1 C H A P T E R O N E Introduction Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine. 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/Broadcastor Help to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.
2 CHAPTER ONE Symbols Used in This Manual Note or additional information. The machine may be damaged or may not work correctly if this is not observed. Warning. Damage can result if this is not observed. 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.
INTRODUCTION 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 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.

INTRODUCTION 1 2 Liquid Crystal Display Reduce Displays messages to help you set up and operate your machine. Reduces copies depending upon the ratio you select: AUTO, 100%, 50%, 75%, 87%, 93% and MANUAL. AUTO sets the machine to calculate automatically the reduction ratio that fits the size of your paper. MANUAL allows you to enter the reduction ratio from 50%– 100% using increments of 1%.

10 CHAPTER ONE
11 2 C H A P T E R T W O Installation Packing List Make sure you have the following items: *Filter Core IEEE-1284 Compliant Bi-directioned Cable (For MFC-9650 Only) (Example for the U.K.) *Cable Tie *Important Notice Drum Unit Assembly Document Support Power Cord Telephone Wire Cord Document Tray with Extension Operations Manual MFL Unimessage Pro Manual (For MFC-9650 Only) CD-ROM (For MFC-9650 and FAX-8750P Only) * ...
12 CHAPTER TWO 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 wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket, grounded power outlet. Avoid placing your 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.
I N S TA L L AT I O N Caution 1 We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the product against damage caused by a lightning strike. 2 Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. 3 Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
14 CHAPTER TWO 2 Open the front cover of the machine. 3 Insert the drum unit assembly into the machine. 4 Close the front cover.
I N S TA L L AT I O N Attach the Trays 1 Attach the document support and document tray with extension, and unfold the extension, which holds documents in place. Document Support Document Tray with Extension 2 Unfold the Front Output Bin Extension, which holds printed pages in place.
16 CHAPTER TWO Loading Paper in Multi-purpose Paper Cassette 1 Pull the paper cassette completely out of the machine. 2 Adjust the paper guides at the right and rear of the paper cassette for the paper size you want.
I N S TA L L AT I O N 3 Fan the paper well. Load paper in the paper cassette. Press down on the paper to flatten it in all four corners, keeping the paper level below the guide. The cassette can hold up to 250 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper. Maximum Paper Height Guide 4 Slide the paper cassette into the machine until it locks into place. Acceptable Paper Size : A4, Letter, B5, A5, A6, Executive Weight : 64 g/m2 – 105 g/m2 Thickness : 0.08 – 0.
18 CHAPTER TWO Acceptable Paper Size : 70 x 116 mm – 216 x 356 mm Weight : 64 g/m2 – 158 g/m2 Thickness : 0.08 – 0.20 mm Setting Up the Machine Follow the instructions below to connect power cord, and telephone line. (Example for the U.K.) 1 Connect the power cord. You must use the supplied power cord. When you connect the power, the screen displays the date and time.
I N S TA L L AT I O N 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.
20 CHAPTER TWO 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 your machine. You can then leave the machine in Fax Only Mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
I N S TA L L AT I O N 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 your machine.
22 CHAPTER TWO 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.
I N S TA L L AT I O N 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 We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds. 2 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE 157 Drum Life Considerations for Your Brother Fax Machine Your Brother fax machine uses a drum and toner assembly for document printing. The toner life is directly dependent upon the amount of black printing on the printed pages. The drum will last for 77 hours of continuous printing time, which in normal use will be up to 20,000 A4 sized pages.
158 CHAPTER SIXTEEN 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Follow these steps to replace the drum unit: 1 Open the front cover. 2 Remove the old drum unit. Place the drum unit on a drop cloth or large piece of disposable paper to avoid spilling and scattering the toner. 3 Pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit assembly while holding down the lock lever with your right hand.
