Check that the paper is flat in the tray. g Close the output paper tray.
Chapter 2 h Slowly push the paper tray completely into the machine. Loading envelopes and post cards About envelopes 2 Use envelopes that weigh between 80 to 95 g/m2. Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application.

Chapter 7 Telephone services The Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to find out about the kind of service available in your area. Your machine supports the Caller ID subscriber telephone service that some telephone companies offer. Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one telephone line may create problems with the operation of your machine.
Telephone and External devices e f g Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate a second telephone number (on the same telephone line) just for receiving faxes. Press Phone Line Set. Press PBX, ISDN (or Normal). Press Stop/Exit. PBX and TRANSFER Note 7 The machine is initially set to Normal, which lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) line.
Chapter 7 Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.
Telephone and External devices Multi-line connections (PBX) We suggest you ask the company who installed your PBX to connect your machine. If you have a multi line system we suggest you ask the installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the machine being activated each time the system receives telephone calls. If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator we recommend that you set the Receive Mode to Manual.

B Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Troubleshooting B B If you think there is a problem with your machine, check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips. Most problems can be easily resolved by yourself. If you need additional help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com.
Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Printing (continued) Difficulty Suggestions White horizontal lines appear in text or graphics. Clean the print head. (See Cleaning the print head on page 157.) Make sure you are using Brother Original Innobella™ Ink. Try using the recommended types of paper. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 17.) The machine prints blank pages.

Printing (continued) Difficulty Suggestions Photo paper does not feed properly. When you print on Brother photo paper, make sure you always load one additional sheet of photo paper first before loading the paper you want to print on. Clean the paper pick-up roller. (See Cleaning the paper pick-up roller on page 156.) Photo paper does not feed properly. When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray.
Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Receiving Faxes Difficulty Suggestions Cannot receive a fax. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup. (See Receive mode settings on page 46.) If you often have interference on the telephone line, try changing the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic(for VoIP). (See Telephone line interference on page 141.
Handling Incoming Calls Difficulty Suggestions The machine ‘Hears’ a voice as a CNG Tone. If Fax Detect is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect to Off. (See Fax Detect on page 47.) Sending a fax call to the machine.
Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Software Difficulties Difficulty Suggestions Cannot install software or print. Run the Repair MFL-Pro Suite program on the CD-ROM.

Network Difficulties Difficulty Suggestions Cannot print over the Network. Make sure that your machine is powered on and is online and in Ready mode. Print a Network Configuration list (see Reports on page 81.) and check the current Network settings printed in this list. Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the cabling and network connections are good. If possible, try connecting the machine to a different port on your hub using a different cable.
Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Dial Tone detection When you send a fax automatically, by default your machine will wait for a fixed amount of time before it starts to dial the number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to Detection you can make your machine dial as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting can save a small amount of time when sending a fax to many different numbers.
