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

BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER / FAX MACHINE
LIMITED WARRANTY
(Canada only)
Pursuant to the limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts,
Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service
Centres, will repair or replace (at Brother’s sole discretion) this MFC/Fax machine free of
charge if defective in material or workmanship. This warranty applies only to products
purchased and used in Canada.
This limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation,
ink cartridges, print cartridges, print rolls, thermal paper rolls, toner cartridges, drum units,
OPC belts, fixing units, print heads, paper feed rollers, transfer rolls, cleaning rollers, waste
toner packs, oil bottles) 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 if shipped
out of the country.
The use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products may void your
warranty. This limited warranty ceases when this machine is rented, sold, or otherwise
disposed of. Operation of the MFC/Fax 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/Fax machine must be delivered or shipped
freight prepaid by the end-user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service Centre, together
with your Canadian Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.
When shipping or transporting your MFC/Fax machine, please refer to your Operation
Manual for the proper packaging procedures.
For Laser units: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit, waste toner
packs or oil bottles on applicable models) during shipping or transport will cause severe
damage to the Laser MFC/Fax machine and will void the Warranty.
For inkjet units: (When shipping your Inkjet MFC/Fax machine remove the ink cartridges and
replace them with the original protective parts. If original protective parts are not available,
leave ink cartridges installed. Please avoid shipping the unit without original protective parts
or ink cartridges.) Damage to your print head resulting from packing the Inkjet MFC/Fax
machine without the ink cartridges or the protective parts will void your warranty.
Improper packaging may cause severe damage to the machine during shipping and will void
the warranty.
BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
INCLUDING,
WITHOUT
LIMITATIONS,
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 Centres, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty
or modify this warranty. The warranty states Brother’s entire liability and your exclusive
remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Fax machine to operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this
MFC/Fax 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 Province to Province.
Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized
Service Centres throughout Canada. For Technical
Assistance or for the name and location of your nearest
Authorized Service Centre call 1-877-BROTHER.

Handling and using special
paper
2
The machine is designed to work well with
most types of xerographic and bond paper.
However, some paper variables may have an
effect on print quality or handling reliability.
Always test samples of paper before
purchasing to ensure desirable performance.
Store paper in its original packaging and keep
it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Some important guidelines when selecting
paper are:
„ Do not use inkjet paper because it may
cause a paper jam or damage your
machine.
„ Preprinted paper must use ink that can
withstand the temperature of the
machine’s fusing process (200 degrees
centigrade).
„ If you use bond paper, paper having a
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded
performance.

because of the way they have been made. A
suitable envelope should have edges with
straight, well-creased folds and the leading
edge should not be thicker than two sheets of
paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be
of baggy or flimsy construction. You should
buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be using the
envelopes in a laser machine.
DO NOT use paper:
• that is highly textured
• that is extremely smooth or shiny
• that is curled or warped

Envelopes can only be fed from the MP tray.
Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.

Chapter 2
Labels
2
The machine will print on most types of labels
designed for use with a laser machine. Labels
should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based
since this material is more stable at the high
temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives
should not come in contact with any part of
the machine, because the label stock may
stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause
jams and print quality problems. No adhesive
should be exposed between the labels.
Labels should be arranged so that they cover
the entire length and width of the sheet. Using
labels with spaces may result in labels
peeling off and causing serious jams or print
problems.
All labels used in this machine must be able
to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a
period of 0.1 seconds.
Label sheets should not exceed the paper
weight specifications described in this User’s
Guide. Labels exceeding this specification
may not feed or print properly and may cause
damage to your machine.
Labels can be fed from the MP Tray.
Types of labels to avoid
2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
IMPORTANT
Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet
exposed because your machine will be
damaged.

Fax & Alternate Number Ringing.
To avoid conflicts between your Brother
machine and your Voice Mail service, do one
of the following:
Get the Distinctive Ring service from your
telephone company. Distinctive Ring is a
feature of your Brother machine that allows a
person with one line to receive fax and voice
calls through two different telephone
numbers on that one line. Brother uses the
term ’Distinctive Ring,’ but telephone
companies market the service under a variety
of names, such as Custom Ringing,
Personalized Ring, Smart Ring, RingMaster,
Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call,
Teen Ring, and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate
Number Ringing. This service establishes a
second telephone number on the same line
as your existing telephone number, and each
number has its own ring pattern.
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 telephone line. If you
need more than one telephone number, it
is cheaper than paying for an extra line.
Each telephone number has its own
distinctive ring pattern, so you will know
which telephone number is ringing. This is
one way you can have a separate telephone
number for your machine.

Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.

Note
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring delay setting on your
external TAD.
7
You can connect an external Telephone
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as
your machine. When the TAD answers a call,
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine.
If it hears them it will take over the call and
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will
let your TAD take a voice message and the
display will show Telephone.
Connections
7
The external TAD must be plugged into the
back of the machine, 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).
The external TAD must answer within four
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings).
This is because your machine cannot hear
the CNG tones until the external TAD has
picked up the call. The sending machine will
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds
longer. We do not recommend using the toll
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs
more than four rings to activate it.
a Plug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the back of the

b Plug the telephone line cord from your

the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not
its handset jack.)

Two-line telephone system

Recording an outgoing
message (OGM)
A two-line telephone system is nothing more
than two separate telephone numbers on the
same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers
can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined
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 telephone and see if it can access
both lines. If it can, you must separate the line
for your machine. (See Easy Receive
7
a Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
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 l51 and Start.”
Note
Converting telephone wall outlets
7
We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving,
then you should re-record the OGM to
include it.
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 telephone 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
Special line considerations

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.
A roll over telephone 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 telephone line in a
preset order.
RJ14
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 would be
transferred to a line that does not have a fax
machine. Your machine will work best on a
dedicated line.
RJ11
RJ14
58
Telephone services and external devices
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.
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.
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

Fax/Telmode, your Brother machine will automatically receive faxes and
produce a pseudo/double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls.
If you do not want your Brother machine to automatically answer any incoming
faxes, you should select the Manualmode. In Manualmode, you must answer
every incoming call and activate the machine to receive faxes.

Another device or service at your location may be answering the call before your
Brother machine answers. To test this, lower the ring delay setting:
„ If the answer mode is set to Fax Onlyor Fax/Tel, reduce the ring delay to
C
„ If the answer mode is set to External TAD, reduce the number of rings
programmed on your answering machine to 2.
„ If the answer mode is set to Manual, do not adjust the ring delay setting.
Have someone send you a test fax:
„ If you received the test fax successfully, your machine is operating properly.
Remember to reset your ring delay or answering machine setting back to your
original setting. If receiving problems recur after resetting the ring delay, then
a person, device, or subscriber service is answering the fax call before the
machine has a chance to answer.
„ If you were not able to receive the fax, then another device or subscriber
service may be interfering with your fax reception or there may be a problem
with your fax line.
If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TADmode) on the
same line as the Brother machine, make sure your answering machine is set up
correctly. (See Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device)

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
Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an external or extension telephone, press your Fax Receive
Code (the 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, Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice Mail,
an answering machine, an alarm system or 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 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 line with no custom features is recommended.

E
Authentication method
E
The Brother machine supports the following methods:
„ Open system
Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.
„ Shared key
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network. The
Brother machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.
E
„ WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-FI Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables
the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES
for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
„ LEAP
Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems,
Inc. and enables the Brother wireless product to associate with access points using CKIP
encryptions.
„ EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel)
has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses user ID and password for
authentication, and symmetric key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-FAST/NONE
MS-CHAPv2 is used for Provisioning, and the method of EAP-FAST corresponding to
second phase authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2
Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses MS-CHAPv2 for the inner
method.
• EAP-FAST/GTC
Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses GTC for the inner method.
Encryption methods
E
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother machine
supports the following encryption methods:
„ WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure
key.
207
„ TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity
check and re-keying mechanism.
„ AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is Wi-Fi authorized strong encryption standard.
„ CKIP
The original Key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Network key
E
There are some rules for each security method:
„ Open system/Shared key with WEP
This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or hexadecimal format.
• 64 (40) bit ASCII:
Uses 5 text characters. e.g.“WSLAN” (this is case sensitive).
• 64 (40) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g.“71f2234aba”
• 128 (104) bit ASCII:
Uses 13 text characters. e.g.“Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)
• 128 (104) bit hexadecimal:
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g.“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”
„ WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and TKIP or AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63
characters.
„ LEAP
Uses User ID and Password.
• User ID: less than 64 characters in length.
• Password: less than 32 characters in length.
