Symbols Used In This Manual
Note or additional information.
The machine may be damaged or may not work correctly if this is not
observed.
Warnings detail precautions you must take to avoid possible personal
injury.
iii
User-Friendly Programming
We have designed the machine with on-screen programming. User-friendly programming helps you
take full advantage of all the functions the machine has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-by-step on-screen prompts to
help you program the machine. All you need to do is follow the prompts as they guide you through
the function menu selections, programming options and settings. Additionally, you can program
settings more quickly by pressing Menu/Set and the menu number using the dial pad.
A complete list of the function selections, options, and settings that are available is provided in the
Alternating Displays
The LCD sometimes alternates between the currently
selected option, and a help message giving brief
FAX: NO. & START
COPY: NO. & COPY
instructions about how to proceed. The display you will
probably see most often is shown on the right, showing you
that when you place a document in the ADF, you can either
dial a number to send it as a fax or press the Copy key to
make a copy of the document.

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use
Guide
Choosing a Location
Place the 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 wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket,
grounded power outlet.
Avoid placing the machine where it may be knocked. 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 the machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the
unit’s memory. Do not connect the 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. Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right hand side of
the machine is not impeded.
•
•
•
•
We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device
to protect the product against damage caused by a lightning strike.
Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Connecting the Power Cord
•
•
This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug.
Since the machine is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect yourself
from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network
by keeping the power to the machine on when you connect it to a
telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move
the machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power
cord.
Preparation and Simple Use Guide 3
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
: Neutral
: Live
Brown
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
or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
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 “L” or coloured red.
Memory Storage
In the event of a power failure, all settings in the GENERAL SETUP, SETUP RECEIVE, SETUP
SEND, SET QUICK-DIAL, REPORT SETTING, REMOTE FAX OPT and
MISCELLANEOUS functions are stored permanently and fax sending and receiving data is stored
a maximum of 4 days.
Multi-Line Connections (PABXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system, or PABX. The machine will work with most PABX or
key systems that allow a two-wire analogue connection. However, we recommend that you have a
separate telephone line for the machine. You can then leave the machine in Fax Only Mode to
receive faxes any time of day or night.
If you are installing the machine to work with a PABX:
1
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.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended that the
Receive Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone
calls.
3
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialling.
4
Using Extension Telephones
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 the 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 the 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.

Preparation and Simple Use Guide 5
Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering machine. When you have an external TAD
on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. The machine “listens” for fax
calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it
doesn’t hear the CNG tones, the machine will not answer the call, and messages can be left on the
TAD by callers in the normal way.
The TAD must answer within a maximum of four rings. However, we recommend two rings as the
TAD setting. The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with
four rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.” Make sure you
carefully follow instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing message. Do not use a “toll-
saver” ring setting on the TAD.
It is important that the TAD is connected via the EXT socket on the machine
or on the line jack unit. Do not use a line doubler on the line jack as this can
cause answering problems.
Connections
1
You may connect an external TAD to the machine, as shown below.

Set your external TAD to two rings or less.
Record the outgoing message (see next page).
Set the TAD to answer calls.
Set the Receive Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH. by pressing Receive Mode.
6
Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual
and automatic fax reception.
1
2
We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds.
Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so reception can be faster.)
3
We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote Activation Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing 51 and Start”
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some
fax machines do not send a fax tone if the call is manually dialled. In these cases you must inform
callers that they must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.
Connecting an External or Extension Telephone
You can connect a separate telephone to the machine, as shown below.

Chain Dialling
You can store very long dialling sequences by dividing them and setting them up as One Touch (for
FAX-8070P only) and Speed Dial numbers. Then while dialling, you can combine two or more One
Touch and/or Speed Dial numbers and even include manual dialling using the dial pad. You can use
these numbers in any combination. The combined number will be dialled, in the order you entered
it, as soon as you press Fax Start.
For example:
For the FAX-8070P, you can store “555” on One Touch Dial key 01 and “7000” on One Touch Dial
key 02. If you press One Touch 01, 02 and Fax Start, you can dial “555 7000”. To temporarily
change a number, you can substitute part of the number with manual dialling using the dial pad. So,
if you press One Touch 01 and press 7001 using the dial pad, you can dial “555 7001”.
For the FAX-8070P, MFC-9030 and MFC-9070, you can store “555” on Speed Dial #01 and “7000”
on Speed Dial #02. If you press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 1, Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 2 and
Fax Start, you can dial “555 7000”. To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the
number with manual dialling using the dial pad. So, if you press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 1 and
press 7001 using the dial pad, you can dial “555 7001”.
Using access codes is easy. Sometimes you may want to choose from the among several long
distance carriers when you make a call; rates may vary depending upon the time and destination. To
take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance carriers as One Touch
and Speed Dial numbers.

You will need to connect an external telephone to select Fax/Tel (F/T) or Manual
Mode.
Receive Mode
For
1. FAX ONLY
Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no
telephone calls). The machine should be connected on its own
line. The machine automatically answers every call as a fax
call. You cannot receive a voice call, but, if you have
connected an External telephone, you can still dial out and
make voice calls. (This setting is recommended if the machine
is on its own dedicated line.)
2. FAX/TEL (F/T)
Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages
(with an External Telephone) and few phone calls. 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 will need to set the Ring Delay and F/T
Ring Time features (on the following pages).
3. TAD:ANSWER MACH.
(with an External Answering
Machine)
This is the only setting in which you can use an external
answering machine. Your telephone answering device
answers every call. Once the external telephone answering
device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it
detects fax tones, fax messages are printed.
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.
4. MANUAL
Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few
(with an External Telephone) fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear
fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call
automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).

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.
Fax Detect (with an External or Extension Telephone)
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Fax Start or

Broadcasting
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax numbers. Using the
Menu/Set key, you can include up to 8 One Touch locations (FAX-8070P), up to 100 Speed Dial
locations, and up to 50 manually dialled numbers (maximum of 158 (FAX-8070P) or 150 (MFC-
9030 and MFC-9070) locations if you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or credit
card numbers). However, available memory will vary with the types of jobs in memory and numbers
of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the maximum locations available,
you will not be able to setup transmissions using dual access and the timer.
The easiest way to broadcast is to first combine frequently used One Touch (FAX-8070P) and Speed
Dial numbers as a Group, which uses up a One Touch key (FAX-8070P) or a Speed Dial #.
(Remember, you can have up to six Groups and Quick Dial numbers can be included in more than
one Group). Then by pressing Menu/Set between each location, you can include One Touch (FAX-
8070P), Speed Dial, Groups, and manual dialling (using the dial pad) in the same broadcast. Use the
Search/Speed Dial to help you choose the numbers easily.
After the broadcast is completed, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically to let you know
the results.

Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting
Groups allow you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by pressing only one One
Touch Group key and Fax Start (FAX-8070P) or five keys (Search/Speed Dial, #, the two-digit
location, and Fax Start). You can store up to six of the Groups on your One Touch keys (FAX-
8070P) or Speed Dial, and then broadcast by pressing only the One Touch key (FAX-8070P) or
Search/Speed Dial, #, the two-digit location (and Fax Start). First, you will need to store each
fax number as a One Touch or Speed Dial number. Then, you can combine them into a Group. Each
Group uses up a One Touch or Speed Dial number. You can have up to six Groups, or you can assign
up to 107 (FAX-8070P) or 99 (MFC-9030 and MFC-9070) numbers to one large Group. (See

Operation from an External or
Extension Telephone
An external phone is a telephone that is plugged into the machine (either into the machine’s EXT
socket or into the back of the connector that plugs into the telephone wall socket).
An extension phone is another phone on the same phone number as the machine, but plugged into a
different telephone wall socket. For example, the machine may be connected to a phone line in your
study, and you may have another phone on the same line (and same phone number) in your kitchen.
This feature enables you to answer the phone in the kitchen if it rings while you are making a coffee,
knowing that you can transfer the call to the machine if the incoming call is a fax.
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make the machine take over by
using the Activation Code. When you press the Activation Code 5 1, the machine starts to receive
a fax. If you set FAX DETECT to ON, you don’t have to press
5 1, just hold the handset and
If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-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 Fax/Tel

If you’re at an extension phone, you will need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and press

separate phone number for the machine.
The machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate a
second phone number (on the same phone line) just for receiving faxes.
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax

11 Using the machine as a Printer
(For MFC-9030, MFC-9070 Only)
Special Printing Features
®
Windows Printing
®
®
The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional and
®
Windows NT Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with the MFC. You
®
can easily install them into your Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports
our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows applications, and allows you
®
to set various printer settings including economy printing mode and custom paper size.
Enhanced Memory Management
The machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compresses graphic
data and downloads font data efficiently into the MFC’s memory. You can avoid memory errors and
print most full-page, 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the machine’s
standard memory.
Printing From Your PC
Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder
The machine’s multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and organizer paper, post
card, labels and transparencies. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the
print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.
I
Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. If there are more pages, the machine begins
to print the next page automatically.
You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in your
application software.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper
size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.
Using the machine as a Printer (For MFC-9030, MFC-9070 Only) 59
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex)
®
®
The supplied printer drivers for Windows 95/98/98SE/Me and Windows NT Workstation
Version 4.0 support manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the
printer driver.)
®
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows
driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper,
straighten it well or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. If
the paper “double-feeds” (sends two sheets at once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet
while the paper is feeding.
When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur
or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.
Loading Envelopes
If you load envelopes into the Multi-purpose sheet feeder, make sure they are inserted in the
direction shown below.
Load the envelopes
with the lever down
60 Chapter 11
Paper Tray
The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper tray at the front of the
machine. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet immediately after printing, to prevent a
paper jam or curled sheets.
Reset Key
Press this key to clear data from the memory.
Simultaneous Printing/Faxing
The machine can print data from your computer while sending or receiving a fax, or while scanning
information into the computer. However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper,
it pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying or fax receiving is complete. Fax
sending continues during PC printing.

Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort® for Brother and ScanSoft™ TextBridge®
™
®
®
ScanSoft Paper Port for Brother is a document management application. You will use PaperPort
®
to view scanned documents. PaperPort has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing system that will
help you organize your documents. It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of different
®
®
formats for printing or filing. PaperPort can be accessed through the PaperPort program group.
™
®
™
®
The complete ScanSoft PaperPort User Guide, including ScanSoft TextBridge OCR, is in the
Manuals section on the CD-ROM. This chapter is only an introduction to the basic operations.
™
®
™
When you install MFC Software Suite, ScanSoft PaperPort for Brother and ScanSoft
®
TextBridge OCR are installed with it automatically.
®
™
®
To Uninstall PaperPort and ScanSoft TextBridge
Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and the
®
Install/Uninstall tab. Select PaperPort from the list and click the Add/Remove
button.
™
®
Viewing Items in ScanSoft PaperPort for Brother
®
PaperPort provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail, a small
graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder. Items in the selected folder appear on the
®
®
®
PaperPort Desktop. You can see PaperPort items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort items (files
created using other applications).
®
Non-PaperPort items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item;
®
a non-PaperPort item is represented by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.
®
Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can open a PaperPort item by double-
clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate application on your computer to display it, you
®
can also double-click a non-PaperPort item to open it.
90 Chapter 14
Desktop View displays items
as thumbnails
Page View displays each item
as a full page
Organizing Your Items in Folders
®
PaperPort has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of
®
folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort item or a
®
non-PaperPort item:
I
I
Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure in the Folder View. You use this pane to select folders
and view their items in Desktop View.
You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the
mouse button and the item is stored in that folder.
I
I
Folders can be “nested”—that is, stored in other folders.
When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort MAX files and other files) appear
®
on the Desktop.
®
I
You can also use Windows Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.
Links to Many Other Applications
®
PaperPort automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a
“working link” to them. The Link Bar at the bottom of Desktop view shows icons of those linked
applications. To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by
®
the icon. This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort .
®
If PaperPort does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can
®
manually create a link using the Create New Link command. (See PaperPort Help for more
information about creating new links.)

Using ScanSoft TextBridge OCR
(Converting Image Text to Text You Can Edit)
™
Software by:
ScanSoft
™
®
®
ScanSoft TextBridge OCR is automatically installed when you install PaperPort on your
computer.
®
®
PaperPort can quickly convert the text on a PaperPort item (which is really just a picture of the
®
text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application. PaperPort uses the optical
™
®
®
character recognition application ScanSoft TextBridge , which comes with PaperPort —OR—
®
PaperPort uses your application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item,
or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.
®
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort ’s built-in OCR application, or
you can use your own OCR application.
Importing Items from Other Applications
®
In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort in a variety of ways and convert
®
them to PaperPort (MAX) files in several different ways:
I
I
Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft Excel.
Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows Bitmap (BMP) or Tag Image File
®
Format (TIFF).
Exporting Items in Other Formats
®
You can export or save PaperPort items in several popular file formats. You can export formats
BMP, PCX, DCX, JPG, TIF, PDF, PNG, FPX, HFX, or self-viewing. For example, you could create
a file for an Internet Web site and export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use JPEG files for
displaying images.
Exporting an Image File

Select the Export command from the File pull-down menu in the PaperPort window. The
Export ‘XXXXX’ As dialog box will be displayed.

Using ScanSoft PaperPort for Brother and ScanSoft TextBridge 93
Scan Type
Set the image Type to Black & White for text or line art. For photographic images, set the image type
to Grey (Error Diffusion) or True Grey.
Grey (Error Diffusion) is used for documents that contain photographic images or graphics. (Error
Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images by placing black dots in a specific matrix
instead of true grey dots.)
True Grey mode is used for documents containing photographic images or graphics. This mode
requires the most memory and longest transfer time.
Brightness
Adjusting the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother MFC Software Suite offers
100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting.
You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten the image or to the
left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box to set the settings.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the document again.
If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the document again.
Contrast
The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the grey scale settings, but it
is not available when Black & White is selected as the grey Scale.
Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas
of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) reveals more
detail in grey areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.

button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning area. This is required when you want to crop an
image when scanning.

Resolution
Choose the scanning resolution from the Resolution pop-up menu. Higher resolutions take more
memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer scanned image.
Color Type
Black & White—Set the image Type to Black & White for text or line art. For photographic images,
set the image type to Grey (Error diffusion) or True Grey.
Grey (Error Diffusion)—is used for documents that contain photographic images or graphics. (Error
Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images by placing black dots in a specific matrix
instead of true grey dots.)
True Grey—also is used for documents containing photographic images or graphics. This mode is
more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of grey. It requires the most memory and longest transfer

17 For DOS User
(For MFC-9070 Only)
How to Use the MFC with Your DOS Application Software
Before working with your application software that runs on DOS, check that the machine’s name
appears in the printer selection of your application software. If the machine is not listed, you must
install the printer driver that corresponds to HP LaserJet 5P’s emulations.
The following table shows the combination of printer driver and emulation mode. To get the most
out of this machine, you should install an HP printer driver in your application software.

Be sure to choose the proper printer driver in your application software.
Be sure the printing resolution is set to 600 dpi in your DOS application software.
What Does the Remote Printer Console Do?
The Remote Printer Console (RPC) is a utility program that can run in the DOS environment:
This program allows you to change various printer settings such as emulation, print quality, fonts,
page setup etc., from your computer screen. Since most DOS applications have a Printer Settings
menu that overrides the settings made by the RPC, you may not have to use this utility program. This
utility program is useful for application software that does not control the printer’s settings and
features.
Installing the Remote Printer Console
Before you install the program, make sure you have the following hardware and software to install
the program:
DOS
Version 3.3 or later
Monitor
Option
EGA/VGA or compatible
Mouse; the mouse driver must be installed.
(You can also operate the program with the keyboard.)

It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the toner low warning.
Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult
with Brother dealer for service. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not
spill out of the cartridge. When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic
waste.
It is recommended that you clean the machine when you replace the toner.
The display shows TONER EMPTY to indicate that the toner is empty. Once this indication
appears, the machine will not resume printing until you have installed a new toner cartridge.
Steps for Replacing Toner Cartridge
After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of the machine

Replacing the Drum Unit
The machine uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the screen displays CHANGE
DRUM SOON, the drum unit is nearly at the end of its life. Prepare a new drum unit to replace the
current one. You may need to order one from your Brother dealer.
Even if the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue to print without
replacing the drum unit for a while. However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print
quality even before CHANGE DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replaced. You
should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit.
When removing the drum unit, handle carefully because it contains toner.
When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the machine.
The drum unit is a consumable, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There
are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature,
humidity, type of paper and toner that you use and the number of pages per print
job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 8,000 pages at 1 page per
job. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual
drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by
your drum.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance 135
For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner, and the product should be used only in a clean,
dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.
After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of the machine
will be extremely HOT! So please be careful.

ATENCIÓN
For Your Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin
power point which is effectively grounded through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-conductor and be correctly wired to provide
connection to ground. Incorrectly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and
that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding
of the power, consult a qualified electrician.
Disconnect device
This product must be installed near a socket outlet that is easily accessible. In case of emergencies,
you must disconnect the power cord from the socket outlet in order to shut off power completely.
Important Safety Information 141
IMPORTANT
If the socket outlet is not compatible with the mains plug as fitted, then remove the plug from the
mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the replacement plug is intended to take a fuse
then fit the same fuse as the original.
If a moulded plug is severed from the power cord then it should be destroyed because a plug with
cut wires is dangerous if plugged into a live socket outlet. Do not leave it where a child might find it.
In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same rating
as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.
WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED.
The wires in the mains cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:

About Fax Machines
Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft,
intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You will hear them when you dial and press Fax Start, and
they continue for about 60 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 will 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 60 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVING. If the 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, the machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 60 seconds, and the
screen continues to display RECEIVING. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop/Exit.
When the 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 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 60 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
(or answering machine) to the 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 the machine for this feature to work.
