OWNER’S MANUAL

Chapter

Using This Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine (FAX).

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.

Finding Information

All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find

information about a specific feature or function by checking the Index at the back of this manual.

Also, throughout this manual, you’ll see special symbols alerting you to important information,

cross-references, and warnings. Illustrations of some screen displays also help you choose the

correct key-presses.

Symbols Used In This Manual

Additionally, your machine has a Help Key. Press

Copy/Help

and then press

Start

to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.

Note or additional information.

The machine would be damaged or would not work correctly if this is not

observed.

Warnings detail precautions you must take to avoid possible personal

injury.

User-Friendly Programming

We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming and a Help key. User-friendly

programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions your machine has to offer.

See

“Using This Manual”

Because you do all your programming on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen prompts to

help you program your machine. All you need to do is follow the prompts as they guide you through

the function menu selections and programming options and settings.

A complete list of the function selections, options, and settings that are available is provided in the

appendix of this manual.

See “Function Selection Table” on page 78

Function Mode

You can access the Function Mode by pressing

Menu/Set

When you enter the Function Mode, your machine displays a list of main menu options from which

you can choose. These options appear one after the other on the display. Select an option by pressing

Menu/Set

when the option appears on the LCD.

You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing . When the screen displays your

selection, press

Menu/Set

. (Use to scroll backward if you passed your choice or to save key

strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the opposite order.)

When you finish a function, the screen displays

ACCEPTED

Alternating Displays

The LCD sometimes alternates between the currently selected option, and a help message giving

brief instructions about how to proceed. The display you’ll probably see most often is shown below,

showing you that when you place a document in the feeder, you can either dial a number to send it

as a fax or press the copy key to make a copy of the document.

If you want to exit the Function Mode, press

Stop

FAX: No. & START
