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 to one or two rings.

Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
For example: “After the beep, leave a message.”

Multi-line connections
(PABX)
Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC machines are connected to a discreet
(dedicated) line. Although a particular Private
Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) may appear to work with a particular model of fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a fax machine to a PABX, we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the fax machine for you.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can cause some functions of the fax machine not to work correctly.

telephone on page 83) 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, lift the cordless handset and then go to the machine so you can press Hook to transfer the call to the cordless handset.

IMPORTANT
• Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with Brother Original toner cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications are used. The machine may not detect toner or toner cartridges of other specifications correctly but may instead detect such items as standard yield toner cartridges. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges with this machine, or the refilling of empty cartridges with toner from other sources. If damage is caused to the drum unit or other parts of this machine as a result of the use of toner or toner cartridges other than Brother Original products due to the incompatibility or lack of suitability of those products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.
• For best performance, use a Brother Original drum and toner cartridge. Printing with a third party drum unit or toner cartridge may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the machine itself. Warranty coverage may not apply to problems caused by the use of a third party drum or toner cartridge.
94
Troubleshooting and other information
NOTE
• Discard used consumable items according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office. Be sure to reseal the consumable items tightly so that the material inside does not spill.
• The projected life for each of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage and type of media used.
• Availability of toner cartridges differs from one country to another. Visit the Brother Solutions
Center at http://support.brother.com or contact your local Brother office for further details.
