Broadcasting
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax 
numbers.  Using the Broadcast key, you can include Groups, One Touch 
locations, Speed Dial locations, plus up to 50 manually dialed numbers.  
However, available memory will vary with the types of jobs in memory and the 
number of locations used for broadcasting.  If you broadcast to more than the 
maximum locations available, you will not be able to set up transmissions using 
dual access and the timer. (See 
Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting, Page 7-3.)
The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys, you can include One Touch, 
Speed Dial, and manually, dialed numbers in the same broadcast. You must 
press Broadcast between each of these locations.  Use the Telephone Index to 
help you choose the numbers easily.
After the broadcast is completed, a Broadcast Report will be printed 
automatically to let you know the results.
To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop/Exit.  The LCD asks if you 
want to cancel all locations or the location that is being sent.
Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you normally would, but keep in 
mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can 
call become limited.
If the line is busy or for some other reasons a connection could not be made 
while broadcasting, the machine will redial the number automatically.
If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to abort the job ; (if more than one page 
has been scanned) or press Fax Start to send the portion that is in the memory.
1Place the original face down in the ADF.
2Enter a number using One Touch, Speed Dial, Group number, Search or the dial 
pad. 
Example: Group number
3Press Broadcast. You will be prompted to press the next number.
4Enter the next number. Example: Speed Dial number.
5Press Broadcast.
6Enter the next fax number.
Example: Manual dialing, using the dial pad
7Press Fax Start.
Your machine will read the document into memory and then start sending faxes 
to all the numbers you entered.

Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers
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 codes or long-distance 
carriers as One Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing 
sequences by dividing them and setting them up separately in any combination.  
You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad.  The combined number 
will be dialed in the order you entered it, as soon as you press Fax Start.  (See 
Storing One Touch Dial Numbers, Page 7-1.)
For example, you store “555” on One Touch key 03 and “7000” on One Touch 
key 04.  If you press One Touch 03, 04 and Fax Start you can dial “555-7000”.  
To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number with 
manual dialing using the dial pad.  For example, to change the number to 555-
7001 you could press One Touch 03 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad.
Pause
Press Redial/Pause to insert a 3.5 second pause between numbers. If you are 
dialing overseas, you can press Redial/Pause as many times as needed to 
increase the length of the pause. 
Hold
1Press Hold to place a call on Hold.
2You can replace the handset without disconnecting the call.
3Pick up the machine’s handset to release the call from Hold. Picking up an 
extension handset will not release the call from Hold.
Redial
If you’re sending a fax manually and the line is busy, press Redial/Pause to 
try again. Anytime you want to make a second call to the last number dialed, 
press Redial/Pause to save time.
Tone/Pulse (For Canada Only)
If you have pulse dialing service, but need to send tone signals 
(for example, telephone banking), follow the directions below. If you have 
touch tone service, you do not need this feature to send tone signals.
1Lift the handset.
2Press #. Digits dialed after # will send tone signals.
3When you hang up, the machine returns to pulse dialing service.
NoteIf 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 Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a  3. 5 second delay.

Custom Features
Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone 
services offered by some telephone companies.
Distinctive Ring
The term “Distinctive Ring” is used by Brother to identify a phone company 
service that is given many names, depending on the Telephone Company you are 
using. For example, this service may be called SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-
Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.
What Does Your Telephone Company’s “Distinctive Ring” Do?
Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows more than one 
number to be on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone 
number, it is an inexpensive alternative to paying for an additional line. 
Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern, so you will know which 
phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number 
for your fax machine.
What Does Brother’s “Distinctive Ring” Do?
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. You can dedicate the new phone number on your line to receiving only 
faxes.
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an 
answering service, or on alarm system custom feature on your telephone line, it may 
create a problem in the operation of your machine. (
See I have difficulty with 
custom features on a single line, Page 19-8.)
If you have Voice Mail on you phone line, please read the following carefully.
NotePlease consult your telephone company for availability and rates.
NoteYou must purchase your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service before 
you program the Brother machine to work with it.

Do You Have Voice Mail?
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you on which will install your new 
machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine 
will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, this 
Distinctive Ring feature allows the use of more than one number on your 
line, so both Voice Mail and the fax machine can coexist peacefully. If each 
one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s work.
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 provided, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming 
calls.
Before You Choose the Ring Pattern to Register
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring 
patterns cannot be registered. Please refer to some popular ring pattern examples 
that will be provided from the phone company in the USA and Canada that are 
shown in the Brother compatibility table below.
The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.
The first two rings are silent on the fax machine. This is because the fax must 
«listen» to the ring pattern (compare it to the pattern that was “registered”).
(Other telephones on the line will ring.)
If you program the fax machine correctly, it will recognize the registered ring 
pattern of the “fax number” within 2 ring patterns and then automatically answer 
with a fax tone. When the “voice number” is called, the fax machine will not 
interrupt the call.
NoteYou can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can 
switch it off temporarily and later turn it back on. When you get a new fax 
number, make sure you reset this setting.
NoteIf the ring pattern the phone company provided cannot be registered by the fax, 
please check for other available ring pattern choices from the phone 
company.

Very Important
If you have Voice Mail, or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to 
keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the 
machine in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring 
Feature. Here’s why: Manual mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is 
«Neutral». When the machine is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring 
Feature can be activated. The distinctive ring feature is actually an answering 
mode. So, do not activate FAX  mode or FAX/TEL mode while using distinctive 
ring; otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the numbers.
Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern
1Set the machine to MANUAL mode.
2Press Menu, 2, 0, 1.
3Press  or  to select DISTINCTIVE:SET and then press Set.
4Press  or  to select the prestored ring pattern you want to assign, and then 
press Set. (You will hear each pattern as you scoll through the four patterns.) 
Be sure to choose the pattern assigned by the Telephone Company.
5Press Stop/Exit.
Caller ID
The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber 
service offered by many local phone companies.   This service provides the 
name or telephone number of your caller on the LCD as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (or name, 
if available).  Once you pick up the  handset, the Caller ID information 
disappears from the screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller 
ID memory. 
You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.
OUT OF AREA display means call originates outside your Caller ID service 
area.
PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked 
transmission of information.
CALL PICKUP display remains on the screen when no Caller ID information 
was transmitted. 
Caller ID service varies with different carriers.  Call your local phone company 
to determine the kind of service available in your area.
If both the name and number are received, the LCD shows only the name.  You 
can print a list of Caller ID information received by your machine.
