How to dial How to fax G Glossary A Accessory List Thank you for buying a Brother fax machine. This fax machine is simple to use, with LCD screen instructions to guide you through programming it. You can make the most of the fax machine by reading this Guide.

All the chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find information about a specific feature or operation by checking the Index at the back of this Guide.

To make things clearer and to help you press the correct keys, we used special fonts and added some of the messages that will appear in the LCD. Electrical Hazards alert you to possible electrical shock. Cautions specify procedures you must follow or avoid to prevent possible damage to the fax machine.

Notes tell you how you should respond to a situation that may arise or give tips about how the current operation works with other features. Improper Setup alerts you to devices and operations that are not compatible with the fax machine. These 6 keys give you instant access to 12 previously stored Quick-Dial numbers. Use these keys to dial telephone and fax numbers and as a keyboard for entering information into the fax machine.

Lets you look up numbers stored in the dialling memory, lets you put calls on hold and lets you dial stored numbers by pressing and a two-digit number.

Redials the last number you called. It also inserts a pause in Quick-Dial numbers. When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones CNG tones. These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud, chirping sounds. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60 seconds after the number is dialled. So it is important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

Pay special attention to the directions for connecting a TAD in this chapter. See Connecting an external telephone answering device TAD on page ECM transmissions are only possible between machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously being checked by the fax machine. Before you connect the external telephone, remove the protective film from the EXT. To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the fax, lift the handset and press Hook.

You may choose to connect an answering device. If it hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax.

The TAD must answer within four rings the recommended setting is two rings. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds four rings. If you do not receive all your faxes, you must reset the setting on your external TAD to four rings or less.

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. Before you connect the external telephone answering machine, remove the protective film from the EXT. Timing is important in recording this message.

The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. This allows the fax machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.

We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the fax machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if the fax machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it. Most offices use a central telephone system.

While it is often relatively simple to connect the fax machine to a key system or a PABX Private Automatic Branch Exchange , we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the fax machine for you. We recommended all our fax machines be connected to a discreet line. Although same fax machines will work with a particular PABX, we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate properly. If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system.

This prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PABX. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls. Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat. The fax machine can only scan an image mm wide, regardless of how wide the paper is. When you use letter size paper, remove paper guides as shown in the illustration.

The fax machine is designed to be easy to use with LCD on-screen programming using the navigation keys. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections the fax machine has to offer.

Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-by-step on-screen instructions to help you program the fax machine. All you need to do is follow the instructions as they guide you through the menu selections and programming options. These pages will help you understand the menu selections and options that are found in the fax machine programs. The factory setting option is shown in bold. SEND Continued. When the fax machine is not in use, it will display the date and time.

If you set up the Station ID, the date and time displayed by your fax machine will be printed on every fax you send. If there is a power failure, you may have to reset the date and time.

The LCD now shows the date and time whenever the fax machine is in Standby mode. You should store your name or company name and fax number so they print on all fax pages that you send. The telephone number will appear only on cover pages and call back messages.
