HOW TO USE ON-SCREEN PROGRAMMING (OSP) AND HELP KEY
2. HOW TO USE ON-SCREEN PROGRAMMING (OSP) AND HELP KEY
We have designed your MFC with on-screen programming and a Help key, userfriendly programming that helps you take full advantage of all the functions your
MFC has to offer.
Since your MFC programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen
prompt messages to help you program your MFC. All you have to do is follow the
prompt instructions as they guide you through the function menu selections and
programming options and settings.
Using the Function Mode to Access On-screen Programming (OSP)
You can access the Function mode by pressing Function.
When you enter Function mode, your MFC will display a list of Level One Functions
to choose from (see pages 2-3 through 2-6 for these Level One Functions), as seen
below.

HOW TO USE ON-SCREEN PROGRAMMING (OSP) AND HELP KEY
These function options will appear one after the other on the display. You can then
choose one of these options by pressing Set when the option you want appears on the
LCD.
You can also move through the function menu options at a faster rate by pressing X
(right arrow). (See page 1-5 to locate this key on your Control Panel.) When you find
the option you want, press Set.
After you press the Level One Function number, then press the Level Two Function
number associated with each option (refer to pages 2-3 through 2-5).
HelpfulHints
If you want to exit function mode, press Stop. If you selected the
wrong menu and want to return to the previous step, press Clear.

&
SET
When you see alternating displays, the LCD
will usually alternate between the currently
selected option, and a help message giving
brief instructions on how to proceed. The
example shows the current speaker volume
is high and prompts you to use Z (left
arrow) and X (right arrow) to change the
setting, and then to press Set to store it.
Function Selection Table
If you have a basic understanding of how to program your MFC, you can perform most
of the programming settings without the Operations Manual. To help you understand
the function selections, options, and settings that are found in your MFC programs,
we have the following Function Selection Table.
Read through this table to gain a basic understanding of what your new MultiFunction Center can do, and then the next section will begin instructing you how to
use On-Screen Programming.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Types of Numbers
When you store a number as a One-Touch or as a Speed-Dial number, you
have a choice of choosing the type of number. There are 4 options:
1. FAX (A fax number).
2. TEL (A telephone number).
3. F/T (Both a fax number and a telephone number)
4. CHAIN (A number, usually an access code, for chain dialing).
Chain Dialing
Chain dialing is used to store a very long dialing sequence. You can spread
the number over two or more keys if you register the first key(s) in the
sequence as type “Chain”. Chain tells the system that the dialing
sequence is not completed and that there is more to follow. The last
key in the sequence must be any other dial type (either FAX, TEL or F/T).
You can use any combination of One-Touch, Speed-Dial and manually
dialed numbers in a chain.
If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence,
store a pause at that point in the number by pressing the Pause key. (If you
need a pause that is longer than 3.5 seconds, call Fax Customer Service
Center at 1-800-284-4329 (USA), 1-800-853-6660 (CANADA) for assistance.)
When you are ready to dial the chain number, simply press the keys one
after the other in sequence and then press the Start key.
Chain dialing makes using access codes easy. Sometimes you may want to
choose from among several long-distance carriers when you make a call;
rates may vary depending upon the time and destination. To take advantage
of low rates, you can store the access code of a long-distance carrier as you
would a regular number and register it as a “chain” number. Then to dial,
press this (access code) number followed by the regular number and Start
key.
You can set up chain dialing for phone/credit card numbers, the same way.
However, when using chain dialing, do NOT send a cover page
because your credit card number will be on it.

4. USING THE MFC WITH AN EXTERNAL TELEPHONE
If you connect an external telephone to the MFC’s EXT. jack, you can use the MFC
to make regular telephone calls. There are two ways to dial: manually on the external
telephone and automatically by using One Touch, Speed Dial, or Tel-Index numbers
stored on the MFC. To dial automatically, you must first press the Hook key. Then
press the One Touch, Speed Dial, or Tel-Index number. You can listen to the other end
through the one-way speaker of the MFC, but the other party won’t hear you until you
pick up the handset of the external telephone and press Hook again. When you finish
speaking replace the handset.
To dial manually, pick up the handset and dial the number on the external telephone.
––OR––
You can dial manually by pressing Hook and using the MFC’s dial pad as follows:
1. Press Hook.
2. When you hear a dial tone, dial the number on the MFC’s dial pad.
3. When the other party answers, pick up the handset and press Hook again. To end
the call, replace the handset.
One-Touch Dialing
1. Press Hook.
2. When you hear the dial tone, press the One-Touch key.
3. When the other party answers, pick up the handset of the external telephone and
press Hook again. To end the call, replace the handset.
If you try to use a One-Touch number that has not been stored on the key you pressed,
you will hear a warning sound and the display will say, NOT REGISTERED. The
display will return to normal after 2 seconds.
Speed Dialing
1. Press Hook.
2. When you hear the dial tone, press the Speed-Dial key and then press the two-digit
Speed-Dial number, using the MFC’s dial pad.
3. When the other party answers, pick up the handset of the external telephone and
press Hook again. To end the call, replace the handset.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Sending a Fax
There are 3 basic ways to send a fax:
1) Manual transmission:
You can speak with the other party before sending a fax, by picking up
the external handset and dialing the number on the external telephone.
After the other party has finished talking and has pressed the Start
button, you will be able to send your fax by pressing your Start key and
placing the handset in its cradle. (If you call and all you hear is the
chirping sound of a fax machine, you can go ahead and press your Start
key, and then replace the handset of the external telephone.)
2) Automatic transmission:
Sending FAX
You can send a fax without picking up the handset of the external
telephone or without pressing Hook by dialing the fax number and then
pressing Start.
a. One-Touch Dialing
Press one of the One-Touch keys. (The numbers must be stored
beforehand. See page 3-6~7.) Then press Start.
b. Speed-Dialing
Press Speed-Dial, then use the dial pad to enter a two-digit number.
For example, press “05” for 5. (The numbers must be stored beforehand.
See page 3-7~8.) Then press Start.
c. Telephone Index
You can use Tel-Index to make telephone or fax calls. (See page 4-2.)
3) Delayed transmission:
It is possible to send documents at a later time by using the TIMER
function. (See page 5-9~10.)
Talking to the Other Party When Sending a Fax
When you are sending a fax manually and you hear the recipient’s voice
instead of fax tones, you can use the handset of the external telephone to
have a conversation. If you want to then send a fax, ask the person on the
other line to press Start and when you hear fax tones you can press Start
to begin sending your fax.

Automatic and Manual Redialing
If a number you have dialed is busy or your call did not go through for some other
reason, you can redial that number. There are two ways to redial: “automatic” and
“manual.” Automatic redialing can be used only for faxes that were sent using
automatic transmission—not for telephone calls. The MFC automatically will redial
the number 3 times at 5 minute intervals before giving up. It will redial the last dialed
number when you press Redial (manual redialing).

resolution, all the pages will be sent at the same resolution. However, there may be
times when you want to send some pages at one resolution, such as STANDARD, and
other pages in another resolution, such as PHOTO. If you send all pages in Photo
resolution, for instance, it would take a great deal of time. It is better to specify the
resolution for each page to minimize transmission time. This is made possible by
using the 1.TEMP. SETTINGS function.

Call Reservation: Speaking with the Other Party on the External
Telephone After Fax Transmission
You can send a fax and then talk to the recipient using the Call Reservation feature.
After your MFC prints on the receiving end, the receiving fax machine will ring as if
it were receiving a telephone call. If the recipient picks up the handset, your MFC will
ring. If you have a telephone plugged in to the EXT. Jack of your MFC, you can pick
up your handset, press Hook and start a conversation. If you have both Call
Reservation and Call Back Message set to ON and the recipient does not pick up the
handset when it rings, your MFC will leave a fax message asking the recipient to call
you.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Using the Call Reservation Function
• There are some fax machines that will not respond to this function.
• You can not use Call Reservation with the Delayed Transmission or with
the Polling function.
• You must register your Station ID number to turn Call Back

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC to check the integrity of a fax
transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are possible only between
machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax
messages that are continuously checked for their integrity.
Sufficient memory must be available in your MFC for this feature to work.
Error Retransmission
Error Retransmission is helpful when the receiving machine does not have ECM.
Even though your MFC can not check the integrity of the message, it will send the
affected page(s) again after occurrences of accidental noise have caused an error.
This feature is available only for memory transmission using Super QuickScan (see page 5-8~13).

when the Interrupt function is in use.
• When you are making a call using Next-FAX Reservation, you can dial
manually, or use One-Touch, Speed-Dial, Redial, or Chain dialing.
However, when you use One-Touch dialing, the screen will display only
the number of the One-Touch number you are using, such as “*01” and
not the name of the person you are calling. Similarly, if you use SpeedDialing, the screen will show you only the Speed-Dial number, such as
“#02”.
• You can set the resolution for Next-FAX Reservation by pressing

You can avoid separating data even if the document is longer than the paper in your

types of reduction: Auto Reduction and Fixed Reduction.
Auto Reduction
Regardless of the original size of the incoming document, it will be reduced so that it
fits on one page of paper. The MFC will automatically calculate the reduction ratio

ACTIVATION
What is Remote Activation?
If you answer a call that is a fax message, you can use the Remote Activation Code
to make your MFC take over the call. If your MFC answers a telephone call that is for
you, you can use the Remote Deactivation Code (#51) to pick up the call at an extension
phone. You must use a touch tone phone.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Connecting an External or Extension Telephone
You may connect an external telephone to your MFC, as shown below. Use
the “EXT.” jack on your machine.
Alternatively, you may wish to use this “EXT.” jack to connect a telephone
answering device (TAD). An extension phone is a telephone that is plugged
into a separate wall jack on the same line.

REMOTE ACTIVATION
Using Remote Codes
The Remote Activation Code (*51) is used in F/T and TAD modes. The Deactivation
Code (#51) is used only in F/T mode.
Using the Activation Code
When you are at the MFC, you will probably answer incoming calls before your MFC
or answering machine is programmed to pick up. If you answer a call and no one
seems to be on the line, assume it is a fax message. Do not hang up. You must
activate your MFC to take over the call first. If you are on an extension/external
phone, press *51 and wait for your MFC to respond before you hang up. After
3 seconds you will hear receiving tones (chirps) through the handset of extension
phone. Then hang up. You can repeat the code as many times as needed. Your MFC
will take over the call and print the fax message. If your caller wants to talk before
sending the fax, you can have a conversation first and then activate your MFC with
the code.
The Remote Activation Code can also be used by your callers. When you are using a
TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax,
press *51”. (See the section on Connecting a Telephone Answering Device for more
information.)
Using the Deactivation Code
When your MFC is in F/T mode, sometimes it will answer a call that is not fax calling
tones (a telephone call or manual fax). It will respond with a double ring (short,
short) to alert you to take over. Because the MFC has already answered the call, only
the MFC will ring, extension phones are no longer connected to the call. You can take
over the call at an extension phone using the Deactivation Code (#51).
Pick up the handset on another telephone and press #51 quickly during the
silence between the double ring pattern. When the MFC hears the code it will
stop ringing and let you speak with the caller. If no one is on the line or someone is
trying to send you a manual fax, send the call back to the MFC (*51).

MFC 4450/OP-US-5.0
REMOTE ACTIVATION
RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS
Making the Remote Codes Easier to Use
You can change the codes at any time. It may be easier for you and your callers to press
the same key three times (Example: *** and ###). Although you can change the
codes to any numbers you want, try to avoid using digits for the Activation Code. The
Remote Activation Code can not match any number you dial. If you try to dial a phone
number that includes the Activation Code, your MFC will go into receiving mode.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes other equipment on your phone line reserves a key that is in the Activation
or Deactivation code. (Some answering machines reserve the “*” key.) If the code you
use to retrieve messages from your answering machine causes the line to be
disconnected, try changing the Remote Codes. Change *51 to ### and #51 to 999. The
Remote Activation and Deactivation Codes may not work with some telephone
systems or telephone sets.
N O T E: If you accidentally pick up the extension phone when a fax message is being
received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions
unreadable.

How to Use an External TAD with the MFC
When you have a Telephone Answering Device on the fax phone line, the TAD will
answer all the incoming calls. Your Brother MFC will listen in on the line for fax CNG
tones. If it hears them, it will take over the call and receive the fax message. If it does
not hear fax tones, it will let the TAD continue playing the outgoing message so the
caller can leave a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings. The MFC can not hear the CNG calling tones
until the TAD answers the call. When the Ring Delay is set for 4 rings, only 8-10
seconds of CNG calling tones are left for the “handshake”. So you must strictly follow
the instructions for recording the OGM.
You must erase the incoming messages frequently on your TAD. When the TAD’s
memory is full it will not answer any incoming calls (fax or voice).

these steps:
1. Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back of the MFC in the jack
labeled LINE.
2. Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the back of the MFC in the jack
labeled EXT. (Double check that the telephone line cord comes from the jack in the
TAD for telephone line and not for telephone set.)
3. Put your MFC in TAD mode by turning both the Fax and F/T lights on.
4. Set your TAD to 4 rings or less. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting does not apply).
5. Turn the TAD’s Answer mode to ON.
6. Record the OGM (outgoing message) on your TAD as explained on the next page.

Recording the TAD’s Outgoing Message (OGM)
The TAD’s outgoing message is important because it must be set up to handle two
kinds of fax receptions: automatic and manual. Timing is important.
1. Record 5 seconds of silence as the beginning of your message. (Your MFC will be
able to hear the fax calling tones, of automatic fax transmissions, before they stop.)
2. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3. End your 20 second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people
sending manual faxes:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing *51.”
N O T E: Do not assume that most callers send faxes automatically. Many people do
not realize they are not sending fax tones when they lift the handset or press
the Hook key. Also, some machines may not send fax tones.

Distinctive Ringing
What Is Distinctive Ringing?
What Is the Advantage of Using the Distinctive Ringing Function?
Using Distinctive Ringing is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone
calls on the same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The MFC
will answer with receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code or
wait 30 seconds to hear fax tones (F/T mode). And the people who call to talk on your
main number, will not have to talk to your MFC. Basically, it gives you two
independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.
Can My MFC Use Distinctive Ringing?
Yes, it has a distinctive ringing function that allows you to register the distinctive
ringing pattern of an additional phone number on the line. The number you register
must be the number you want to use as your dedicated fax number. Once you register
the ringing pattern, the MFC will be able to identify its own incoming calls and
automatically receive faxes at that number. You can register only one ringing pattern.
There are some ringing patterns that can not be registered.
6-18
Receive FAX
Distinctive ringing is a service offered by the telephone carriers that allows you to
have several different numbers on one phone line, so you can have a separate number
for your MFC. Each number has its own distinctive ringing pattern. This way, when
you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring. Your
local telephone company can provide more information about this service. The service
is usually offered as a monthly charge to your normal telephone bill.

RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS
DISTINCTIVE RINGING (WITH AN EXTERNAL TELEPHONE CONNECTED TO THE MFC)
Can I Change the Setting Later?
Yes, you can change or cancel the distinctive ringing setting at any time. You can
switch it OFF temporarily and then turn it back ON. When you move or get a new fax
number, change the distinctive ringing mode to SET so you can register the new
number.
How Will the MFC Treat All Other Numbers?
As long as the MFC is set to Manual mode and you have registered its distinctive
ringing number, the MFC will answer only the registered number. When a call
comes in to your main number (or additional distinctive ringing numbers), all the
phones will ring until you or an answering machine pick up the call. (See the chart
on page 6-20.)
If you want the MFC to allow a telephone answering device (TAD) to answer only the
main number(s), you must leave the MFC in Manual mode. You can plug the
telephone answering device into either the EXT jack of the MFC or into a separate
phone jack. If the TAD is in the EXT jack, you will not hear the first two rings on the
TAD. The TAD must be set to its maximum number of rings (at least 4 ring cycles).
Otherwise, it will answer the registered distinctive ringing number before the MFC
has time to recognize the ringing pattern.
If you change the answer mode on the MFC to Fax or F/T, that setting will override
the Distinctive Ringing setup. In Fax or F/T modes, your MFC will answer all
the phone numbers (including its own ring pattern).
External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Answers Other Number(s) on
the Line:
An external telephone answering device (TAD) can be set up to work with the
Distinctive Ringing function. The external TAD must be set to its maximum number
of rings (at least 4 ring patterns). Otherwise, it will answer the registered fax number
before the MFC has time to recognize the ringing pattern. The external TAD’s OGM
(outgoing message) will answer your main number(s) if you do either #1 or #2 as
follows:
1. Plug the external TAD into the EXT jack of the MFC (you will not hear the first two
rings on the MFC). Put your MFC in Manual mode (Fax and F/T lights off).
2. Plug the external TAD into another phone jack and put the MFC in Manual mode
(Fax and F/T lights turned off).

How Does the Distinctive Ringing Function Work?
Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long long, while the
new number could have a ring pattern of short short, long short, etc. When Distinctive
Ringing is ON, you will not hear the first two rings of all incoming calls on the MFC.
Extension phones may ring as usual. If the MFC recognizes the ring pattern, all
ringing will stop and the MFC will answer and automatically receive the fax message.
Otherwise, you will hear the extension phones and the MFC continue to ring. The
MFC always listens to at least two ring patterns before it answers, so do not pick up
the phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognize the ring pattern for
faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either you or a telephone
answering device can answer the main number(s).

DISTINCTIVE RINGING (WITH AN EXTERNAL TELEPHONE CONNECTED TO THE MFC)
What Must I Do to Set Up Distinctive Ringing?
To use the Distinctive Ringing feature you must:
1. Get the distinctive ringing service from your telephone carrier.
2. When your distinctive ringing number is available, register it in the function called
“Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function”.
3. Keep the MFC in Manual answer mode (both Fax and F/T lights turned off).
Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function
This function is a one-time procedure to register a distinctive ringing number with
your MFC. Your MFC will answer the registered number automatically, simulating
Fax mode on a dedicated fax line. You can register only one number. Do not try to
set up this function if you do not have the distinctive ringing service. It may
cause your MFC to malfunction.
This procedure is in two parts: First, you must put the MFC in SET mode; D/R SET
MODE will be on the display screen. Second, you must wait for a friend to call the
distinctive ringing number so you can register the ringing pattern. When a call comes
in, do not pick up the handset of the external and extension telephones until the
MFC’s display says PICK UP TO SET. Then pick up the handset of the external
telephones if you are at the MFC. If the caller dialed your distinctive ringing number,
press the Start key and check that the display says REGISTERED before you hang
up. If the caller dialed the other number, press the Stop key and hang up to try again.
Before you begin this function:
1. If your MFC is connected to a telephone answering device or to the telephone
company’s Voice Mail system, disconnect it before you begin this function.
2. Have a friend ready to call your distinctive ringing number.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
What Is Polling?
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You
may use your MFC to “poll” other machines, or you may ask someone to poll
your MFC. The party who polls pays for the cost of the call.
How Does It Work?
First all parties set up their fax machines so that they can accommodate
polling. Then one party leaves documents in the fax machine so that the
other party can call and have the documents sent to them.
Polling side
Polled side
Call

When to Use Polling
Use polling to control the cost of who pays for sending a fax.
1. If you want to pay for the cost of the call: Send faxes to other parties as
you normally would, and if another party has documents to send you, ask
if you can poll for them.
2. If you want others to pay for the cost of the call: Ask them to poll your
MFC for documents they want, and have them fax any documents that
you want.
* There are some fax machines that will not respond to the polling function.

HelpfulHints
Using Polling Effectively (Examples)
Problem No. 1: You want another party to send you a long fax, but
they do not want to pay for the call.
Solution:
Ask them to leave the document in their fax machine
so you can poll for it.
Problem No. 2: Sales representatives have difficulty sending faxes
to the head office’s fax machine because it is busy
much of the time.
Solution:
Head office can poll the sales representatives’ fax
machines.
Problem No. 3: Because of the time or location, it is cheaper for
someone to call you than it is for you to make the call.
Solution:
Ask the other party to poll for the documents and
offer to pay for the call at their lower rate.

2. Dial your MFC’s number.
3. When your MFC answers with a beep, immediately press your Remote Access Code
(159*). (See page 8-7.)

If you do not hear a long beep, it means your MFC did not receive any message(s).
5. As soon as you hear two (2) short beeps, press a Control Command.
Each time your MFC completes an instruction, it gives two (2) short beeps telling
you to enter the next command; if you wait longer than 30 seconds to enter the
command, your MFC will disconnect the line. If you perform a wrong operation, you
will hear three (3) short beeps.
6. When you are ready to exit remote control mode, press 90 to reset your MFC.
Remote Fax Retrieval
If you have set your FAX STORAGE: ON to store incoming fax messages, you have
the ability to retrieve these fax messages from any remote group 3 facsimile machine.
Remote fax retrieval is accomplished via remote control access commands, which are
described in the remainder of this chapter.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
When to Enter the Remote Access Code
Just after the line is connected, you should enter the remote access code
from any touch tone phone. Make sure that you enter the remote access
code while you do NOT hear the chirping sound of your MFC. If the MFC
is set to MANUAL mode, it will answer the call after about 20 rings (about
100 seconds). You will have 30 seconds to press the remote access code or
the line will be disconnected.

Helpful Hints
It is recommended that you test paper, especially special sizes and
types of paper, on the MFC before purchasing large quantities.
Avoid feeding labels with carrier sheets exposed, or your MFC will
be damaged.
Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.
Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.
For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially
plain paper and transparencies. For more information on paper
specifications, consult with your nearest authorized sales
representative or the place where you purchased your MFC.
Use label or transparencies that are designed for use in laser
printers.
We recommend you use long-grained paper for the best print
quality.
If you are using special paper, and the paper has problems feeding
from the multipurpose sheet feeder, try again using the manual feed
slot.
You can use recycled paper in this MFC.

The MFC will print all the even numbered pages on one side of the paper first, and
then will print all the odd pages numbered on the reverse side of the paper. When you
have finished printing on one side of the paper, the Windows® driver instructs you
with a pop-up message on the computer to reinsert the paper. Follow the instructions
on how to reinsert the paper.
Before reinserting the paper, straighten it. Or you may get the paper jam. The use of
very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. If you encounter the double feeding
error, hold the paper except the front sheet while the paper is feeding.
NOTICE
When you use the Manual Duplex function, it is possible that a paper jam
may occur or the print quality might not be satisfactory.

Manual Feed Slot
The multipurpose sheet feeder also has a manual feed slot. You can manually load
paper, sheet by sheet into this slot. You do not have to remove paper from the
multipurpose sheet feeder. When you use labels or transparencies, be sure to use this
slot. For information on paper specifications, see “Acceptable Paper” on page 10-1.
You do not have to choose manual feed in the Setup dialog box of your printer driver.
Insert the sheet of paper in the direction for Portrait or Landscape, placing the side
if the paper you wish to print on face down in the manual feed slot. Align the paper
at the center of the manual feed slot, and be sure to insert it all the way. (1) Adjust
the paper guide of the manual feed slot to the paper width you are using. (2)

When you load more than one sheet of paper manually:
Open the Setup dialog box of the Windows® printer driver and select Manual Feed in
the Paper Source section. Follow the above instructions to load the first page. The
MFC will start printing automatically. After the first page is printed, the dialog box
will appear and prompt you to load the next page. Load a sheet and select OK to
resume printing. Repeat these steps until you have finished printing all the pages.

USING THE MFC AS A PRINTER
Helpful Hints
1. If you do not select manual paper feed and insert a page in the
manual feed slot, the MFC will load the first page from the manual
feed slot and subsequent pages from the multipurpose sheet feeder.
2. If your application software does not support your custom paper
size, select the next paper size. Then adjust the print area by
changing the right and left margins in your application software.
3. When you want to stop or clear the manual feed, press Shift and
Test/Reset, or you can also stop it with a PC command.
4. When you use manual feed slot, it is best to first press Print
Priority. This allows you to print PC data without interruption
from incoming faxes. Incoming faxes will be stored in the MFC's
memory. To continue printing PC data, press FF/Cont after each
page has printed.
5. If bi-directional communication is not operational between the
printer and the computer, such as when the MFC is shared on a
network, the dialog box to load the next page will not appear. When
your MFC is attached to a network, we do not recommend manual
feeding.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Paper Tray
The MFC ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper tray
at the front of the MFC.
When you use transparencies, remove each sheet immediately after printing,
to prevent a paper jam or curled sheets.

HOW TO USE THE COPY FUNCTION
11. HOW TO USE THE COPY FUNCTION
Use the Copy key to make a single copy or multiple copies. When making copies,
check that the text or image on the original document is not too close to the edge. Your
MFC can not read anything closer than 4 mm (1/8 inch) from the edge. Original
documents should be straight and not wrinkled or they may jam. Also, do not pull on
the paper while copying is in progress or you may distort the image and damage your
MFC.
Make sure there is enough paper in the MFC. And when making multiple copies, do
not let the paper tray become overstacked. Remove copies from the paper tray.
Set the resolution to either PHOTO, FINE or S.FINE. If you select STANDARD, the
resolution will change automatically to S.FINE. However, when you make a single
copy and select S.FINE, the resolution may change automatically to FINE in case
memory is used for memory transmission.

The Toner Empty LED will light and the display will show CHANGE TONER and
TONER EMPTY alternately to indicate that the toner is empty. Once this indication
appears, your MFC will not resume printing until you have installed a new toner
cartridge.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
The MFC can print approximately 2,200 pages with one toner cartridge. When the
toner cartridge is running low, the display shows CHANGE TONER. The MFC is
supplied with a starter toner cartridge that must be replaced after 1,000 pages.
NOTE: • Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type.
(i.e.:standardletter,detailedgraphics,etc.)
• It is recommended that you always keep a new toner cartridge ready for
use for when you see the toner low warning.
• Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are
not sure of them, consult with Brother Customer Service. Be sure to seal
the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the
cartridge. When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate
from domestic garbage.
• It is recommended that you clean the MFC when you replace the toner
cartridge.

REPLACING TONER CARTRIDGE AND DRUM UNIT
Replacing the Drum Unit
The MFC uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the display shows
CHANGE DRUM, it indicates the drum unit is nearly at the end of its life. We
recommend you prepare a new drum unit to replace the current one. Even if the
display shows CHANGE DRUM, you may be able to continue to print without
replacing the drum unit for a while. If there is a noticeable deterioration in the output
print quality even before CHANGE DRUM is shown, then the drum unit should be
replaced.
WARNING
• When removing the drum unit, handle carefully because it contains
toner.
• You should clean the MFC when you replace the drum unit. See page 131~3.
NOTE: The drum unit is a consumable, and it is necessary to replace it periodically.
The drum unit is rated at approximately 20,000 pages. There are many
factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity,
type of paper and toner that you use and the number of pages per print job,
etc... The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages at 20 page per
job and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual number of pages your drum
will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have no
control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we can not
guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner, and the product
should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate
ventilation.
Follow these steps to replace the drum unit:
1) Turn off the power switch or unplug the power cord.
2) Open the top cover.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
13. REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Regular Maintenance
You can keep your MFC in optimum condition by cleaning it on a regular basis. It is
a good idea to replace the toner cartridge and the drum unit during this routine. Avoid
using thinners or other organic solvents to clean the MFC and do not use water.
Follow the steps below:
1. Unplug the telephone line and then the power cord.
When you reconnect these lines later, make sure to connect the power cord first,
then the telephone line.
2. Wipe dirt off the MFC using a slightly damp clean cloth.
3. Clean the white bar and the glass cover.
Moisten a small piece of clean soft, lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol and
carefully remove dirt from the glass cover and the white bar of the scanner.
* Do not use isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt from the control panel. It may cause a

Horizontal
Streaks
You may get a fax with horizontal streaks or with missing lines. Usually this is caused
by a poor telephone connection. Ask the other party to send the fax again.
Poor Printing Quality
If the printing quality is not at an acceptable level, please replace your drum unit with
a new one.
The Print is too Light or too Dark
The print density dial is located in the
corner under the top cover. (Remove
the drum unit.) You can use it to
adjust print density by increasing or
decreasing the Print Density function
setting you chose.
Print density dial
Use a straight blade screwdriver to turn the print density dial clockwise for darker print
and counterclockwise for lighter print. The dial has been set to the middle position.
Make five or six copies to bring the toner up to the level of the new setting.
If the print is still too light, check to see if the Toner Save feature is ON (see page
6-9~10).
14-5
Maintenance
The print may become darker or
lighter as conditions change (such as
changing the toner cartridge and
drum unit or if the MFC has become
overheated from heavy use).
MFC 4450/OP-US-5.0
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
Received Faxes Appear as Split or Blank Pages:
If the received data is divided and printed on 2 pages or if you get an additional blank
page, your size may not be set correctly for the paper you are using (see page 6-5~6).
If you are using the fixed reduction feature, check to see if the reduction ratio is
suitable for the real paper (see page 6-7~8).
When Dialing Doesn’t Work...
You may have the wrong dialing mode. Change the TONE/PULSE setting. (See page
3-1.) You should check all the telephone line connections (to the external telephone
and to the wall jack). Check also that the power cord is connected and the power switch
is turned on. (See page 2-7 of Setup Manual for Fax, Printer, Copier.) Check by
pressing Hook to see if you hear a dial tone. Also try dialing by first pressing Hook
or lifting the handset of the external telephone. Wait until you hear the fax tones and
then press Start.
MFC Does Not Answer When Called:
Make sure the MFC is in the correct receiving mode for your setup (either FAX, F/T
or TAD). Check for dial tone. If possible, call your MFC to hear it answer. If there is
still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. If there is no ringing when
you call your MFC, call your Telephone Company to check the line.
No Dial Tone on the Handset of an external telephone:
Press Hook. If you do not hear a dial tone, check telephone line cord connections at
the MFC, wall jack and external telephone. Test the wall jack with another single line
telephone. If no dial tone on the wall outlet, call your Telephone Company.
Double Ring in F/T Mode
The MFC knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signaling you to answer the
telephone call. Pick up the external handset or answer from an extension phone and
press your MFC’s Remote Deactivation Code (default setting is #51).
Problem using the HP Pavilion PC and the “HP DEMO” screen saver
If you select the “HP Demo” screen saver on your HP Pavilion PC after you have
installed the Multi-Function Link Pro software, the System.ini file is overwritten and
you can not use the Brother MFC to print, scan or for Remote Setup.
If you have used the HP Demo screen saver already, you must edit the System.ini file
asfollows:
[boot]
;comm.drv=comm115.drv
comm.drv=brmfcomm.drv
[386Enh]
DEVICE=Bi-Di.386
If you do not want to edit the System.ini file, please change the screen saver to another
one and Re-install Multi-Function Link Pro again.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
Bi-Directional Parallel Ports (nibble and byte modes)
The MFC 4450 supports both nibble (AT) and byte (Bi-Directional) mode parallel
ports. If your PC supports byte mode, scanning and fax reception will be at a faster
speed. To verify or change the parallel port mode, please check your system BIOS in
the CMOS Setup or contact your computer manufacturer for assistance.
NOTE: Some older PC models support only nibble mode. Generally, newer models
support both nibble and byte modes.
MFC Connect Failure or Bi-Directional Communication Error
Recently, some printers have included a function to show the printer status on the
PC display. Such printers use the bi-directional communication parallel port
between the printer and the PC. Our MFC 4450 also has a bi-directional parallel port
function. Since Windows® 3.xx does not support bi-directional communication on the
parallel port, each peripheral vendor has developed and supplies their own bidirectional device driver which will be installed into Windows® 3.xx. If you install two
or more different bi-directional device drivers into Windows®, they might conflict with

Paper Handling
Difficulty or Question
Suggestions
The MFC does not load
paper.
The LCD shows CHECK
PAPER or PRINTER
JAM.
• Check to see if the CHECK PAPER or PRINTER JAM
message appears on the LCD. If so, the multipurpose sheet
feeder may be out of paper or not properly installed. If it is
empty, load a new stack of paper into the feeder.
• If there is paper in the multipurpose sheet feeder, 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 multipurpose sheet feeder,
then try again.
The MFC does not load
paper from the manual
feedstop.
Reinsert the paper firmly, one sheet at a time.
How can I load
envelopes?
You can load envelopes from either the multipurpose sheet
feeder or the manual feed slot. Your application software 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
software. Refer to your application manual.
What paper can I use?
You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies, labels, and
organizer paper. For information on loading paper. See
“Acceptable Paper” in Chapter 9.
How can I clear paper
jams?
See “Paper Jams” on page 13-6~8.

full pages of a document.
A MEMORY FULL error
message occurs.
• Reduce the printer resolution.
• Reduce the complexity of your document and try again.
• Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within
your application software.
My headers or footers
appear when I view my
document on the screen
but do not show up when
I print them.
Most laser printers have a restricted area that will not accept
print. Usually these are the first two lines and last two lines,
leaves 62 printable lines. Adjust the top and bottom margins in
your document to allow for this.
