1 C H A P T E R 1 O N E Introduction Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother FAX/MFC. This FAX/MFC has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your FAX/MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual. Additionally, your FAX/MFC has a Help Key. Press operational steps and functions.
2 CHAPTER ONE 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 send and receive faxes easily. Fax Tones and Handshake When someone is sending a fax, the FAX/MFC sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones) — soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Start , and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing.

2 C H A P T E R T W O Installation Caution 1 Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. 2 We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to 3 4 5 6 7 protect the product against lightning storms. Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for a wet location. Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
6 CHAPTER TWO Packing List Make sure you have the following items: Telephone Line Cord Telephone Handset Handset Curled Cord Paper Wire Extension Starter Printing Cartridge (Up to 100 pages) Document Wire Extension Document Support Paper Support Owner’s Manual Multi-Function Link CD-ROM* Remote Control Access Card Quick Reference Card Paper* *........
INSTALLATION Choosing a Location Place your FAX/MFC 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 FAX/MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the FAX/MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
8 CHAPTER TWO Attach paper support 1 Attach the paper wire extension. 2 Open the paper cover. Insert the paper support into the grooves of the cover as shown. Paper Support Paper Wire Extension Paper Cover Install the printing cartridge 1 Push the OPEN button to open the top cover. 2 Remove the paper stopper from the printing cartridge. Indented arrow White shaft Blue shaft Black Spool Stopper 3 Turn the black spool on the right clockwise to tighten the ribbon, as shown.
INSTALLATION 4 Install the printing cartridge by inserting the indented first and placing the cartridge into its four holders. Indented OPEN button Black Spool Holder 5 Press down on both sides of the cover to close it securely. The starter cartridge prints approximately 100 pages. Install paper The paper cassette can hold about 200 sheets of 20-lb. paper. 1 Open the cover of the paper holder. 2 Place up to 200 sheets of paper in the paper holder.
10 CHAPTER TWO Acceptable Paper Size: Letter, Legal and A4 Weight: 17 lb. -24 lb. Thickness: .0031 inches - .0039 inches Connect the handset Connect the curled handset cord to the bottom of the handset and the side of the FAX/MFC. *PC I/F jack is for use only with Multi-Function Link, which is included with the MFC 1870MC and MFC 1970MC, or with the optional software. If you have not purchased the optional Multi-Function Link (also called “Missing Link”) for your FAX 1570MC, then ignore this jack.
INSTALLATION 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 telephone line and electrical cords during a lightning storm. Connect the telephone line Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the left side of the FAX/MFC. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.
12 CHAPTER TWO Converting Telephone Wall Outlets There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. 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 phone numbers to it. The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet.
INSTALLATION 4 Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the left side of the FAX/MFC. Triplex Adapter Two Line Phone . Two Line External TAD FAX/MFC You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the FAX/MFC’s wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter.
14 CHAPTER TWO 2 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. 3 The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service. Custom Features on Your Phone Line If you have Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service, alarm system or any other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the operation of your FAX/MFC.
INSTALLATION Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your FAX/MFC and TAD will both try to control the line. Connections The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the FAX/MFC, into the jack labeled EXT. Your FAX/MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack. 1 Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the FAX/ MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
16 CHAPTER TWO Outgoing Message (OGM) on External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the way your external TAD handles both manual and automatic fax reception. 1 Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
