1 - 1 INTRODUCTION T7BASE-US-FM5.5 1 Introduction Using This Manual Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine (FAX). This fax machine has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your fax 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, youÕll 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. About Fax Machines If youÕre a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. YouÕll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily. Additionally, your fax machine has a Help Key. Press Copy/Help and then press Start to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.
INTRODUCTION 1 - 2 T7BASE-US-FM5.5 Fax Tones and Handshake When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones)Ñsoft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. YouÕll hear them when you dial and press Start , and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the ÒhandshakeÓ with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. YouÕll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you know if you are receiving a fax message. The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tonesÑloud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVE. If your fax machine is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to send the ÒchirpsÓ for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display ÒRECEIVE.Ó To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop . When your fax machine answers in FAX/TEL Mode, the fax machine listens for CNG tones and then responds with receiving tones. The fax ÒhandshakeÓ is the time in which the sending machineÕs CNG tones and the receiving machines ÒchirpsÓ overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 40 seconds after the number is dialed. Therefore, itÕs important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible. ECM (Error Correction Mode) The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine 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 fax machine for this feature to work. When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD to your fax machine.

LOCATION AND CONNECTIONS 2 - 1 T7BASE-US-FM5.5 2 Location and Connections Caution 1 Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. 2 We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the product against lightning storms. 3 Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for a wet location. 4 Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. 5 Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. 6 Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. 7 Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. 8 For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible. Choosing a Location Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the fax machine near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the fax machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unitÕs memory. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.
