1 1 CHAPTER ONE Introduction Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine or multi-function center. This machine has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your fax machine to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual. To simplify the manual instrucions, all FAX and MFC models are referred to as Òfax machineÓ. Additionally, your fax machine has a Help Key. Press Help to print a list of basic operational steps and functions. Finding Information All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find information about a specific feature or function by checking the Index at the back of this manual. Also, throughout this manual, youÕll see special symbols alerting you to important information, cross-references, and warnings. Illustrations of some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses. Test Sheet Procedures (for USA only) After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST SHEET included with your fax machine and fax it to BrotherÕs Automated Fax Response System as your first transmission.

2CHAPTER ONE About Fax Machines If youÕre a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. YouÕll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able send and receive faxes easily. Fax Tones and Handshake When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones) Ñ soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. YouÕll hear them when you dial and press Start, and they continue for 30 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the ÒhandshakeÓ with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. YouÕll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message. The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones Ñ loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays ÒRECEIVE.Ó If your machine is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to send the ÒchirpsÓ for 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display ÒRECEIVE.Ó To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop. When your fax machine is in FAX/TEL (F/T), it answers with a short beep. After this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and then responds with receiving tones. The fax ÒhandshakeÓ is the time in which the sending machineÕs CNG tones and the receiving machineÕs ÒchirpsÓ overlap. This must be for at least two to four 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 30 seconds after the number is dialed. Therefore, itÕs important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible. When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD to your fax machine.
3INTRODUCTION ECM (Error Correction Mode) The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to check the integrity of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are possible only between machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously checked for their integrity. Sufficient memory must be available in your fax machine for this feature to work.
