    Assembly
    Installing the Drum Unit Assembly 
    (with Toner Cartridge)
    1Unpack the drum 
    unit assembly, 
    including the toner 
    cartridge, and 
    gently rock it from 
    side to side five or 
    six times to 
    distribute the toner 
    evenly inside the 
    cartridge.
    To prevent damage to the drum, do NOT expose it to 
    light for longer than a few minutes.
    Do NOT remove the starter sheet—this will be 
    ejected while the FAX/MFC is warming up.

    							ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS   2 - 5
    Setting Up the FAX/MFC
    Follow the instructions below to connect the handset, power cord, and telephone 
    line.
    1Connect the Handset.
    Connect the curled handset cord to the bottom of the handset and the left side of 
    the FAX/MFC.
    2Connect the power cord. 
    WARNING
    This FAX/MFC must be grounded using a three-prong plug.
    Since the FAX/MFC is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect 
    yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone 
    network by keeping the power to your FAX/MFC on when you connect it to a 
    telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your 
    FAX/MFC, by disconnecting the telephone line first and then the power cord.
    Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you 
    use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the 
    telephone line, or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.
    Do not touch the rollers at the paper exit.
    3Connect the telephone line.
    Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the left 
    side of the FAX/MFC. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.

    							ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS   2 - 9
    Connecting an External Telephone
    Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. 
    However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering 
    device) directly to your FAX/MFC.
    Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. 
    on the back side of the FAX/MFC. 
    Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows EXT. TEL IN USE, 
    and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the 
    external phone and switch to the fax, press Hook.
    Connecting an External Telephone 
    Answering Device (TAD)
    Sequence
    You may choose to connect an answering system. However, when you have an 
    external TAD on the same telephone line as the FAX/MFC, the TAD answers 
    all calls. The FAX/MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, 
    the FAX/MFC takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG 
    tones, the FAX/MFC lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so 
    your caller can leave you a voice message.
    The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). 
    The FAX/MFC cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and 
    with four rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax 
    “handshake.”  Make sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for 
    recording your outgoing message. Do not use a “toll-saver” ring setting on the 
    TAD.
     If You Subscribe to your Telephone Company’s Distinctive Ring Service:
    You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe 
    to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, have registered the 
    distinctive ring pattern on your machine, use that number as a fax number and 
    set your machine’s Receive mode to MANUAL.
    The recommended setting is three or four rings on the external TAD when you 
    have the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service.
    If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service:
    You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your Brother machine. If your 
    TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to 
    control the phone line. (See illustration on page 2-10.) 
    						
    							2 - 10   ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
    Connections
    The external TAD must be plugged into the left  side of the FAX/MFC, into the 
    jack labeled EXT. Your FAX/MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD 
    into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).
    1Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the FAX/
    MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
    2Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the left side of the 
    FAX/MFC, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the 
    TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)
    3Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The FAX/MFC’s Ring Delay 
    setting does not apply.)
    4Record the outgoing message on your external TAD (see next page).
    5Set the TAD to answer calls.
    6Set the Receive Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH. (See Choosing the Receive 
    Mode
    , page 5-1.)
    Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line (unless you have 
    the Distinctive Ring service).

    Outgoing Message (OGM) on External TAD
    Timing is important in recording this message.
    1Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your 
    FAX/MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions 
    before they stop.)
    2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
    3End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people 
    sending manual faxes. For example:
    “After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing   51 and Start.”
    Special Line Considerations
    Roll-Over Phone Lines
    A roll-over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that 
    pass incoming calls each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed 
    down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
    Your FAX/MFC can work in a roll-over system as long as it is the last number 
    in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the FAX/MFC on any 
    of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call would 
    be received, the fax call is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. 
    Your FAX/MFC will work best on a dedicated line.
    Two-Line Phone System
    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 FAX/MFC 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. If it can, you must separate 
    the line for your FAX/MFC. (See 
    Easy Receive, page 5-3.) 
    						
    							2 - 12   ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
    Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
    There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require 
    assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from 
    one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed 
    and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
    The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter 
    into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, 
    Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your FAX/MFC is on Line 1, 
    plug the FAX/MFC into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your FAX/MFC is on Line 
    2, plug it into L2 of the triplex adapter.
    Installing FAX/MFC, External Two-Line TAD and Two-Line 
    Telephone
    When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device 
    (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your FAX/MFC must be isolated on one line 
    at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the 
    FAX/MFC on Line 2. The two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one 
    labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2, which is explained in the 
    following Steps. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that 
    came with your FAX/MFC and two for your external two-line TAD. You will 
    need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.
    1Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your FAX/MFC.
    2Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your FAX/MFC into the L2 jack of 
    the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the left side of the 
    FAX/MFC.
    3Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of 
    the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line 
    TAD.
