WARNING! Miscellaneous approval conditions National and European laws state that only approved apparatus may be connected to lines provided by Public Telecommunications Operators (PTOs). In the case of analogue Group 3 fax machines such as your Brother fax, this usually implies compliance with national technical requirements, and an approval certificate issued by the national authorities in the country of original sale/import by Brother.
1 C H A P T E R O N E Introduction Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother Multi-function center (MFC). This machine has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your machine to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual. Additionally, your machine has a Help Key. Press Help/Broadcast to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.
2 CHAPTER ONE Symbols Used In This Manual Note or additional information. The machine may be damaged or may not work correctly if this is not observed. Warning. Damage can result if this is not observed. Features Offered by your Multi-Function Centre Your MFC-9050 can be used as a fax machine, a copier and as a 600 dpi laser printer. As well as sending and receiving faxes, you can also print, scan and duplicate documents easily and quickly.
INTRODUCTION Fax Tones and Handshake When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line.

Only for MFC-9550 ** .........
10 CHAPTER TWO Choosing a Location Place your machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket. Avoid placing your machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust.
I N S TA L L AT I O N 3 Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. 4 Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Assembly Install the Drum Unit Assembly (with Toner Cartridge) 1 Unpack the drum unit assembly, including the toner cartridge, and gently rock it from side to side five or six times.
12 CHAPTER TWO Do NOT remove starter sheet. 2 Open the top cover of the machine.
I N S TA L L AT I O N 3 Holding the drum unit by its handles, insert it in the machine. 4 Close the top cover.
14 CHAPTER TWO Setting Up the machine Follow the instructions below to connect the handset (For MFC-9550 only), power cord, and telephone line. * . EXT * E LIN * ....... Only for MFC-9550 (Example for the U.K.) 1 Connecting the Handset. (For MFC-9550 only) Connect the curled handset cord to the bottom of the handset and to the left side of the machine. 2 Connect the power cord.
I N S TA L L AT I O N IMPORTANT: If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code.
16 CHAPTER TWO 3 4 Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the socket marked LINE on the left side of the machine. Connect the other end to the modular wall socket. Attach the wire extensions to the Multi-purpose sheet feeder, and to the document guide base. 5 Attach the document and paper trays to the machine and pull out their extensions.
I N S TA L L AT I O N Loading Paper 1 Open the Multi-purpose sheet feeder cover. 2 Fan the paper well. Load the paper, making sure that the printing surface is towards the fax unit and the paper level is stacked below the triangle mark. The feeder can hold up to 200 sheets of 80gsm paper, or up to 10 envelopes. 3 Adjust the guides to fit the paper width.
18 CHAPTER TWO Attaching Dust Cover ■ It is essential to keep the dust cover on your machine to prevent dust from entering the print mechanism. ■ Using the dust cover on your machine will prolong the life of the drum unit. 1 Attach the dust cover to the now open Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder cover, pressing the dust cover sides around the feeder until they snap into place. 2 Close the Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder cover. Acceptable Paper Size : A4 (210mm x 297mm) Weight : 60 g/m2 – 158 g/m2 Thickness : 0.
I N S TA L L AT I O N Multi-Line Connections (PABXs) Most offices use a central telephone system, or PABX. The machine will work with most PABX or key systems that allow a two-wire analogue connection. However, we recommend that you have a separate telephone line for your machine. You can then leave the machine in Fax Only Mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
20 CHAPTER TWO 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.
I N S TA L L AT I O N Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence You might choose to connect an additional answering machine. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. The machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t 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.
22 CHAPTER TWO Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. 1 We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds. 2 Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so reception can be faster.
3 C H A P T E R T H R E E On-Screen Programming User-Friendly Programming See “Using This Manual” chap. 1 We have designed your machine with on-screen programming and a Help key. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions your machine has to offer. Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-bystep on-screen prompts to help you program your machine.
