Brother™ Color Laser One-Year On-Site Limited Warranty
(USA only)
What Brother will do:
If the problem reported concerning your
Machine and/or accompanying Consumable
and Accessory Items is covered by this
warranty and
if you first reported the problem
to Brother or an Authorized Service Center
within the applicable warranty period, Brother
or its Authorized Service Center will evaluate
your report of a possible defect to determine
whether a defect exists, and if it does exist,
Brother or an Authorized Service Center will
provide “On-site Warranty Service” during
“Normal Working Hours” and will repair the
Machine and/or accompanying Consumable
and Accessory Items at no charge to you for
parts or labor. “On-site Warranty Service” shall
consist of the remedial service, as
necessitated by normal usage, to restore this
product to good operating condition at your
location and does not guarantee uninterrupted
operation of this Product. “Normal Working
Hours” shall mean 9:00am to 5:00pm (local
time), Monday through Friday, excluding legal
and local holidays observed by Brother or the
Authorized Service Center.
If the Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items are not
covered by this warranty, you will be charged
for any service and/or replacement
parts/products at Brother’s or the Authorized
Service Center’s then current published rates.
The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and
exclusive remedies under this warranty.
What you must provide:
Reasonable cooperation with the Brother
Representative in troubleshooting as they
diagnose the problem, provide access to this
Product at reasonable times and provide
adequate working space including heat, light,
ventilation, electric current and outlets for the
use of the Brother representative.
Limitations:
Brother is not responsible for damage to or
loss of any equipment, media, programs or
data related to the use of this Product.
Except for the repair as described above,
Brother shall not be liable for any direct,
indirect, incidental or consequential damages
or specific relief. Because some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of
consequential or incidental damages, the
above limitation may not apply to you.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR
ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESSED BY
AFFIRMATION, PROMISE, DESCRIPTION,
DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND
ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS
ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY
DISCLAIMED.
This Limited Warranty is the only warranty
that Brother is giving for this Product. It is
the final expression and the exclusive and
only statement of Brother’s obligations to
you. It replaces all other agreements and
understandings that you may have with
Brother or its representatives.
This warranty gives you certain rights and
you may also have other rights that may
vary from state to state.
This Limited Warranty (and Brother’s
obligation to you) may not be changed in
any way unless you and Brother sign the
same piece of paper in which we (1) refer
to this Product and your bill of sale date, (2)
describe the change to this warranty and
(3) agree to make that change.

ON-SITE LIMITED WARRANTY
(Canada Only)
For a limited on-site warranty of 1 year labour and parts from the date of purchase, Brother
International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its authorized on-site service
providers, will repair or replace (at Brother’s sole discretion) this Laser Printer/MFC/Fax
machine free of charge if defective in material or workmanship.
This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in Canada. This limited Warranty
does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, toner cartridges and
drum units, OPC belts, fixing units, print heads, paper feed rollers, transfer rolls, cleaning
rollers, waste toner packs, oil bottles) or damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse or
improper installation or operation or any damage caused from service, maintenance,
modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a Brother Authorized Service
Representative, or if shipped out of the country. Damage caused by the use of non-Brother
toner is not covered under this warranty. This limited warranty ceases when this machine is
rented, sold, or otherwise disposed of. Operation of the laser printer/MFC/Fax in excess of
the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed abuse
and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. The Laser
Printer/MFC/Fax machine will be serviced on-site. Canadian Proof of Purchase in the form of
a Sales Receipt must be provided if requested by the service personnel. In the event that
geographical location does not permit us to provide on-site service to you, Brother reserves
the right to exchange your machine with an equivalent or better one through a courier service.
When shipping or transporting your Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine, please refer to your
Operation Manual for the proper packaging procedures. Failure to remove the Toner
Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit, waste toner packs or oil bottles on applicable models) during
shipping or transport will cause severe damage to the Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine and
will void the Warranty. Improper packaging may cause severe damage to the machine during
shipping and will void the warranty.
BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATIONS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY WAIVED.
No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its Authorized
Service Centres, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty
or modify this warranty. The warranty states Brother’s entire liability and your exclusive
remedy against Brother for any failure of the Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine to operate
properly. Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or
delivery of this Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine shall be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from
the use of or inability to use the product, even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the
possibility of such damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of
liability, such limitation, may not apply to you.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from Province to Province.
Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized
Service Centres throughout Canada. For Technical
Assistance or for the name and location of your nearest
Authorized Service Centre call 1-877-Brother.

Acceptable paper and
other print media 2
Print quality may vary according to the type of
paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print
media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper,
bond paper, recycled paper, glossy paper,
labels or envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
DO NOT put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
For proper printing, you must choose the
same paper size from your software
application as the paper in the tray.
Avoid touching the printed surface of the
paper immediately after printing.
Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small
quantity to make sure the paper is
suitable.

Handling and using special
paper 2
The machine is designed to work well with
most types of xerographic and bond paper.
However, some paper variables may have an
effect on print quality or handling reliability.
Always test samples of paper before
purchasing to ensure desirable performance.
Store paper in its original packaging and keep
it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Some important guidelines when selecting
paper are:
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may
cause a paper jam or damage your
machine.
Preprinted paper must use ink that can
withstand the temperature of the
machine’s fusing process 392 degrees
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).
If you use bond paper, paper having a
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded
performance.
When you are using glossy paper, put only
one sheet at a time in the MP tray to avoid
a paper jam.
Types of paper to avoid 2
IMPORTANT
Some types of paper may not perform well
or may cause damage to your machine.
DO NOT use paper:
that is highly textured
that is extremely smooth or shiny
that is curled or warped
1 A curl of 0.08 in. (2 mm) or greater
may cause jams to occur.
that is coated or has a chemical finish
that is damaged, creased or folded
that exceeds the recommended weight
specification in this guide
with tabs and staples
with letterheads using low temperature
dyes or thermography
that is multipart or carbonless
that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed
above, they may damage your machine.
This damage is not covered under any
Brother warranty or service agreement.

Envelopes 2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers
will be suitable for your machine. However,
some envelopes may have feed and print-
quality problems because of the way they
have been made. A suitable envelope should
have edges with straight, well-creased folds
and the leading edge should not be thicker
than two sheets of paper. The envelope
should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy
construction. You should buy quality
envelopes from a supplier who understands
that you will be using the envelopes in a laser
machine.
We recommend that you print a test envelope
to make sure the print results are what you
want.
Types of envelopes to avoid 2
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use envelopes:
that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or
an unusual shape
that are extremely shiny or textured
with clasps, staples, snaps or tie
strings
with self-adhesive closures
that are of a baggy construction
that are not sharply creased
that are embossed (have raised writing
on them)
that were previously printed by a laser
machine
that are pre-printed on the inside
that cannot be arranged neatly when
stacked
that are made of paper that weighs
more than the paper weight
specifications for the machine
with edges that are not straight or
consistently square
with windows, holes, cut-outs or
perforations
with glue on surface as shown in figure
below
with double flaps as shown in figure
below
with sealing flaps that are not folded
down when purchased
with sealing flaps as shown in figure
below
with each side folded as shown in
figure below
If you use any of the types of envelopes
listed above, they may damage your
machine. This damage may not be
covered under any Brother warranty or
service agreement.

Labels 2
The machine will print on most types of labels
designed for use with a laser machine. Labels
should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based
since this material is more stable at the high
temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives
should not come in contact with any part of
the machine, because the label stock may
stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause
jams and print quality problems. No adhesive
should be exposed between the labels.
Labels should be arranged so that they cover
the entire length and width of the sheet. Using
labels with spaces may result in labels
peeling off and causing serious jams or print
problems.
All labels used in this machine must be able
to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees

wrinkled or an unusual shape.
IMPORTANT
Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet
exposed because your machine will be
damaged.
Label sheets should not exceed the paper
weight specifications described in this

Receive modes 5
Choose the correct Receive Mode 5
The correct Receive Mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber
services (Voice Mail, Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the
Brother machine.
Receiving a fax 5
Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?
Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have other names for this
service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call,
Data Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. (See Distinctive Ring
on page 38 for instructions on setting up your machine using this feature.)
Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility
that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. (See
Voice Mail on page 37 for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.)
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother
machine?
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are
stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAD as your receive mode.
(See Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) on page 40.)
Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your receive mode. (See
Fax Only on page 34.)
Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?
Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?
The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the
same line. Choose Fax/Tel as your receive mode. (See Fax/Tel on page 34.)
Important Note: You can not receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering
machine when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?
Choose Manual as your receive mode. You control the telephone line and must answer every call
yourself. (See Manual on page 34.)

Voice Mail 6
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone
line as your Brother machine, Voice Mail and
the Brother machine will conflict with each
other when receiving incoming calls.
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Brother
machine is set to answer after 2 rings, then
your Brother machine will answer first. This
will prevent callers from being able to leave a
message in your Voice Mail.
Similarly, if your Brother machine is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Voice Mail is set
to answer after 2 rings, then your Voice Mail
will answer first. This will prevent your Brother
machine from being able to receive an
incoming fax, since Voice Mail cannot
transfer the incoming fax back to the Brother
machine.
To avoid conflicts between your Brother
machine and your Voice Mail service, do one
of the following:
Get the Distinctive Ring service from your
telephone company. Distinctive Ring is a
feature of your Brother machine that allows a
person with one line to receive fax and voice
calls through two different telephone
numbers on that one line. Brother uses the
term ’Distinctive Ring,’ but telephone
companies market the service under a variety
of names, such as Custom Ringing,
Personalized Ring, Smart Ring, RingMaster,
Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call,
Teen Ring, and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate
Number Ringing. This service establishes a
second telephone number on the same line
as your existing telephone number, and each
number has its own ring pattern. Typically,
the original number rings with the standard
ring pattern and is used for receiving voice
calls, and the second number rings with a
different ring pattern and is used for receiving
faxes. (See Distinctive Ring on page 38.)
OR
Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to
"Manual". Manual Mode requires that you
answer every incoming call if you want to be
able to receive a fax. If the incoming call is a
telephone call, then complete the call as you
normally would. If you hear fax sending tones
you must transfer the call to the Brother
machine. (See Using external and extension
telephones on page 42.) Unanswered fax
and voice calls will go to your Voice Mail. (To
set the machine in MANUAL Mode, see
Choose the correct Receive Mode
on page 32.)

Distinctive Ring 6
Distinctive Ring is a function of your Brother
machine that allows a person with one line to
receive fax and voice calls through two
different phone numbers on that one line.
Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring," but
telephone companies market the service
under a variety of names, such as Smart
Ring, Ring Master or Ident-a-Ring. This
service establishes a second telephone
number on the same line as your existing
telephone number, and each number has its
own ring pattern. Typically, the original
number rings with the standard ring pattern
and is used for receiving voice calls, and the
second number rings with a different ring
pattern and is used for receiving faxes.
Note
You must pay for your telephone
company's Distinctive Ring service before
you program the machine to work with it.
Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.
What does your telephone company’s
‘Distinctive Ring’ do? 6
Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring
service allows you to have more than one
number on the same telephone line. If you
need more than one telephone number, it
is cheaper than paying for an extra line.
Each telephone number has its own
distinctive ring pattern, so you will know
which telephone number is ringing. This is
one way you can have a separate telephone
number for your machine.
Note
Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.
What does Brother’s ‘distinctive ring’
do? 6
The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring
feature that allows you to use your machine to
take full advantage of the telephone
company’s Distinctive Ring service. The new
telephone number on your line can just
receive faxes.
Note
You must pay for your telephone
company’s Distinctive Ring service before
you program the machine to work with it.
Do you have Voice Mail? 6
If you have Voice Mail on the telephone line
that you will install your new machine on,
there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail
and the machine will conflict with each other
while receiving incoming calls. However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so
both Voice Mail and the machine can work
together without any problems. If each one
has a separate telephone number, neither will
interfere with the other’s operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions below to
‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern
they give you. This is so your machine can
recognize its incoming calls.
Note
You can change or cancel the Distinctive
Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it
off temporarily, and turn it back on later.
When you get a new fax number, make
sure you reset this feature.

Before you choose the ring pattern to
register 6
You can only register one Distinctive Ring
pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns
cannot be registered. The ring patterns below
are supported by your Brother machine.
Register the one your telephone company
gives you.
Note
Ring Pattern #1 is often called Short-Short
and is the most commonly used.
If the ring pattern you received is not on
this chart, please call your telephone
company and ask for one that is
shown.
The machine will only answer calls to its
registered number.
The first two rings are silent on the
machine. This is because the fax must
<<listen>> to the ring pattern (to compare
it to the pattern that was ‘registered’).
(Other telephones on the same line will
ring.)
If you program the machine properly, it will
recognize the registered ring pattern of the
‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and
then answer with a fax tone. When the
‘voice number’ is called, the machine will
not answer.
Registering the distinctive ring pattern
Very important! 6
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to On, your Distinctive Ring number will
receive faxes automatically. The receive
mode is automatically set to Manual and you
cannot change it to another receive mode
while Distinctive Ring is set to On. This
ensures the Brother machine will only answer
the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere
when your main telephone number is called.

Connecting an external
TAD (telephone
answering device)
6
You can connect an external Telephone
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as
your machine. When the TAD answers a call,
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine.
If it hears them it will take over the call and
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will
let your TAD take a voice message and the
display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings).
This is because your machine cannot hear
the CNG tones until the external TAD has
picked up the call. The sending machine will
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds
longer. We do not recommend using the toll
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs
more than four rings to activate it.
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, the
TAD must be connected to the EXT. jack of
the machine.
Before you connect an external TAD
(telephone answering device), remove the
protective cap (2) from the EXT. jack on the
machine.

you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you
are using Distinctive Ring).
a Plug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the back of the
machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
b Plug the telephone line cord from your
external TAD into the back of the
machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make
sure this cord is connected to the TAD at
the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not
its handset jack.)
c Set your external TAD to four rings or
less. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
d Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
e Set the TAD to answer calls.
f Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choose the
correct Receive Mode on page 32.)
Recording an outgoing
message (OGM) 6
a Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
c 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
press l51 and Start to send a fax.”
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving,
then you should re-record the OGM to
include it.
Multi-line connections (PBX) 6
We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate properly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
your PBX.

Go to http://www.brother.com/original/index.html for instructions on how to return your used
consumable items to the Brother collection program. If you choose not to return your used
consumable, please discard the used consumable according to local regulations, keeping it
separate from domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.
We recommend placing used consumable items on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally
spilling or scattering the material inside.
If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended paper, the life of
consumable items and machine parts may be reduced.
The projected life of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19798. Frequency of
replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage
and type of media used.

Replacing the drum unit A
Order No. DR-310CL
A new drum unit can print approximately
25,000 Letter or A4 size single-sided pages.
Note
There are many factors that determine the
actual drum life, such as the temperature,
humidity, type of paper, type of toner used
and so on. Under ideal conditions, the
average drum life is estimated at
approximately 25,000 pages. The actual
number of pages that your drum will print
may be significantly less than this
estimate. 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.
For best performance, use only genuine
Brother toner. The machine should be
used only in a clean, dust-free
environment with adequate ventilation.
Printing with a non-Brother drum unit may
reduce not only the print quality but also
the quality and life of the machine itself.
Warranty coverage does not apply to
problems caused by the use of a
non-Brother drum unit.
Drum Error A
The corona wires have become dirty. Clean
the corona wires in the drum unit. (See
Cleaning the corona wires on page 74.)
If you cleaned the corona wires and
Drum Error was not cleared then the drum
unit is at the end of its life. Replace the drum
unit with a new one.

Printing or printing received faxes
Difficulties Suggestions
Condensed print
Horizontal streaks
Top and bottom sentences are
cut off
Missing lines
Usually this is caused by a poor telephone connection. If your copy looks good,
you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone
line. Ask the other party to send the fax again.
Poor print quality See Improving the print quality on page 131.
Vertical black lines when receiving The corona wires for printing may be dirty. Clean the corona wires on the drum
unit. (See Cleaning the corona wires on page 74.)
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, call Brother Customer Service at 1-877-BROTHER
(1-877-276-8437) (in USA) or 1-877-BROTHER (in Canada).
Received faxes appear as split or
blank pages.
If the received faxes are divided and printed on two pages or if you get an extra
blank page, your paper size setting may not be correct for the paper you are using.
(See Paper Size and Type on page 18.)
Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax in Chapter 4 of the
Advanced User's Guide.)

The machine does not answer
when called.
Make sure the machine is in the correct receive mode for your setup. (See
Receive Mode settings on page 35.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your
machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord
connection. If you do not hear ringing when you call your machine, ask your
telephone company to check the line.
Receiving Faxes
Difficulties Suggestions
Cannot receive a fax. Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing the Hook key. If you hear
static or interference on your fax line, please contact your local telephone
company.
Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into
the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL
or VoIP services, please contact your service provider for connection instructions.
Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode. This is determined by the
external devices and telephone subscriber services you have on the same line as
the Brother machine. (See Receive Mode settings on page 35.)
If you have a dedicated fax line and want your Brother machine to automatically
answer all incoming faxes, you should select Fax Only mode.
If your Brother machine shares a line with an external answering machine, you
should select the External TAD mode. In External TAD mode, your Brother
machine will automatically receive incoming faxes and voice callers will be able to
leave a message on your answering machine.
If your Brother machine shares the line with a Voice Mail subscriber service,
please see Voice Mail on page 37.
If your Brother machine is on a line with the Distinctive Ring subscriber service,
please see Distinctive Ring on page 38.
If your Brother machine shares a line with other telephones and you want it to
automatically answer all incoming faxes, you should select the Fax/Tel mode. In
Fax/Tel mode, your Brother machine will automatically receive faxes and
produce a pseudo/double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls.
If you do not want your Brother machine to automatically answer any incoming
faxes, you should select the Manual mode. In Manual mode, you must answer
every incoming call and activate the machine to receive faxes.

B
Cannot receive a fax.
(continued)
Another device or service at your location may be answering the call before your
Brother machine answers. To test this, lower the ring delay setting:
If the answer mode is set to Fax Only or Fax/Tel, reduce the ring delay to
1 ring. (See Ring Delay on page 35.)
If the answer mode is set to External TAD, reduce the number of rings
programmed on your answering machine to 2.
If the answer mode is set to Manual, DO NOT adjust the ring delay setting.
Have someone send you a test fax:
If you received the test fax successfully, your machine is operating properly.
Remember to reset your ring delay or answering machine setting back to your
original setting. If receiving problems recur after resetting the ring delay, then
a person, device, or subscriber service is answering the fax call before the
machine has a chance to answer.
If you were not able to receive the fax, then another device or subscriber
service may be interfering with your fax reception or there may be a problem
with your fax line.
If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD mode) on the
same line as the Brother machine, make sure your answering machine is set up
correctly. (See Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device)
on page 40.)
1 Plug the telephone line cord directly from the wall telephone jack to your
Brother machine’s LINE jack.
2 Remove the protective cap from your Brother machine’s EXT jack, and then
plug the telephone line cord from your answering machine into the EXT jack.
3 Set your answering machine to answer within 4 rings.
If you are having problems receiving faxes or voice messages, set your
answering machine to answer within 2 or 3 rings.
4 Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.
Record five seconds of silence at the beginning of your outgoing
message.
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
End your outgoing message with your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or
press l51 and Start to send a fax.
5 Set your answering machine to answer calls.
6 Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Receive
Mode settings on page 35.)
Make sure your Brother machine's Easy Receive feature is turned On. Easy
Receive is a feature that allows you to receive a fax even if you have answered
the call on an external or extension telephone. (See Easy Receive on page 36.)
If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone
line, try changing the Compatibility setting to Basic(for VoIP). (See
Telephone line interference / VoIP on page 130.)
Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock Settings.

Sending faxes
Difficulties Suggestions
Poor sending quality. Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check your
machine’s scanner operation. If the copy quality is not good, clean the scanner.
(See Cleaning the scanner in Appendix A of the Advanced User's Guide.)
Transmission Verification Report
says RESULT:NG.
There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again.
If you are sending a PC-Fax message and get RESULT:NG on the Transmission
Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To free up extra
memory, you can turn off fax storage (see Changing Remote Fax Options in
Chapter 4 of the Advanced User's Guide), print fax messages in memory (see
Printing a fax from the memory in Chapter 4 of the Advanced User's Guide) or
cancel a delayed fax or polling job (see Checking and canceling waiting jobs in
Chapter 3 of the Advanced User's Guide). If the problem continues, ask the
telephone company to check your telephone line.
If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone
line, try changing the Compatibility setting to Basic(for VoIP). (See
Telephone line interference / VoIP on page 130.)
Sent faxes are blank. Make sure you are loading the document properly. (See Loading documents
on page 26.)
Vertical black lines when sending. Black vertical lines on faxes you send are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid
on the glass strip. (See Cleaning the scanner in Appendix A of the Advanced
User's Guide.)
Cannot send a fax. Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock Settings.
Handling incoming calls
Difficulties Suggestions
The machine ‘Hears’ a voice as a
CNG Tone.
If Easy Receive is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may
mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling
and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing
Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Easy Receive to Off. (See Easy
Receive on page 36.)
Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an external or extension telephone, press your Fax Receive
Code (default setting is l51). When your machine answers, hang up.
Custom features on a single line. If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice Mail,
an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single
telephone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving
faxes.
For Example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and
its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax,
the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Brother’s ECM feature
should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone
system industry and is common to all devices that send and receive information
on a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight interruption is
crucial to your business, a separate line with no custom features is recommended.

Paper handling difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
The machine does not feed paper.
The LCD shows No Paper or a
Paper Jam message.
If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,
you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the
stack over and put it back into the paper tray.
Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver.
Clean the paper pick-up roller. See Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers in
Appendix A of the Advanced User's Guide.
If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see
Error and maintenance messages on page 99.
The machine does not feed paper
from the MP tray.
Make sure that MP tray is chosen in the printer driver.
Fan the paper well and put it back in the tray firmly.
How do I print on envelopes? You can load envelopes in the MP tray. Your application must be set up to print
the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or
Document Setup menu of your application. (See your application’s manual for
more information.)
What paper can I use? You can use thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper,
glossy paper, envelopes and labels that are made for laser machines. (For details,
see Acceptable paper and other print media on page 21.)
There is a paper jam. Clear the jammed paper. (See Error and maintenance messages on page 99.)
Print quality difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
Printed pages are curled. Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the
paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the
paper tray.
Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the print media type you
are using. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 21.)
Printed pages are smeared. The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,
or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Acceptable
paper and other print media on page 21 and Basic tab in the Software User's
Guide.)
Printouts are too light. If this problem occurs when making copies or printing received faxes, turn
Toner Save mode to Off in the machine menu settings. (See Toner Save in
Chapter 1 of the Advanced User's Guide)
Remove the check in the Toner Save Mode check box in the Advanced tab

Improving the print quality B
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (MENU, Printer, Print Options,
Test Print). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the
interface cable connections or try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed
from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have
a print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendations.
Note
Using non-Brother supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine
reliability.
a To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you use
paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other print media
on page 21.)
