drum unit We recommend placing the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a cloth or large disposable paper to avoid spilling and scattering toner. 1 Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left several times. 2 Return the blue tab and snap it into the Home position (▼).
Replacing the toner cartridge The MFC can print up to 6,500 pages using a high yield toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD shows Toner Low. The MFC is supplied with a standard toner cartridge that must be replaced after approximately 3,300 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average type of document (i.e., standard letter, detailed graphics). It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the Toner Low warning.
