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: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper,
thicker paper, bond paper, recycled 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.
Use labels that are designed for use in
laser machines.

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 °F
(200 °C).
If you use bond paper, paper having a
rough surface, or paper that is wrinkled or
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded
performance.
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.

Chapter 2
22
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.
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.
Envelopes can only be fed through the MP
tray.
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 the surface as shown in
the figure below
• with double flaps as shown in the figure
below
• with sealing flaps that are not folded
down when purchased
• with each side folded as shown in the
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.
Occasionally you may experience paper
feed problems caused by the thickness,
size and flap shape of the envelopes you
are using.
Loading paper
23
2
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 °F (200 °C)
for a period of 0.1 seconds.
Labels can only be fed through the MP tray.
Types of labels to avoid 2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
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
User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this
specification may not feed or print
correctly and may cause damage to your
machine.
• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have
previously been used or are missing a few
labels on the sheet.

Receive modes 5
Note
You can use four sizes of paper for printing faxes: Letter, A4, Legal or Folio.
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 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
uu 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 uu 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) uu 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 uu page 32.)
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 uu page 32.)
Important Note: You can not receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering
machine if you choose 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 uu page 32.)

Voice Mail 7
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 uu 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 uu 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
uu page 30.)

Distinctive Ring 7
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? 7
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? 7
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? 7
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.
Telephone services and external devices

7
Before you choose the ring pattern to
register 7
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 correctly, 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! 7
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)
7
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.

The external TAD must be plugged into the

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 on your machine
to External TAD. (See Choose the
correct Receive Mode uu page 30.)
Recording an outgoing
message (OGM) 7
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) 7
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 correctly 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.

Storing numbers 8
You can set up your machine to do the
following types of easy dialing: One Touch,
Speed Dial and Groups for Broadcasting
faxes. You can also specify the default
resolution for each One Touch and Speed
Dial number. When you dial a quick dial
number, the LCD shows the name, if you
stored it, or the number. A scan profile can
also be stored along with the fax number.
If you lose electrical power, the quick dial
numbers stored in the memory will not be lost.
A scan profile is the resolution and other scan
settings that you choose when you store a
number. For example, you can select
Standard, Fine, S.Fine or Photo for the
Fax/Tel option and Standard, Fine or Photo
for IFAX. Or, you can select Color 100 dpi,
Color 200 dpi, Color 300 dpi, Color 600 dpi,
Color Auto, Gray 100 dpi, Gray 200 dpi, Gray
300 dpi, Gray Auto, B&W 300 dpi, B&W 200

Replacing the drum unit A
Order No. DR-720
A new drum unit can print approximately
30,000 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 30,000 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.

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 uu page 33.
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 uu page 37.
If your Brother machine is on a line with the Distinctive Ring subscriber
service, please see Distinctive Ring uu 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.
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 uu page 33.
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 correctly.
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.

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.

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 uu page 34.
Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an external or extension telephone, press your Fax Receive
Code (the factory setting is l51). If you answered on the external telephone
(connected to the EXT. jack), press Start to receive the fax. 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 (Error
Correction Mode) 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.

Improving the print quality B
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 4, 2, 3). If the printout looks good,
the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections and 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
uu page 19.)
b Check that the drum unit and toner cartridge are installed correctly.
Examples of poor print
