Brother One Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service (USA only)

Who is covered: This limited warranty (warranty) is given only to the original end-use/retail purchaser (referred to in this warranty as Original Purchaser) of the accompanying product, consumables and accessories (collectively referred to in this warranty as this Product). If you purchased a product from someone other than an authorized Brother reseller in the United States or if the product was used (including but not limited to floor models or refurbished product), prior to your purchase you are not the Original Purchaser and the product that you purchased is not covered by this warranty.

What is covered: This Product includes a Machine and Consumable and Accessory Items. Consumable and Accessory Items include but are not limited to print heads, toner, drums, ink cartridges, print cartridges, refill ribbons, therma PLUS paper, thermal paper, and the cordless handset battery. Except as otherwise provided herein, Brother warrants that the Machine and the accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, when used under normal conditions. This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in the United States. For products purchased in, but used outside, the United States, this warranty covers only warranty service within the United States (and does not include shipping outside the United States).

What is the length of the Warranty Periods: Machines: one year from the original purchase date. Accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items: 90 days from the original purchase date or the rated life of consumable, whichever comes first.

What is NOT covered: This warranty does not cover: 1 Physical damage to this Product; 2 Damage caused by improper installation,

improper or abnormal use, misuse, neglect or accident (including but not limited to transporting this Product without the proper preparation and/or packaging);

3 Damage caused by another device or software used with this Product (including but not limited to damage resulting from use of non Brother-brand parts and Consumable and Accessory Items);

4 Consumable and Accessory Items that expired in accordance with a rated life; and,

5 Problems arising from other than defects in materials or workmanship.

6 Normal Periodic Maintenance Items, such as Paper Feeding Kit, Fuser and Laser Units.

This limited warranty is VOID if this Product has been altered or modified in any way (including but not limited to attempted warranty repair without authorization from Brother and/or alteration/removal of the serial number). What to do if you think your Product is eligible for warranty service: Report your issue to either our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-284-4329 for Fax, MFC and DCP and 1-800-276-7746 for Printers, or to a Brother Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period. Supply Brother or the Brother Authorized Service Center with a copy of your dated bill of sale showing that this Product was purchased within the U.S. For the name of local Brother Authorized Service Center(s), call 1-800-521-2846. What Brother will ask you to do: After contacting Brother or a Brother Authorized Service Center, you may be required to deliver (by hand if you prefer) or send the Product properly packaged, freight prepaid, to the Authorized Service Center together with a photocopy of your bill of sale. You are responsible for the cost of shipping, packing product, and insurance (if you desire). You are also responsible for loss or damage to this Product in shipping. What Brother will do: If the problem reported concerning your Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is covered by this warranty and if you first reported the problem to Brother or an Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period, Brother or its Authorized Service Center will repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items at no charge to you for parts or labor. The decision as to whether to repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is made by Brother in its sole

vi

Brother One Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service (USA only)

discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a refurbished or remanufactured replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such replacement products conform to the manufacturer's specifications for new product/parts. The repaired or replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or made available for you to pick up at a conveniently located Authorized Service Center. If the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back to you and charged for any service and/or replacement parts/products at Brother's then current published rates. The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under this warranty. What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine: When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving one from Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brother, Brother will send to you a replacement Machine with the understanding that you will, after receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required proof of purchase information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions provided by Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines, Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number. Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines that your original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems with your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty period on your original Product has expired or

has not been sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of purchase (bill of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original Machine shall become the property of Brother. Retain your original Accessory Items and a copy of the return freight bill, signed by the courier. Limitations: Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media, programs or data related to the use of this Product. Except for that repair or replacement as described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION, PROMISE, DESCRIPTION, DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

This Limited Warranty is the only warranty that Brother is giving for this Product. It is the final expression and the exclusive and only statement of Brother's obligations to you. It replaces all other agreements and understandings that you may have with Brother or its representatives. This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state. This Limited Warranty (and Brother's obligation to you) may not be changed in any way unless you and Brother sign the same piece of paper in which we (1) refer to this Product and your bill of sale date, (2) describe the change to this warranty and (3) agree to make that change.

Important: We recommend that you keep all original packing materials, in the event that you ship this Product.

BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER/FACSIMILE MACHINE LIMITED WARRANTY

(Canada only)

Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts, Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (Brother), or its Authorized Service Centers, will repair this MFC/Facsimile machine free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner and drum) or damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the MFC/Facsimile machine in excess of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In order to obtain warranty service, the MFC/Facsimile machine must be delivered or shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a Brother Authorized Service Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt. For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit on applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the MFC/Facsimile and will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your User's Guide for proper packaging.) For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty. (Refer to your User's Guide for proper packaging.) BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY WAIVED. No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its Authorized Service Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states Brother's entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Facsimile machine to operate properly. Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this MFC/Facsimile machine shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of or inability to use the product, even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the possibility of such damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of liability, such limitation may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from Providence to Providence. Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centers throughout Canada. For Technical Support or for the name and location of your nearest Authorized Service Center call 1-877-BROTHER.

How to load documents 2

CAUTION

DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.

DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper clipped, pasted or taped.

DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric.

Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry.

Scannable area 2

The scannable area depends on the settings in the application you are using. The figures below show the areas you cannot scan on paper.

Acceptable paper and other media 2

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you are using in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use Brother paper.

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to choose the proper media in the Basic tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu. (See Paper Type on page 19.)

When you print on Brother photo paper, load the instruction sheet included with the photo paper in the paper tray first, and then put the photo paper on top of the instruction sheet.

When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Recommended media 2

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.)

We recommend using 3M Transparency Film when you print on transparencies.

1 Available in the USA and from November 2006 in Canada.

Handling and using media 2

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing down.

Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers and copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Improper Setup

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 0.08 in. (2 mm) or longer

Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

Paper already printed on by a printer

Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

Paper made with a short grain

Paper capacity of the output paper tray 2

Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 g/m2 A4 paper.

Transparencies or glossy paper must be picked up from the output paper tray one page at a time to avoid smudging.

Chapter 7

42

Telephone services 7

Your machine supports the Caller ID and Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone services that some telephone companies offer.

Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Ring Master, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one phone line may affect the way your machine works. If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully.

Distinctive Ring 7

Brother uses the term Distinctive Ring but different telephone companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.

What does your telephone company's Distinctive Ring do? 7

Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service allows you to have more than one number on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an extra line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

Note Please call your telephone company for availability and rates.

What does Brother's Distinctive Ring do? 7

The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your machine to take full advantage of the telephone company's Distinctive Ring service. The new phone number on your line can just receive faxes.

Note You must pay for your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service before you program the machine to work with it.

Do you have Voice Mail? 7

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that you will install your new machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, the Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the machine can work together without any problems. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other's operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions on next page to register the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine can recognize its incoming calls.

Note You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it off temporarily, and turn it back on later. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this feature.

Telephone Services and External devices

Before you choose the ring pattern to register 7

You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by your Brother machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you.

Note If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call your telephone company and ask for one that is shown.

The machine will only answer calls to its registered number.

The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must listen to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was registered). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)

If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the fax number within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the voice number is called, the machine will not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern 7

Very Important! After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to on, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. You cannot change the receive mode to another mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Caller ID 7

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. Call your telephone company for details. This service shows the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings.

After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (and name, if available). Once you answer a call, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information stays stored in the Caller ID memory.

You can see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).

The Out of Area message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area.

The Private Call message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.

You can print a list of the Caller ID information received by your machine. (See Printing Caller ID List on page 44.)

Note Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to find out about the kind of service available in your area.

Viewing Caller ID List 7

If Caller ID is set to On, your machine stores information for the last thirty calls in the Caller ID list. You can view or print this list. When the thirty-first call comes in to the machine, it replaces information about the first call.

Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) 7

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. The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax handshake. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.

Note If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce

the Ring Delay setting on your external 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, and use that number as a fax number. The recommended setting is at least four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone company's Distinctive Ring Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver setting.

If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service:

You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your machine. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to control the phone line. (See the illustration below.)

Connections 7

The external TAD must be plugged into the jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).

a Plug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack into the jack labeled LINE.

b Plug the telephone line cord from the external TAD into the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD's telephone line jack, and not its handset jack.)

c Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine's Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

d Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.

e Set the TAD to answer calls.

f Do one of the following:

(MFC-3360C and FAX-1860C) Set the Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 34.)

(FAX-1960C) Set the receive mode to Manual with Easy Receive turned on.

Recording an outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD 7

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

a Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

c End 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 l 5 1 and Start.

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

Special line considerations 7

Roll over phone lines 7

A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to 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 machine 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 machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best on a dedicated line.

Two-line phone system 7

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 mixed into one jack (RJ14). Your machine 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 machine. (See Easy Receive on page 37.)

Converting telephone wall outlets 7

There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require help 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 machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple adapter.

Triplex Adapter 7

Installing machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone 7

When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the machine on Line 2, which is explained in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your external two- line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.

a Put the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine.

b Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.

c Plug 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.

1 Triplex Adapter 2 Two Line Phone 3 External Two Line TAD 4 Machine

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machine's wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.

Multi-line connections (PBX) 7

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.

We cannot guarantee that your machine will operate properly under all circumstances when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties with sending or receiving faxes should be reported first to the company who handles your PBX.

External and extension phones 7

Connecting an external or extension telephone 7

You can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your machine as shown in the diagram below.

Connect the telephone line cord to the jack labeled EXT.

Using external and extension telephones 7

If you answer a fax call on an extension or an external telephone connected to the EXT. jack of the machine, you can make your machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code l 5 1, the machine starts to receive the fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 37.)

If you answer a call and no one is on the line: 7

You should assume that you're receiving a manual fax.

Press l 5 1 and wait for the chirp or until the LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.

Note You can also use the Easy Receive feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Easy Receive on page 37.)

Using a non-Brother cordless external telephone (MFC-3360C and FAX-1860C) 7

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the machine and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay.

If you let the machine answer first, you will have to go to the machine so you can press Hook/Hold or Speaker Phone to send the call to the cordless handset.

Using remote codes 7

Fax receive code 7

If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialing the fax receive code l 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Easy Receive on page 37.) Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.

Telephone answer code 7

If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the pseudo/double-ring after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension phone you can turn the pseudo/double-ring off by pressing # 5 1 (make sure you press this between the rings).

Changing the remote codes 7

The preset Fax Receive Code is l 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1. If you want to, you can replace them with your own codes.

If you often have interference on the phone line, try changing the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic or Normal. (See Phone line interference on page 101.)

Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance

93

Sending Faxes

Difficulty Suggestions

Cannot send a fax Check all line cord connections.

Make sure that the Fax key is illuminated. (See Entering Fax mode on page 28.)

Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.

Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error. (See Reports on page 66.)

Make sure the panel cover is completely closed.

Transmission Verification Report says Result:NG or Result:ERROR.

There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again. If you send a PC FAX message and get Result:NG on the Transmission Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. If the problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your phone line.

If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the phone line, try changing the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic. (See Phone line interference on page 101.)

Poor fax send quality. Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check your machine's scanner operation. If the copy quality is not good, clean the scanner. (See Cleaning the scanner on page 105.)

Handling Incoming Calls

Difficulty Suggestions

The machine Hears a voice as a CNG Tone.

If Easy Receive 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 Easy Receive to off. (See Easy Receive on page 37.)

Sending a fax call to the machine. If you answered at the machine, press Black Start and hang up at once. If you answered on an external or extension phone, press your Fax Receive Code (default setting is l51). When your machine answers, hang up.

Custom features on a single line. If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Voice Mail, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single phone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving faxes.

For example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax, the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Brother's ECM feature should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone system industry and is common to all devices that send and receive information on a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight interruption is crucial to your business, a separate phone line with no custom features is recommended.

WARNING

If ink gets in your eyes, wash them out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.

CAUTION

Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the ink cartridges provided with your machine. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges. Use or attempted use of potentially incompatible ink and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we strongly recommend the use of Genuine Brother Supplies.

DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin.

If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.

If you mix the colors by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation.

Consumable items D

Ink The machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges that are separate from the print head assembly.

Service Life of Ink Cartridge

The first time you install the ink cartridges the machine will use extra ink to fill the ink delivery tubes. This is a one-time process that enables high quality printing. Afterward, replacement ink cartridges will print the specified number of pages.

Replacement Ink Cartridges Standard Black - Approximately 500 pages at 5% coverage

Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 400 pages at 5% coverage The above figures are based upon the following assumptions:

Continuous printing at a resolution of 600 600 dpi in normal mode after installing new ink cartridge;

The printing frequency;

The number of pages printed;

Periodic, automatic, print head assembly cleaning (Your machine will clean the print head assembly periodically. This process will use a small amount of ink); and,

Ink remaining in cartridge identified as empty (It is necessary to leave a small amount of ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly).
