system to send faxes to any fax machine, not just the one from

faxed instructions about using the system and an index of

Fax-Back subjects.

Introduction

Using This Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Brother Multi-Function Center

(MFC). This MFC has been designed to be simple to use, with

LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However,

you can use your MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few

minutes to read this manual.

Additionally, your MFC has a Help Key. Press

Help/Broadcast

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 in the back of this

manual. Also, throughout this manual, you’ll 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 MFC and fax it to Brother’s

will verify that your MFC is properly installed.

When this document is received, a confirmation sheet will be sent

back to your MFC. In order to receive a response, be sure to set up

your Station ID.

About Fax Machines

If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a

little mysterious. You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on

your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

Fax Tones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones,

(CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals.

You’ll hear them when you dial and press

Start

, and they continue

for about 40 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending

machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine.

Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are

sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen

for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your MFC

line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud,

chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over

the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVING. If your MFC

is set to the FAX mode, it will answer every call automatically

with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your

MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the

screen continues to display RECEIVING.

Introduction

When your MFC answers in FAX/TEL mode, the MFC listens for

CNG tones and then responds with receiving tones.

The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s

CNG tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. 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 40 seconds after the number is dialed.

Therefore, it’s 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 MFC line, your TAD will determine the number of rings

before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions

for connecting a TAD to your MFC in the MFC Setup and

Connections chapter.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC 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 MFC for this feature

to work.
