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, transparencies, labels or envelopes.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

Use paper made for plain paper copying.

Use paper that is 60 to 105 g/m

2

.

Use labels and transparencies which are designed for use in laser machines.

DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

For correct 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.

When you use transparencies remove each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx.

5%.

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 (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.


Types of paper to avoid

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

2

2

1

1 2mm or greater curl 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 may not be covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.

17

Chapter 2

Envelopes

Most envelopes 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.

Envelopes can only be fed from the MP tray.

Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.

We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want before you print or purchase a large quantity of envelopes.

Check the following:

Envelopes should have a lengthwise sealing flap.

The sealing flaps should be folded crisply and correctly (irregularly cut or folded envelopes may cause paper jams).

Envelopes should consist of two layers of paper in the area circled in figure below.

2

Types of envelopes to avoid

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

2

1

1

1 Feeding direction

Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.

We recommend that you do not print within 15 mm of the edges of envelopes.

• with double flaps as shown in figure below

18

• with sealing flaps that have not been folded at purchase

• 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.

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.


Labels

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

Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a period of 0.1 seconds.

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.

Labels can be fed from the MP Tray.

2

Types of labels to avoid

Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.

2

2

IMPORTANT

DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The exposed carrier sheet will damage your machine.

The machine is initially set to Normal, which lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN

However, many offices use a central telephone system or Private Branch

Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be connected to most types of PBX. The machine’s recall feature supports timed break recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most

BT Call Sign (U.K. only)

The BT Call Sign subscriber service is a way to have a separate number for your machine, it allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ringing pattern.

You can set up your machine so that it only responds to the second number.

When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Manual mode will not respond to incoming telephone calls, since the number you use for telephone calls will use the normal ring pattern. If you turn the feature off, your receive mode will remain on

Connecting an external

TAD

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.

Note

If you have problems receiving faxes, reduce the ring delay setting on your external TAD.

The external TAD must be connected as shown in the illustration below.

Recording an outgoing message (OGM)

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 Remote Activation code for people sending manual faxes. For example:

“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing l51 and Start.”

Note

• You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code l

51. (See Using Remote Codes on page 59.)

• 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.

Chapter 7

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 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.

Operating from external and extension telephones

7

If you answer a fax call at an extension telephone, or an external telephone that is correctly connected to the machine into the correct socket on the machine, you can make your machine take the call by using the

Remote Activation code. When you press the

Remote Activation code l51 the machine starts to receive the fax.

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

7

You should assume that you’re receiving a manual fax.

Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the

LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.

Note

You can also use the Fax Detect feature to make your machine take the call. (See

Fax Detect on page 50.)


For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/doubleringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

Lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Tel/R to answer.

If you are at an extension telephone, you will need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring

Time and then press #51 between the pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing l51.

Chapter 7

Using extension telephones (U.K. only)

Your premises may already be wired with parallel extension telephones (those connected to sockets in other rooms in the building), or perhaps you intend to add extension telephones to your line. While the simplest arrangement is a parallel connection, there are some reasons why this arrangement may cause problems.

The most common problem, is someone picking up an extension telephone while the machine is trying to send a fax.

Such problems can easily be eliminated, if you arrange modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a master/slave configuration (see figure 2). In such a configuration, this machine can always detect whether a telephone is in use, so it will not attempt to seize the line during that time. This is known as “telephone offhook detection”.

The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1, and the recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure 2.

This new connection configuration can be arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon

Hull Telecommunications, your PBX maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be inserted into the modular socket of the white

“T”-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

These phones are now connected as external

devices as shown on page 57, because they

are connected to the fax machine via the Tconnector.

Using a non-Brother cordless external handset

7

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is connected to the telephone line cord (see

page 57) and you typically carry the cordless

handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay.

If you let the machine answer first, you will have to go to the machine so you can press

Tel/R to transfer the call to the cordless handset.

Using Remote Codes

7

Remote Activation Code

If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by pressing the Remote

Activation Code l51. Wait for the chirping

sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax

Detect on page 50.) Your caller will have to

press start to send the fax.

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Start and choosing Receive.

7

Remote Deactivation Code

If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T

(double-ring) after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension telephone you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51

(make sure you press this between the rings).

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Tel/R.

(activity report) at specific intervals (every 50 faxes, 6, 12 or 24 hours, 2 or 7 days). The default setting is Every 50 Faxes, this means that your machine will print the journal when the machine has stored 50 jobs.

If you set the interval to Off, you can still print the report by following the steps on the next page.

d


If you choose 6, 12, 24 hours, 2 or 7 days, the machine will print the report at the selected time and then erase all jobs from its memory.

If the machine’s memory becomes full with

200 jobs before the time you chose has passed, the machine will print the journal early and then erase all jobs from memory.

If you want an extra report before it is due to print, you can print it manually without erasing the jobs from memory.

Troubleshooting

If you think there is a problem with your machine, check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips.

Most problems can be easily resolved by yourself. If you need additional help, the Brother

Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com/.

If you are having difficulty with your machine

If you think there is a problem with the way your faxes look, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem may not be your machine. Check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips.

Printing or receiving faxes

C

Difficulties

Condensed print

Horizontal streaks

Top and bottom sentences are cut off

Suggestions

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.

Missing lines

Poor print quality

See Improving the print quality on page 120.

Vertical black lines when receiving

The corona wire for printing may be dirty. Clean the corona wire. (See Cleaning

the corona wire on page 145.)

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 your dealer for service.

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 on page 23.)

Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax on page 51.)

C

Telephone line or connections

Difficulties

Dialling does not work.

Key operations do not work.

Suggestions

Check for a dial tone.

Change Tone/Pulse setting. (See the Quick Setup Guide.)

Check all line cord connections.

Check that the machine is plugged in and switched on.

If an external phone is connected to the machine, send a manual fax by lifting the handset of the external telephone and dialling the number. Wait to hear the fax receiving tones before pressing Start.

Check the control panel is fitted correctly on the machine. Reinstall the control panel.

111

Telephone line or connections

(continued)

Difficulties

The machine does not answer when called.

Suggestions

Make sure the machine is in the correct receive mode for your setup. (See

Receiving a fax on page 47.) 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

Cannot receive a fax.

Suggestions

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 49.)

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 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 on page 49.)

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.

112

Troubleshooting and routine maintenance

Receiving Faxes (continued)

Difficulties

Cannot receive a fax.

(continued)

Suggestions

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 on page 54.)

1

Connect the external TAD as shown in the illustration on page 55.

2 Set your answering machine to answer in one or two rings.

3 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.”

4 Set your answering machine to answer calls.

5

Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Receive

Mode settings on page 49.)

Make sure your Brother machine's Fax Detect feature is turned On. Fax Detect is a feature that allows you to receive a fax even if you have answered the call on an

external or extension telephone. (See Fax Detect on page 50.)

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 on page 127.)

(MFC-8380DN) Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock

Settings.

Sending faxes

Difficulties

Poor sending quality.

Transmission Verification Report says RESULT:ERROR.

Suggestions

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 on page 143.)

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:ERROR on the

Transmission Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To free up

extra memory, you can turn off fax storage (See Turning off Remote Fax Options

on page 67), print fax messages in memory (See Out of Paper Reception

on page 52) or cancel a delayed fax or polling job (See Checking and cancelling

waiting jobs on page 45). 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 on page 127.)

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 on page 143.)

The machine does not scan all the pages of your document.

Make sure that the ADF output tray does not contain more than 20 sheets.

Cannot send a fax.

(MFC-8380DN) Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock

Settings.

113

Handling incoming calls

Difficulties

The machine ‘Hears’ a voice as a

CNG Tone.

Suggestions

If Fax Detect 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 Fax Detect to Off. (See Fax Detect on page 50.)

Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an external or extension telephone, press your Remote

Activation 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, 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.

Menu access difficulties

3280). Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridge of other specifications are used.

Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridge other than genuine e

Pull off the protective cover.

f

Put the new toner cartridge firmly into the drum unit until you hear it lock into place. If you put it in correctly, the lock lever will lift automatically.

Note

DO NOT turn off the machine or open the front cover until the LCD returns to the standby state.

Note

Make sure that you put in the toner cartridge correctly or it may separate from the drum unit.

g

Clean the corona wire of the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left and left to right several times.

Replacing the drum unit

The machine uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the LCD shows

Replace Drum

, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time to buy a new one.

Even if the LCD shows Replace Drum, you may be able to continue printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while.

However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality (even before

Replace Drum

appears), then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit.

(See Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 144.)

IMPORTANT

While removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it may contain toner. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.

C

1

Note

The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it periodically.

There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and how much toner you use for the number of pages per print job. The estimated drum life is


1

. The actual number of pages 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.

Drum yield is approximate, and may vary by type of use.

CAUTION

HOT SURFACE

After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of the machine will be extremely hot. To prevent injury, when you open the front or back cover (back output tray) of the machine DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustration. If you do this you may get burned.

IMPORTANT

• To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.

Note

Make sure that you put in the toner cartridge correctly or it may separate from the drum unit.

f

Put the new drum unit and toner cartridge assembly in the machine.

Do not close the front cover.

g

Press Clear/Back.

Replace Drum?

1.Yes 2.No

To confirm you are installing a new drum, press 1.

h

When the LCD shows Accepted, close the front cover.

• Wait to unpack a new drum unit until immediately before you put it in the machine. Exposure to direct sunlight or room light may damage the drum unit.

• Be sure to seal up the used drum unit tightly in a bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the unit.

d

Unpack the new drum unit.

154

Replacing periodic maintenance parts

The periodic maintenance parts will need to be replaced regularly to maintain the print quality. The parts listed below will have to be replaced after printing approximately 50,000 pages for PF Kit MP and 100,000 pages for

PF Kit 1, PF Kit 2, Fuser and Laser. Please call your Brother dealer when the following messages appear on the LCD.
