If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully.
Phone services and external devices Distinctive Ring 7 Brother uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but different telephone companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring. What does your telephone company’s ‘Distinctive Ring’ do? 7 Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows you to have more than one number on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an extra line.

Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the back of the machine, in the jack labeled EXT.
Phone services and external devices Two-line phone system 7 A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line phone and see if it can access both lines.
Chapter 7 External and extension phones You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machine’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. Multi-line connections (PBX) We suggest you ask the company who installed your PBX to connect your machine.

A Safety and Legal Choosing a location Place your machine on a flat, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks. Put the machine near a telephone wall jack and a standard, grounded AC power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 50° F and 90.5° F (10° C and 32.5° C) and the humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation). CAUTION Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area.
Safety and Legal To use the machine safely A Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any maintenance. WARNING There are high voltage electrodes inside the machine.

C Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Troubleshooting C C IMPORTANT For technical help, you must call the country where you bought the machine. Calls must be made from within that country. If you are having difficulty with your machine 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 machine. Check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips. You can solve most problems by yourself.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Phone Line or Connections Difficulties Suggestions Dialing does not work. Check for a dial tone. Change Tone/Pulse setting. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) Check all line cord connections. Check that the machine is plugged in and switched on. Send a manual fax by pressing Hook or by lifting the handset of the external phone and dialing the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Start. The machine does not answer when called.
Handling Incoming Calls (Continued) Difficulties Suggestions Custom features on a single line. If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice Mail, an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single phone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving faxes. For Example: Your Brother machine handles the Caller ID subscriber services.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Printing Difficulties (Continued) Difficulties The machine prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing. Suggestions Check the settings in your application to make sure that it is set up to work with your machine. Your computer is not recognizing the machine’s input buffer’s full signal. Make sure that you connected the interface cable correctly. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) The machine cannot print full pages of a document.
Software Difficulties (Continued) Difficulties Suggestions ‘Unable to write to LPT1’, ‘LPT1 already in use’ or ‘MFC is Busy’ error message appears. Make sure that the machine is on (plugged into the AC power outlet and the power switch turned on) and that it is connected directly to the computer using the 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).
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Print Quality Difficulties Difficulties Printed pages are curled. Suggestions Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the paper tray. Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the media type you are using. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 12.) Printed pages are smeared. Printouts are too light.
Network Difficulties (Continued) Difficulties Suggestions The network scanning feature does not work. (For Windows® only) The firewall setting on your PC may be rejecting the necessary network connection. Follow the instructions below to configure your firewall. If you are using a personal firewall software, see the User’s Guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer. The network PC Fax Receive feature does not work. The network printing feature does not work.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Network Difficulties (Continued) Difficulties Suggestions The network scanning feature does not work. For Windows Vista® users: The network PC Fax Receive feature does not work. The network printing feature does not work. a Click the Start button, Control Panel, Network and Internet, Windows Firewall and click Change settings. b When the User Account Control screen appears, do the following.

Improving the print quality Examples of poor print quality ABCDEFGH CDEF abcdefghijk defg ABCD abcde 01234 Faint Recommendation Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as humidity, high temperatures, and so on, may cause this print fault. (See Choosing a location on page 88.) If the whole page is too light, Toner Save mode may be on. Turn off Toner Save mode in the machine’s menu settings or in the printer Properties of the driver.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 12.) Choose Thick paper mode in the printer driver or in the machine’s Paper Type menu setting, or use thinner paper than you are currently using. (See Paper Type on page 18 and Basic tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.) Hollow print Check the machine’s environment.
Examples of poor print quality ABCDEFGH abcdefghijk ABCD abcde 01234 White lines across the page Recommendation Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. A rough surfaced paper or thick print media can cause the problem. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 12.) Make sure that you choose the proper media type in the printer driver or in the machine’s Paper Type menu setting.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high humidity will cause paper to curl. If you do not use the machine often, the paper may have been in the paper tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper in the paper tray. Also, fan the paper stack and then rotate the paper 180° in the paper tray. Curled or wave Make sure that paper is loaded properly.
