1 Introduction 1 Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother multi-function center (MFC). This MFC has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through programming your MFC. However, you can use your MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual. Additionally, your MFC has a Reports key. Press Reports and 1 to print a list of basic operational steps.
Test Sheet Procedure and Product Registration (For USA Only) After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST SHEET included with your MFC, and then fax it to Brother’s Automated Fax Response System as your first transmission. This will verify that your MFC is properly installed. To get a response, you must have set up your Station ID. (See Setting Station ID, page 4-2.
MFC-5100C Control Panel Overview 2 1 3 6 4 1 Fax Keys: Fax Resolution Sets the resolution when you send a fax. Receive Mode Use to select how the MFC will handle incoming calls. Redial/Pause Redials the last number called. Also inserts a pause in auto dial numbers.

5 Navigation Keys: Menu/Set Lets you access the Menu and Programming mode and stores your settings in the MFC. or Press to scroll forward or backward to set a menu selection. Also, you can use these keys to do an alphabetical search for the names of stored numbers. or Volume Press to scroll through the menus and options. When the machine is idle, you can press these keys to adjust the ring volume. 6 Copy Quality Indicator Lights These lights show the copy quality you selected.
About Fax Machines If you’re a first-time MFC user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily. Custom Features Do You Have Voice Mail on the Phone Line? If you have Voice Mail on the phone line on which you will install your new MFC, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the MFC will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.
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 LCD shows RECEIVING. If your MFC is set to the FAX mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues to show RECEIVING. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop/Exit.
2 Assembly and Connections 2 Packing List Make sure you have the following items: Paper Wire Extension Document Tray with Extension Ink Cartridges Filter Core for Bi-directional IEEE 1284 Cable Tie Card Stock Support Telephone Line Cord Document Cover Paper Tray Scanner Cover Software License Agreement Owner’s Manual Brother Color Suite CD-ROM Test Sheet (For USA Only) Quick Setup Guide Accessory Order Form Caution Do NOT throw away the filter core and cable tie by accident.
Choosing a Location Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the MFC near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 50°F and 95°F (10°–35°C). Avoid placing your MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
Important Safety Instructions 1 Do not use this product near appliances that use water, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. 2 Avoid using a telephone other than a cordless type during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Paper The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in the MFC. To ensure the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

Assembly Removing the Protective Yellow Bar 1 Lift the cover toward the back. Scanner Cover Protective Yellow Bar 2 Pull the protective yellow bar out of the machine. Protective Yellow Bar Caution Do not throw away the protective yellow bar. You will need it for future transportation. 3 Close the top cover, and then close the control panel cover.
Setting up the MFC 1 Connect the power cord. There is no ON/OFF switch. When you plug in the power cord, the power goes on and the LCD shows: CHECK CARTRIDGE WARNING ■ The MFC must be grounded using a 3-prong plug. ■ Since the MFC is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your MFC on when you connect it to a telephone line.
3 Attach the paper wire extension to the multi-purpose sheet feeder. 2 Paper Wire Extension 1 4 Attach the plastic paper tray to the paper output slot, and then pull out the extension. Caution Please attach the paper tray to prevent paper jams and maintain print quality.
Loading Paper in the Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder (Paper Cassette) You can load up to 100 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper if you use the cut sheet. (See Paper Capacity of Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder, page 2-4.) 1 Fan the paper well. Gently insert the paper. Make sure the print side is toward you and the paper level is stacked below the paper guide line. Paper Guide Line 2 Press and slide the guide to fit the paper width.
Installing the Ink Cartridges 1 Check that you turned on the power (by plugging in the power cord). The LCD shows: CHECK CARTRIDGE 2 Open the Scanner cover of the MFC by pulling the scanner cover release lever toward you and lifting the scanner cover. 3 After a few seconds, the print head will move left to its replacement position. Scanner Cover Scanner Cover Release Lever 4 Remove the protective blue tape over the colored ink cartridge covers.
■ Do not throw way the white shipping cover. You will need it for future transportation. We recommend that you install the ink cartridges from left to right in this order: Black, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta. 6 Open the Black ink cartridge bag and take out the ink cartridge. 7 Carefully remove the sealing tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge. Be sure to peel the tape in the direction away from you.
9 Repeat Steps 6 to 8 to install each color ink cartridge. 10 After installing all ink cartridges, close the Scanner cover until it clicks into place. Your MFC will enter a “head cleaning” cycle for approximately four minutes. The MFC will go online to set the ink dot counter for each color, so the MFC can warn you with a message when ink is running low. Caution Make sure the paper is loaded in the multi-purpose sheet feeder. The LCD shows CLEANING.
Note If INK EMPTY shows on the LCD after you install the ink cartridges, check to make sure the ink cartridges are installed correctly. Connecting the MFC Connecting an External Telephone Although your MFC does not have a handset, you can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your MFC. Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the left side of the MFC. Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows TELEPHONE.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line (unless you have the Distinctive Ring service). Connections The external TAD must be plugged into the back side of the MFC, into the jack labeled EXT. Your MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring). 1 Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back side of the MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
3 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 Note 51 and Start.” We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the MFC cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your MFC has trouble receiving, then you must rerecord the OGM to include it.
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets 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 phone numbers to it. The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet.
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 MFC. Triplex Adapter Two Line Phone External Two Line TAD Fax Machine You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the 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.
Custom Features on Your Phone Line If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Caller ID, Caller Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operation of your MFC. (See Custom Features on a Single Line, page 19-8.
3 On-Screen Programming 3 User-Friendly Programming We have designed your MFC with on-screen programming using navigation keys.

N OT I C E The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such messages clearly contain, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machines or such business, other
Setting the Beeper Volume You can set the beeper to LOW, HIGH or OFF. The default setting is LOW.

Press Stop/Exit. Turning On Automatic Daylight Savings Time You can set the machine to change automatically for Daylight Savings Time.
5 Setup Receive 5 Basic Receiving Operations Choosing the Receive Mode There are three different receive modes for your MFC. You may choose the mode that best suits your needs by pressing Receive Mode repeatedly until the LCD shows the setting you want to use. LCD How it works FAX ONLY (automatic receive) The MFC automatically For dedicated fax lines. answers every call as a fax. EXT.
To Select or Change Your Receive Mode 1 Press Receive Mode. The LCD shows your current selection. FAX ONLY EXT.TEL/TAD MANUAL 2 Continue to press Receive Mode until your new selection appears. After two seconds the LCD returns to the date and time display, along with your new Receive Mode setting. If you are changing the Receive Mode while in another operation, the LCD returns to that operation.
Easy Receive When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Black Fax Start when you answer a fax call. Selecting ON allows the MFC to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. When you see RECEIVING on the LCD or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your MFC does the rest.
Advanced Receiving Operations Operation from Extension Telephone If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT. jack, you can make your MFC take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the MFC starts to receive a fax. (See Easy Receive, page 5-3.) If you answer a call at an extension or external phone, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax.
Polling Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use your MFC to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your MFC. All parties involved in polling need to set up their fax machines to accommodate polling. When someone polls your MFC 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. Some fax machines do not respond to the polling function.
Canceling a Scheduled Job You can cancel tasks you’ve scheduled, such as Delayed Fax or Polling Transmit. (See Canceling a Job in Memory, page 6-7.) 1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 6. Any waiting jobs appear on the LCD. If no job is waiting, the LCD shows NO JOB WAITING. 6.REMAINING JOBS 2 If you have more than two jobs waiting, press or to select the job you want to cancel, and then press Menu/Set. —OR— If you have only one job waiting, go to Step 3. 3 Press 1 to cancel—OR—Press 2 to exit without canceling.
Telephone Services Your MFC supports the Distinctive Ring telephone service offered by some telephone companies. If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Caller ID, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, or an alarm system custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the operation of your MFC. (See Custom Features on a Single Line, page 19-8.) If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully.
Do You Have Voice Mail? If you have Voice Mail on the phone line on which you will install your new MFC, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the MFC will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, this Distinctive Ring feature allows the use of more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the MFC can coexist peacefully. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s work.
Very Important If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the MFC in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring Feature. Here’s why: MANUAL mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral». When the MFC is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring Feature can be activated. The Distinctive Ring feature is actually an answering mode.
6 Setup Send 6 Before You Begin You can send a fax from the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or from the scanner glass.

The letters above and to the right of the cursor will be deleted.
Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting Groups allow you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by pressing only five keys (Search/Speed Dial, #, the two-digit location, and Black Fax Start). First, you’ll need to store each fax number as a Speed Dial number. Then, you can combine them into a Group. Each Group uses up a Speed Dial number. You can have up to six Groups, or you can assign up to 39 numbers to one large Group. (See Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-1 and Broadcasting, page 7-5.
Dialing Options When you dial using an auto dial number, the LCD shows the name you’ve stored, or if you haven’t stored a name, the fax number you’ve stored.

14 Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort® for Brother/TextBridge® 14 (For Windows® Only) Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort® and TextBridge® ScanSoft™ PaperPort® 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 graphics and text documents. It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing.
Viewing Items ScanSoft™ 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 nonPaperPort® items (files created using other applications).
Links to Many Other Applications ScanSoft™ 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. A typical use of the Link Bar is to select an item and then fax it. This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort®.
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: ■ 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).
Accessing the Scanner To choose TWAIN-32 Brother MFL Pro Color as your scanner driver, select it under the Select scanner—OR—Select source option in your software. From the PaperPort® window, select Acquire from the File drop-down menu or select the TWAIN or Scan button. The TWAIN-32 Brother MFL-Pro Color Setup dialog box will appear: Scanning a Document into the PC 1 Place the original face up in the ADF, or face down on the scanner glass.
Settings in the Scanner Window Resolution: Select the scanning resolution from the Resolution drop down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer scanned image.
Contrast: The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the gray 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) ravels more detail in gray areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.
PreScanning an Image PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version of the image will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image so you can see how it will look. The PreScan button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from the image. When you are satisfied with the preview, select the Start button from the scanner window to scan the image.

Using Brother TWAIN Scanner Driver with Your Apple® Macintosh® The Brother MFC software includes a TWAIN Scanner driver for Macintosh®. This Macintosh® TWAIN Scanner driver can be used with application that supports the TWAIN specification. You can use PaperPort® for scanning.
Accessing the Scanner Run your PaperPort® software. You will see the PaperPort® icon in the upper right hand corner of your screen. The first time you use the Brother TWAIN driver, set it as the default by choosing the Select Source, then click the PaperPort® icon. Afterward, for each original you scan choose Acquire Image by clicking the PaperPort® icon. The Scanner setup dialog box will appear. Scanning an Image into Your Macintosh G3, G4 or iMac 1 Place the original in the ADF.
Settings in the Scanner Window Image 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. (Each model has different resolutions. See Specification.) Color Type Black & White—Set the image Type to Black&White for text or line art. For photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error diffusion) or True Gray.
Scanning Area Set the Size to one of the following: • Letter (8.5 × 11 inches) • A4 (210 × 297 mm) • Legal (8.5 × 14 inches) • A5 (148 × 210 mm) • B5 (182 × 257 mm) • Executive (7.25 × 10.5 inches) • Business Card (90 × 60 mm) • Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 × 0.35 inches to 8.5 × 14 inches) After you choose a custom size, you can adjust the scanning area. Click and hold the mouse button as you drag the mouse to crop the image. Width: Enter the width of the custom size.
Adjust Image Brightness Adjust the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother TWAIN Scanner driver 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 setting. Click OK. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness value and scan the document again.
Perceptual Matching—All the colors of a given gamut are scaled proportionally to fit within another gamut. This intent pretty much maintain the balance between the colors in the image. This intent is the best choice for realistic images, such as scanned photographs. Saturation Matching—The relative saturation of colors is maintained from gamut to gamut. So basically the colors are shifted to the edge of the gamut to get the most saturated color possible.
PreScanning an Image PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image, so you can see how it will look. The PreScan button is used to preview an image for any unwanted portions. When you are satisfied with the preview, click Start to scan the image. 1 Insert the original face up in the ADF, or face down on the scanner glass. 2 Click PreScan.

19 Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance 19 Troubleshooting IMPORTANT For technical and operational assistance, you must call the country where you purchased the MFC. Calls must be made from within that country. Error Messages As with any sophisticated office product, errors may sometimes occur. If this happens, your MFC often identifies the problem and displays an error message. The table below explains the most common error messages. You can correct most problems by yourself.
ERROR MESSAGES ERROR MESSAGE CAUSE ACTION INK EMPTY One or more of the ink cartridges are empty. The MFC will stop all print operations (such as printing copies, faxes and jobs from the PC). While memory is available, black and white faxes will be received into memory. If a sending machine has a color fax, the MFC’s “handshake” will request that the fax be sent as black and white; if the sending machine has the feature to convert it, the color fax will be received into memory as a black and white fax.
