WARNING! Miscellaneous approval conditions  
National and European laws state that only approved apparatus may be connected to  
lines provided by Public Telecommunications Operators (PTOs). In the case of analogue  
Group 3 fax machines such as your Brother fax, this usually implies compliance with  
national technical requirements, and an approval certificate issued by the national  
authorities in the country of original sale/import by Brother.  
Any marking or certification of your fax machine to harmonised European “CE Mark”  
requirements for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), and for user safety according  
to the European LVD (Low Voltage Directive), ARE NOT indicative of approval for  
connection to public telecommunications lines in a country other than that in which the  
equipment is approved.  
Brother advises that this product will not function correctly in a country other than that  
in which it was originally offered for sale, and does not offer any warranty in the event  
that this product is used on public telecommunication lines in a country other than that  
in which it is approved.  
Brother further advises that any use of this equipment in such other countries contravenes  
national and European laws and in so using, the user renders himself or herself liable to  
prosecution and possible forfeiture of equipment according to local regulations.

Introduction

UsingThis Manual  
Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine (FAX) or multifunction  
center (MFC).  
This machine has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen  
prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your  
machine to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this  
manual.  
Additionally, your machine has a Help Key. Press Help/Memory 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 at 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.

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.  
FaxTones and Handshake  
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones,  
(CNG tones)—soft, beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when  
you dial and press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after  
dialling. 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 fax 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 RECEIVE. If your fax machine is set to the  
FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax  
receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine  
continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen  
continues to display RECEIVE. To cancel the receiving mode, press  
Stop.  
I N T R O D U C T I O N  
3
When your fax machine is in FAX/TEL (F/T) mode, it answers with a  
short beep. After this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and,  
if heard, it will respond 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 dialled. 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 fax  
line, your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is  
answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter  
for connecting a TAD to your fax machine.  
ECM (Error Correction Mode)  
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine 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 machine for this feature to  
work.

Choosing a Location  
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a  
place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a  
telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet.  
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near  
heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose  
the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not  
connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or  
automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the  
unit’s memory. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets on the  
same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the  
power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base  
units of cordless phones.  
Caution  
Never install telephone wiring during a thunder storm.

Connect the Power Cord  
When you connect the power, the screen displays 01/01 00:00 FAX.  
NOTICE:  
1) This fax must be earthed using a 3-pin plug.  
2) Since the machine is earthed through the power outlet, you can  
protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on  
the telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on  
when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect  
yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the  
telephone line first, and then the power cord.  
3) Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We  
recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC  
power line as well as on the telephone line, or unplug the lines during  
a lightning storm.  
IMPORTANT:  
If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to  
fit an appropriate type, you must discard the moulded plug  
immediately having cut it off, in order that it is not  
inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a  
shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this  
appliance are coloured in accordance with the following  
code.  
Green-and-yellow : Earth  
Blue  
Brown  
: Neutral  
: Live  
As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not  
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the  
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be  
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by  
the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol  
green or green-and-yellow.  
or coloured  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the  
terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured  
black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter “Lor coloured  
red.  
Connect theTelephone Line  
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labelled LINE on  
the left side of the machine. Connect the other end to a wall jack.  
I N S T A L L A T I O N  
17  
IMPORTANT:  
The PC interface is a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) port  
as defined in EN41003. It must only be connected with a  
SELV circuit; only the MFL Pro for Fax cable kit (available  
in an option pack), satisfies this requirement.  
Multi-Line Connections (PABXs)  
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively  
simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PABX (Private  
Automatic Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company  
that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine  
for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine. You can  
then leave the machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive faxes any time of  
day or night.  
If the machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your  
installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents  
the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received.  
If you are installing the machine to work with a PABX:  
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all  
circumstances with a PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be  
reported first to the company that handles your PABX.  
1
2
3
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is  
recommended that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All  
incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.  
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialling telephone  
service.  
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)  
This equipment has a REN value of 1. A BT line has a “bell ringing”  
capacity, or REN, of 4. This means that adding downstream-connected  
extension telephones and/or extension bells to a total REN of greater  
than 4 may cause a reduction in the bell volume. In extreme cases, it  
may cause the auto-answer facility of the machine to fail.  
Therefore, up to three additional extension telephones (each assuming a  
REN of 1), may be connected downstream of your machine. For an  
explanation of “downstream connection, read “Using extension  
telephones” which follows.  
Unless otherwise marked, a telephone provided by BT may be assumed  
to have a REN value of 1.  
C H A P T E R T W O  
18  
Using ExtensionTelephones  
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension  
telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in  
addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is  
straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this  
arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which  
is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone  
picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call.  
Additionally, remote activation may not operate reliably in such a simple  
configuration.  
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a  
transmission at a pre-set time). This pre-set job may coincide with  
someone picking up an extension handset.  
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange  
modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension devices  
are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a master/slave  
configuration. In such a configuration, this machine can always detect  
whether a telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line  
during that time. This is known as “telephone off-hook detection.”  
The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 below, and the  
recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure 2.  
This new connection configuration can be arranged by your contacting  
BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer or  
a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply  
explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a  
normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be inserted  
into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector provided as  
part of the line cord assembly.

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line––your machine  
and TAD will both try to control the line.  
Outgoing Message (OGM) of ExternalTAD  
Timing is important in recording this message.  
Record four 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.)  
1
Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone  
answering device (ideally less than 10 seconds).  
2
C H A P T E R T W O  
20  
End your message by giving your Remote Activation Code for  
people sending manual faxes. For example:  
3
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing  
51.”  
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received  
automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone in  
manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they must enter  
the remote activation code to send a fax.  
Sequence of ExternalTAD Reception  
When you leave your machine set in TAD mode, all calls will be  
answered by the externally connected telephone answering device, and  
fax calls will be received automatically provided they come from a  
machine which sends standard CalliNG tone (CNG).  
Incoming Call  
The call is picked up

Although this equipment can use either Pulse or Tone signalling, only the  
performance of the Tone signalling is subject to regulatory requirements  
for correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the  
equipment is set to use the Tone signalling for access to public or private  
emergency services. The Tone signalling also provides faster call set up.  
Setting the Date andTime  
Your machine displays the date and time, and prints it on every fax you  
send.

Basic Receiving Operations  
Select Answer Mode  
Manual––You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press  
Start or key 5 1 from an extension phone to begin receiving the fax,  
then hang up.  
Fax Only––The machine automatically answers every call as a fax call.  
You cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice  
call.  
See  
“F/T (Fax/  
Tel) Mode  
Only”  
F/T––The machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax,  
it prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with an F/T pseudo-  
ring, different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up  
the call. If you select this setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and  
F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages).  
in this  
chapter  
TAD (For FAX-920 and MFC-925)––This is the only setting in which  
you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering  
device is connected to your machine, and answers every call. Once the  
external telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the machine listens  
for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it prints the fax.  
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device  
(TAD). Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.  
TAD (For FAX-930 and FAX-940 E-mail)––The FAX-930/940 E-mail  
provides you with a built-in digital Message Manager for fax and voice.  
When you set the machine to answer calls, it will record up to 15 minutes  
of messages. For more information about Message Manager operation,

Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to F/T Mode, all  
phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring  
Delay.  
You can let the machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If  
it’s a fax call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine  
signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of time you selected  
in F/T Ring Time.  
Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine  
continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.  
Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in F/T  
mode, because some fax machines do not send the standard Group 3  
calling tone (“CNG”).  
C H A P T E R F I V E

IMPORTANT! This machine does not re-generate ringing conditions to  
any extension telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring  
during the period set on ring delay.  
Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing  
Announcement (F/T MESSAGE)  
(Only for FAX-930 and FAX-940 E-mail)  
This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external TAD)  
when someone calls and your machine is set to F/T mode. Although  
callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a message. To erase  
the announcement, follow the directions in chapter 8, “Erasing the  
Outgoing Message”.

Press Stop to exit.  
It is not necessary to have an outgoing message. The F/T mode will work  
fine without one. It is only to help the caller understand the status of your  
machine.  
For example, you can leave a message that says:  
“Hello, please wait, we are trying to connect you. If you wish to send a  
fax, please wait until you hear a fax tone and press the Start key, or, press  
51 (your three-digit remote activation code) and press the Start key.”  
Fax Detect  
See  
“Operation

and  
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you  
answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait  
for several seconds. When you see RECEIVE on the fax screen or when  
you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected  
to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your machine does the  
rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically,  
even if you lift the handset of an extension phone or a phone or TAD  
connected to the machine. Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive  
the call only if you’ve answered it at the machine. Selecting OFF means  
you’ll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Start or by  
pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine.

so only as long as the original document is not longer than  
35 cm. If the original is longer than 35 cm, the data will not  
be reduced and will carry over to print on a second page.  
When you use Auto Reduction and you receive an incoming  
document that is smaller than your recording paper, no  
reduction will take place, and you will get the same size  
recorded as the original.

Advanced Receiving Operations  
Operation from an External or Extension  
Telephone  
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make  
your machine take over by using the Activation Code. When you press  
the Activation Code 5 1, the machine starts to receive a fax.  
See  
“F/T Ring  
Time”  
If the machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over,  
use the Deactivation Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.  
The Deactivation Code is used only in F/T mode.  
in this  
chapter  
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a  
fax. At the machine phone, press Start, then hang up. At an extension  
phone, press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up.  
At an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be  
disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your  
caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)  
If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is  
being received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions  
unreadable.  
Extension telephones are not permitted in some countries, in such a case  
the deactivation code will not work.  
See  
“Outgoing  
Message  
(OGM) of  
External  
TAD”  
The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you  
are using an external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end  
with the statement “to send a fax, press 5 1”.  
chap. 2  
For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only  
When the machine is in F/T mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T  
pseudo-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the machine, you  
can lift the handset to answer.  
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the  
F/T Ring Time and press # 5 1 between the F/T pseudo-rings. If no one  
is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back  
to the machine by pressing 5 1.

Changing Remote Codes  
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset  
Activation Code is 5 1. The preset Deactivation Code is # 5 1.  
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD  
remotely, try changing the Activation Code from 5 1 to # # # and the  
Deactivation Code from # 5 1 to 1 1 1. You cannot use the same number  
for the Activation Code and the Deactivation Code.

Caller ID (Caller IDentification)  
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a  
display of the caller’s phone number as the telephone rings. It is a fast  
way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed,  
because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine’s memory. In  
addition to the standard Caller ID features, you can select a Caller ID and  
have your machine dial the number for you.  
NOTE: To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service  
at your local telephone company, if available.  
To PABX Users :  
Calling line identification signals are not generally delivered  
to your Brother fax machine if it is connected behind a  
private branch exchange (PBX) system or other call routing  
device.  
Advantages of Caller ID  
For Business  
All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls.  
Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or  
provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false  
orders or acceptance of false identification.

How Does the Caller IDWork?  
The Caller ID Appears on the DisplayWhenYour  
Telephone Rings  
As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone  
number. Once you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You  
will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.  
Helpful Hints  
If “# UNAVAILABLE” appears on the display, it means that the call  
came from outside your caller ID service area. *  
If “# WITHHELD” appears on the display, it means the caller  
intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *  
If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, “PICK UP  
PHONE” will remain on the display.  
* Depends on network Function.  
The Caller ID is Stored inYour Machine’s Memory  
The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in  
the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will  
cause the oldest ID to be erased.  
The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the  
following.  
Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply.  
You can scroll through the Caller IDs on the display and select one  
for your machine to dial. (See page 49)  
Printing the Caller ID List.  
You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in  
memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller  
ID), and type of call (Comment).  
NOTE: Please set up the number of rings to more than 02 in the Ring  
Delay (See “Setting the Ring Delay” in this chapter.) before you  
use the Caller ID. If you set up the number of rings to 01, you  
cannot receive the Caller ID.

Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call  
Reply  
You can display the caller IDs that are stored in the memory and select  
the caller you want your machine to dial. Call Reply is a convenient  
feature whereby your Brother fax can dial back a voice/fax call “on-  
hook” to the opposite party associated with a Caller ID number which  
has been captured into memory. This saves you from having to copy and  
dial back to that number manually. (You can skip to Step 2 below by

To Activate Certain Network ServicesWhen Using Call

It may be desired (in order to activate certain network services), to insert  
a special prefix to be dialled in front of the Caller ID number when

are :  
* Your outgoing Caller ID withheld  
The required prefix, typically three to six digits (including # and  
symbols) in length, may be inserted after displaying the desired Caller ID  
in step 4 on the previous page. (You can enter the prefix up to 20 digits  
on the machine. ) The complete number string including the prefix will

the called party is busy or doesn’t answer.  
Call Reply to DDI numbers via Caller ID  
Calls derived from a caller ID number to destinations connected to a  
“Direct Dial Inward (DDI)” private exchange system may fail to connect,  
or may be answered in the first instance by the called premises’ main  
switchboard rather than by the intended extension. Brother is not liable  
for any call charges thus incurred.

Polling  
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another machine. You can  
use your machine to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone  
poll your machine.  
All parties involved in polling need to set up their machines to  
accommodate polling. When someone polls your machine to receive a  
fax, they pay for the call; if you poll someone’s fax machine to receive a  
fax, you pay for the call. (See “Setup for Polling Transmit” in chapter 6.)  
Secure Polling  
Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and others’ from falling  
into the wrong hands while the fax machines are set up for polling. You  
can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax machine. Your  
four-digit ID number must be entered on the fax machine that polls for  
your documents.  
Some machines do not respond to the polling function.  
Setup for Polling Receive  
Polling Receive is when you call another fax machine to receive a fax  
from it.

Super Tel-Index  
The upper row (1-4) of Quick-Dial keys have dual functions. When used  
with Super Tel-Index they can store a total of 32 names and numbers.  
This is known as Super Tel-Index dial.  
Once you have registered Super Tel-Index names and numbers on Quick-  
Dial keys 1-4, you can search for a name alphabetically using the LCD.  
This is an ideal way to give up to four people their own private  
“directory” of fax and phone numbers. You could have one Super Tel-  
Index key for mum’s use, one for dad’s, one for Paul’s phone and fax  
numbers and one for Jane’s. Or you might use one Super Tel-Index key  
to store numbers for your friends, another Super Tel-Index key to store  
numbers for your family and another to store numbers for restaurants.

Message  
Manager Plus  
(Only for FAX-930)

Message Manager Plus  
Message Manager Plus works as an additional enhancement of Message  
Manager and provides you with Personal Mailbox and Voice-on-  
Demand. Up to five Personal Mailboxes are available. Voice-on-Demand  
stores voice information massages for someone calling you. These  
memory boxes allow you to store voice messages that provide callers  
with more information automatically and effectively, so you don’t have  
to answer the call yourself.  
Start with a Plan  
Before you can record your outgoing messages (OGMs), you need a  
plan. Decide what you will store in each Voice Information memory box  
such as directions to your home or business, and the number you will  
give it. Choose who will have a personal mailbox. Tell each person with  
a personal mailbox to prepare to record an OGM and choose a four-digit  
password.  
Prepare one 2nd Level OGM that identifies the type of information in  
each Voice Information memory box number and another 2nd Level  
OGM that identifies the name and box number of each person with a  
Personal Mailbox.  
Finally, prepare a 1st Level OGM that identifies your company (or  
family) and directs callers to either Voice-on-Demand (Voice  
Information) or Personal Mailbox. Also explain they can just leave a  
general voice message or send a general fax after the beep.

IfYou Are Having Difficulty withYour Machine  
If you think there is a problem with your machine, make a copy first. If  
the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your machine. Check  
the difficulties below and follow the troubleshooting tips.  
Printing or Receiving Faxes  
Condensed Print and Horizontal Streaks;  
Top and Bottom of Sentences Cut Off  
If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with  
static or interference on the phone line. Ask the other party to send a  
fax again. If the copy looks bad, clean the scanner area. If there is  
still a problem, call Brother dealer for service.  
Vertical Black LinesWhen Receiving  
The sender’s scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to  
see if the problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from  
another fax machine. If the problem continues, contact the Brother  
dealer for service.  
Phone Line or Connections  
Fax Machine Does Not AnswerWhen Called  
Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your  
setup (either FAX, F/T (FAX/TEL) or TAD). Check for dial tone. If  
possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no  
answer, check the telephone line cord connection. Connect a standard  
telephone handset to the machine’s telephone jack. If there is no  
ringing when you call your machine, call your Telephone Company  
to check the line.  
No DialTone on the Handset  
Press Speaker Phone––OR––Lift the handset. If you hear no dial  
tone, check telephone line cord connections at the machine and wall  
jack. Check that the handset is connected to the machine’s handset  
jack. Test the wall jack with another single line telephone. If no dial  
tone on the wall outlet, call your Telephone Company.

Sending Faxes  
Poor Transmitting Quality  
Try changing your resolution to FINE or SUPERFINE (see “Setup  
Send” of chapter 6). Make a copy to verify the machine’s scanner  
operation.  
Dialling Does Not Work  
Check for a dial tone.  
Change TONE/PULSE setting (see “Initial Setup” of chapter 4).

Check power cord connection.  
Send a manual fax by pressing Speaker Phone––OR––Lifting the  
handset, and dialling the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones  
before pressing Start.  
Vertical Black LinesWhen Sending  
Use your machine to make a copy. If the copy shows the same  
problem, the scanner area is dirty. Lift the front cover and check the  
document path. Clean the scanner’s white pressure tape and the glass  
strip under the tape using isopropyl alcohol and a line-free cloth.  
Handling Incoming Calls  
See  
“For F/T
