Acceptable paper and
other print media
2
To get the best print quality, we suggest using
Brother paper. (See the table below.)
The print quality can be affected by the type
of paper you use in the machine.
If Brother paper is not available in your
country, we recommend testing various
papers before purchasing large quantities.
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.
We recommend using ‘3M Transparency
Film’ when you print on transparencies.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated
paper), glossy paper, transparencies and
envelopes.

For best results, use Brother paper.
„ When you print on inkjet paper (coated
paper), transparencies and photo paper,
be sure to choose the correct print media
in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in
the Paper Type setting of the menu. (See
„ When you print on Brother Photo paper,
load one extra sheet of the same photo
paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has
been included in the paper package for
this purpose.
„ When you use transparencies or photo
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.

Up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm or 20 lb A4 paper.
„ Store paper in its original packaging, and
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and
away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat.
„ Transparencies and photo paper must be
picked up from the output paper tray cover
one page at a time to avoid smudging.
2
„ Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of
photo paper. Load photo 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/copiers may stain your next
document. Use only transparencies
recommended for inkjet printing.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or
irregularly shaped paper

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is an enhanced
Public Switched Telephone Service (PSTS)
7
offered by Telstra® that allows you to have an
additional number on one phone line, with its
own distinctive ring pattern. Telstra®
FaxStream® Duet® is a call handling feature
that helps users distinguish voice and
facsimile calls. With FaxStream® Duet®,
incoming calls to a fax number are
announced by a different, distinctive ring
signal. Only one call can be answered (or
made) at any one time and while this call is in
progress, incoming calls to either number will
be presented with a busy tone.
If you are using an external telephone and
have a pulse dialling service, but need to
send tone signals (for example, for telephone
banking), follow the instructions below:
a Lift the handset of the external
telephone.
b Press # on the control panel of your
machine. Any digits dialled after this will
send tone signals.
When you hang up, the machine will
return to the pulse dialling service.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function,
allowing you to dedicate one phone number
just for receiving faxes.

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will

Manual automatically. Your Distinctive
Ring Number does not allow Voice
calls - only Faxes. You can not change the
receive mode from Manual mode while
the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
If you are at an external telephone, lift the
handset of the external telephone, and then
press Hook to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you'll
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New

What is the Advantage of using
How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet®
Work?
Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Function?
7
7
Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is the
most efficient way to receive both fax and
telephone calls on the same line. When the
voice call comes in, all phones (extension
and external) and the fax machine will ring to
alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in,
the fax machine will answer automatically
without ringing, whereas the extension and
external phones will ring twice with a
distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more
efficient way of operating a Fax machine with
an extension phone as you do not have to use
the remote activation codes. It gives you two
independent numbers without the higher cost
of a second line.
Incoming calls to the voice number, will have
the standard ring pattern of long, long tone,
followed by a pause, repeated, while the new
fax number will have a different ring pattern of
three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular
intervals.
When FaxStream® Duet® is On and you
receive a voice call all extension and external
phones will ring with a standard ring pattern.
The fax machine will ring on the third ring with
a standard ring pattern. All external and the
extension phones will continue to ring, until
you or a telephone answering device can
answer the voice number.
When FaxStream® Duet® is On and you
receive a fax call on the Duet® number the
Fax machine will answer and automatically

How Does FaxAbility Work?
7
Telephone Service for
New Zealand
Your telephone number will have the standard
ring pattern of long, long tone, while the new
number will have a ring pattern of long, silence,
long, etc. When FaxAbility is On, you will not
hear the first ring of all incoming calls on the fax
machine. Extension phones will ring as usual. If
the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all
ringing will stop and the fax machine will answer
and automatically receive the fax message.
Otherwise, you will hear the extension phones
and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax
machine always listens to the ring pattern
before it answers, so do not pick up the phone
during that time. You will quickly learn to
recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will
not be tempted to answer that number. Either
you or a telephone answering device can
answer the main number(s).

FaxAbility
7
FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom
that allows you to have an additional number
on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring
pattern. This way, when you get an incoming
call, you can identify the number being called
by its ring.
How Will the Fax Machine Treat All
Other Numbers?
7
FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine
will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary)
number. When a call comes in to your main
number, all the phones will ring. You can set
an external answering device (TAD) to
answer calls on the other number(s). (See the
chart in the following page.)

Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to
receive both fax and telephone calls on the

who dial manually. The fax machine will
answer with receiving tones so they will not
have to press an activation code. And the
people who call to talk on your main number
will not have to talk to your fax machine.
Basically, it gives you two independent
numbers without the higher cost of a second

Printing photos from a memory card or USB Flash memory drive
Please be aware of the following:
Memory cards, USB Flash

structures
„ When printing an index or image, the
PhotoCapture Center™ will print all valid
images, even if one or more images have
been corrupted. Corrupted images will not
be printed.
11
Your machine is designed to be compatible
with modern digital camera image files,
memory cards or USB Flash memory drive;
however, please read the points below to
avoid errors:
„ (memory card users)
Your machine is designed to read memory
cards that have been formatted by a digital
camera.
„ The image file extension must be .JPG
(other image file extensions like .JPEG,
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be
recognized).
When a digital camera formats a memory
card it creates a special folder into which it
copies image data. If you need to modify
the image data stored on a memory card
with your PC, we recommend that you do
not modify the folder structure created by
the digital camera. When saving new or
modified image files to the memory card
we also recommend you use the same
folder your digital camera uses. If the data
is not saved to the same folder, the
machine may not be able to read the file or
print the image.
„ Direct PhotoCapture Center™ printing
must be performed separately from
PhotoCapture Center™ operations using
the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not
available.)
„ The machine can read up to 999 files on a
memory card or USB Flash memory drive.
„ The DPOF file on the memory cards must
be in a valid DPOF format. (See DPOF

23 This unit will only work in conjunction with a tone signalling (DTMF) telephone, but some
telephones are not compatible. Since noise or speech from the telephone can upset dialling
from this unit, errors may result if the devices are used together in other than quiet conditions.
24 Where it is necessary to dial prefix digits, such as a Caller Display override code (“0196 ” or
“0197 ”), this unit will have to be used in conjunction with an associated tone signalling (DTMF)
telephone.
A
25 Note that some telephones are not compatible with this unit and dialling errors may result if the
two devices are used together in other than quiet conditions. The Telecom Faults Service is
not to be called should such problems arise. In such cases, it is recommended that the prefix
and wanted number are dialled manually.
26 This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device
connected to the same line.
95
27 This equipment is not capable, under all operating conditions, of correct operation at the higher
speeds for which it is designed. Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise
in such circumstances. This condition typically applies to 56 kbit/s modems and facsimile
machines operating at >14.4 kbit/s.
28 When using the Caller Line Identification incorporated in this device, verify the integrity of the
recorded digits prior to dialling.
29 Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are
dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall
be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:
„ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute
period for any single manual call initiation.
„ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end
of one attempt and the beginning of the next call attempt.
„ Automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such that there is not less than 5 seconds
between the end of one call attempt and the beginning of another.
„ Equipment shall be set to ensure that calls are answered within 3 and 30 seconds of the
receipt of ringing.
30 In the event of any problem with this device, it is to be disconnected, and a CPE item connected
to one of its terminal ports may be connected directly in its place.
The user should then arrange for the product to be repaired. Should the matter be reported to
Telecom as a wiring fault and the fault is proven to be due to this product, a call out charge will
be incurred by the customer.
31 The Caller ID telephone numbers that are displayed and stored in this equipment include the
caller’s area code but not the toll access “0” prefix. When calling back it is necessary to add a
“0” to the telephone number, or if the telephone number is a local number, omit the area code
digit. If the toll services of a service provider other than Telecom are being used then a toll
charge may be incurred if the “0” prefix toll access code and area code are used.

Custom features on a single line.
If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, an alarm system or any other
custom feature on a single telephone 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 (Error
Correction Mode) 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 telephone line with no
custom features is recommended.

Replacing the ink cartridges
B
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter automatically
monitors the level of ink in each of the
4 cartridges. When the machine detects an
ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine
will tell you with a message on the LCD.
IMPORTANT
Make sure you pull out the paper support
until it clicks.
Note
For example, when one of the ink
cartridge is nearly empty, the LCD will
display Ink low(name of colour).
You should purchase a replacement
cartridge in preparation for when the
machine indicates the colour is completely
empty.
When one of the ink cartridge is empty,
the LCD will display Cannot Printor
B&W Print Only.
You should only replace the actual ink
cartridge when this message
Cannot Printor B&W Print Only
appears on the LCD.
The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low
or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD
prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the
correct order.
Even though the machine tells you to replace
an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount
of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary
to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to
prevent air from drying out and damaging the
print head assembly.
B
119
b Press the lock release lever as shown to
release the ink cartridge indicated on
the LCD. Remove the cartridge from the
machine.
IMPORTANT
Brother multifunction machines are
designed to work with ink of a particular
specification and will work to a level of
optimum performance and reliability when
used with genuine Brother Original ink
cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this
optimum performance and reliability if ink
or ink cartridges of other specifications are
used. Brother does not therefore
recommend the use of cartridges other
than genuine Brother Original cartridges
or the refilling of used cartridges with ink
from other sources. If damage is caused
to the print head or other parts of this
machine as a result of using other brands
of ink or ink cartridges, any repairs
required as a result may not be covered by
the warranty.
a Open the ink cartridge cover.
If one or more ink cartridges have
reached the end of their life, the LCD
shows Cannot Printor
B&W Print Only.
c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the
colour shown on the LCD, and then take
out the ink cartridge.

g The machine will automatically reset the
ink dot counter.
Note
• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for
example Black, the LCD may ask you to
verify that it was a brand new one
(Did You Change Blck?). For each
new cartridge you installed, press 1 (Yes)
to automatically reset the ink dot counter
for that colour. If the ink cartridge you
installed is not a brand new one, be sure
to press 2 (No).
e Each colour has its own correct position.
Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of
the arrow on the label.
• If the LCD shows No Cartridgeor

cartridges, check that the ink cartridges
are installed correctly.
CAUTION
If ink gets in your eyes, wash them out with
water at once and call a doctor if you are
concerned.

121
Cleaning the outside of the
machine
IMPORTANT
B
• 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.
IMPORTANT
• Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with
volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine
will damage the outside surface of the
machine.
• DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion
slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your
skin.
• DO NOT use cleaning materials that
contain ammonia.
• If ink gets on your skin or clothing,
immediately wash it off with soap or
detergent.
• DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol to remove
dirt from the control panel. It may crack the
panel.
• If you mix the colours by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the
print head several times after correcting
the cartridge installation.
Clean the outside of the machine as
follows:
B
• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in
the machine and use it up within six
months of installation. Use unopened ink
cartridges by the expiration date written on
the cartridge package.
a Pull the paper tray (1) completely out of
the machine.
