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.)

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.

Canada. For Technical Support or for the name and location of your nearest

do?
Telephone services

7
Your machine supports the Caller ID and
Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone
services that some telephone companies
offer.
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.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, 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.
Note
You must pay for your telephone
company's Distinctive Ring service before
you program the machine to work with it.
Distinctive Ring
7
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.
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.
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.

sure you reset this feature.

machine and the TAD will try to control the
phone line. (See the illustration below.)
•
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.

Roll over phone lines

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.
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.
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.

beginning of your message. (This allows
your machine time to listen for the fax
CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
Two-line phone system
7
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
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
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.
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

add a two-line telephone to the machine's
wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line

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.
Multi-line connections (PBX)

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

copies image data. If you need to modify
the image data stored on a media 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 media 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.
The machine can only read one media card at
a time so do not put more than one card in a
slot.

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

Replacing the ink cartridges

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.
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.
c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the
color shown on the LCD, and then take
out the ink cartridge.
Even though the machine tells you that an ink
cartridge is empty, 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.
d Remove the protective yellow cap (1).

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

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.
g If you replaced an ink cartridge, the LCD
may ask you to verify that it was a brand
new one. (For example,
Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in

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
High Yield Black - Approximately 900 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;
