When you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel Mode, if the call is a fax, your machine will automatically receive it.
However, if it is a voice call, the machine will sound the F/T ring (fast double-ring) for the time you set in the F/T
Ring Time option. When you hear the F/T ring, it means that a voice caller is on the line.
• The F/T Ring Time feature works when you set Fax/Tel Mode as the Receive Mode.
Because the F/T ring is made by the machine, extension and external telephones will not ring; however, you can
still answer the call on any telephone.

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long-distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary
depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes of long-
distance carriers and credit card numbers as Address Book numbers.
You can store these long dialling sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate Address Book
numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialling using the dial pad.
For example: You might have stored '01632' and '960555' in your machine as shown in the following table.

This feature of the machine lets you use the BT Call Sign subscriber service which allows you to have at least
two separate telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has its own distinctive ringing
pattern, so you know which telephone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate telephone
number for your machine.
Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate a second
telephone number (on the same telephone line) just for receiving faxes.
• This feature is available only in the U.K.
• You can switch BT Call Sign Off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number,
make sure you reset this function. This machine will automatically answer incoming calls that use your
new fax 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.

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies.
This service displays the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings.
• The [ID Unknown] message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area.
• The [ID Withheld] message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of Caller ID
information.
Call your telephone company for more information.
Once you answer a call, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD and is stored in Caller ID memory.
View the list or select a number and add it to the Address Book (the Speed Dial or One the Touch Dial in some
models), or delete it from the history.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information received by your machine.
• This feature is not available in some countries.
• The Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Contact your local telephone company to learn about
the service available in your area.

The machine's [Phone Line Set] default setting is [Normal], which lets the machine connect to a standard
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line. 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 PBX systems allowing you to gain
access to an outside line, or transfer calls to another extension. To use this feature, press the button in the table.

Program a press of the button in the table as part of a number stored in the Address Book (One Touch Dial
and Speed Dial in some models). When programming the Address Book number (One Touch Dial number
and Speed Dial number in some models), press the button first (the LCD displays ‘!’), then enter the
telephone number. This avoids having to press the button each time before you dial from the Address Book
(One Touch Dial or Speed Dial). Your Telephone Line Type must be set to PBX on the machine to use this
programming.

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 LCD will show [Telephone].
The external TAD must answer within four rings (we recommend setting 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.

1. Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax
tones.
2. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3. 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 press *51 and Start to send a fax.”
NOTE
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
faxes, then you should re-record the OGM to include it.

If you answer a fax call at an extension or an external telephone, you can make your machine take the call by
using the Remote Activation Code. When you press the Remote Activation Code *51, the machine starts to
receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at an
extension telephone by pressing the Remote Deactivation Code #51.
If you answer a call and no one is on the line:
You should assume that you’re receiving a manual fax.
Press *51 and wait for the chirp or until the LCD displays [Receiving], and then hang up.
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to make your machine automatically take the call.

Your premises may already be wired with parallel extension telephones, or you may plan to add extension
telephones to your line, as well as your machine. While the simplest arrangement is a straightforward parallel
connection, there are some problems with this. The most obvious is inadvertent interruption of a fax transmission
caused by someone picking up an extension telephone to make an outgoing call. Also, the remote activation
code feature may not operate reliably in such a simple configuration.
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a transmission at a preset time). This preset
job may coincide with someone picking up an extension handset.
These 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
this configuration the machine can always detect whether a telephone is in use. Thus it will not attempt to seize
the line during that time. This is known as “telephone off-hook 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 put into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

the call to the cordless handset.

We suggest you ask the company that 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 setting the Receive Mode to [Manual].
We cannot guarantee that your machine will operate correctly under all circumstances when connected to a PBX.
Any difficulties with sending or receiving faxes should be reported first to the company that handles your PBX.

Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to
the wireless LAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between
the two devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your
documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics,
you may want to consider selecting wired Ethernet for faster data transfer (supported models only), or USB
for the fastest throughput speed.
• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network (supported models only),
only one connection method can be used at a time. However, a wireless network connection and Wi-Fi Direct
connection, or a wired network connection (supported models only) and Wi-Fi Direct connection can be used
at the same time.
If you do not know the security information, please consult the router manufacturer, your system
administrator, or your Internet provider.

If the Wireless LAN Report shows that the connection failed, check the error code on the printed report and see
the corresponding instructions in the table:
Error Code Problem and Recommended Solutions
TS-01 The wireless setting is not activated, change the wireless setting to ON.
If a network cable is connected to your machine, disconnect it and change the wireless setting of
your machine to ON.
TS-02 The wireless access point/router cannot be detected.
1. Check the following two points:
• Unplug the power to your wireless access point/router, wait for 10 seconds, and then plug
it back in.
• If your WLAN access point/router is using MAC address filtering, confirm that the MAC
address of the Brother machine is allowed in the filter.
2. If you manually entered the SSID and security information (SSID/authentication method/
encryption method/Network Key), the information may be incorrect.
Reconfirm the SSID and security information and re-enter the correct information as
necessary.
This device does not support a 5 GHz SSID/ESSID and you must select a 2.4 GHz SSID/
ESSID. Make sure the access point/router is set to 2.4 GHz or 2.4 GHz/5 GHz mixed mode.
TS-04 The Authentication/Encryption methods used by the selected wireless access point/router are
not supported by your machine.
Change the authentication and encryption method of the wireless access point/router. Your
machine supports the following authentication methods:
• WPA-Personal
TKIP or AES
• WPA2-Personal
TKIP or AES
• Open
WEP or None (without encryption)
• Shared key
WEP
If your problem is not solved, the SSID or network settings you entered may be incorrect.
Confirm the wireless network settings.
TS-05 The security information (SSID/Network Key) is incorrect.
Confirm the wireless security information (Authentication method/Encryption method/Network
Key).
TS-06 The machine cannot detect a WLAN access point/router that has WPS enabled.
Confirm the wireless security information (Authentication method/Encryption method/Network
Key).
TS-07 The machine cannot detect a WLAN access point/router that has WPS enabled.
If you want to connect with WPS, you must operate both your machine and the WLAN access
point/router. Confirm the connection method for WPS on WLAN access point/router and try
starting again.
If you do not know how to operate your WLAN access point/router using WPS, see the
documentation provided with your WLAN access point/router, ask the manufacturer of your
WLAN access point/router or ask your network administrator.
324
Error Code Problem and Recommended Solutions
TS-08 Two or more WLAN access points that have WPS enabled are detected.
• Confirm that only one WLAN access point/router within range has the WPS method active
and try again.
• Try starting again after few minutes in order to avoid effects from other access points.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an effective method of protecting data sent over
a local or wide area network (LAN or WAN). It works by encrypting data, such as a print job, sent over a network,
so anyone trying to capture it will not be able to read it.
SSL/TLS can be configured on both wired and wireless networks and will work with other forms of security such
as WPA keys and firewalls.

SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers
and servers. For example, when you use Internet Explorer® for Internet Banking and you see https:// and the little
padlock icon in the web browser, you are using SSL. SSL grew to work with additional applications, such as
Telnet, printer, and FTP software, in order to become a universal solution for online security. Its original design
intentions are still being used today by many online retailers and banks to secure sensitive data, such as credit
card numbers, customer records, etc.
SSL/TLS uses extremely high levels of encryption and is trusted by banks all over the world.

The primary benefit of using SSL/TLS on Brother machines is to guarantee secure printing over an IP network by
restricting unauthorised users from reading data sent to the machine. SSL's key selling point is that it can be
used to print confidential data securely. For example, an HR department in a large company may be printing
wage slips on a regular basis. Without encryption, the data contained on these wages slips can be read by other
network users. However, with SSL/TLS, anyone trying to capture the data will see a confusing page of code and
not the actual wage slip.

Your Brother machine supports the use of multiple security certificates, which allows secure management,
authentication, and communication with the machine. The following security certificate features can be used with
the machine:
• SSL/TLS communication
• SSL communication for SMTP
The Brother machine supports the following:
• Pre-installed certificate
Your machine has a pre-installed self-signed certificate. This certificate enables you to use SSL/TLS
communication without creating or installing a different certificate.
The pre-installed self-signed certificate cannot protect your communication from being compromised. We
recommend using a certificate that is issued by a trusted organisation for better security.
• Self-signed certificate
This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS
communication without creating or installing a different certificate from a CA.
• Certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA)
There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a certificate from a CA or if
you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA:
- When using a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from this print server.
- When importing a certificate and a private key.
• Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate
To use a CA certificate that identifies the CA and owns its private key, you must import that CA certificate
from the CA before configuring the security features of the Network.
• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend contacting your system administrator
first.
• When you reset the print server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key
that are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after
resetting the print server, export them before resetting, and then reinstall them.

To manage your network machine securely, you must use management utilities with security protocols.
We recommend using the HTTPS protocol for secure management. To use this protocol, HTTPS must be
enabled on your machine.
• The HTTPS protocol is enabled by default.
• You can change the HTTPS protocol settings using the Web Based Management screen.
1. Start your web browser.
2. Type "https://Common Name" in your browser's address bar (where "Common Name" is the Common Name
that you assigned to the certificate; this could be your IP address, node name, or domain name).
3. No password is required by default. Type a password if you have set one, and then click .
4. You can now access the machine using HTTPS.
• If you use the SNMPv3 protocol, follow the steps below.
• You can also change the SNMP settings by using BRAdmin Professional.
5. Click the Network tab.
6. Click Protocol.
7. Make sure the SNMP setting is enabled, and then click Advanced Settings.
8. Configure the SNMP settings.
There are three options for SNMP Mode of Operation.
•SNMP v1/v2c read-write access
375
In this mode, the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all
Brother applications in this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user, and data
will not be encrypted.
•SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access
In this mode, the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version
1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.
When you use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some Brother
applications (such as BRAdmin Light) that access the print server do not work correctly since they authorise
the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, we recommend using
SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.
•SNMPv3 read-write access
In this mode, the print server uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server
securely, use this mode.
When you use SNMPv3 read-write access mode, note the following:
- You can use only BRAdmin Professional or Web Based Management to manage the print server.
- Except for BRAdmin Professional, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow the
use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or
SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.
9. Click Submit.

To use BRAdmin Professional utility, you must:
• Use the latest version of BRAdmin Professional. Go to your model's Downloads page on the Brother
Solutions Center at support.brother.com.
• Use Web Based Management with the HTTPS protocol if you use BRAdmin Professional and Web Based
Management together.
• Use a different password in each group if you are managing a mixed group of older and newer print servers
with BRAdmin Professional. This will ensure security is maintained on the newer print servers.
• "Older versions of BRAdmin" refer to BRAdmin Professional older than Ver. 2.80 and BRAdmin Light for
Mac older than Ver.1.10.
• "Older print servers" refer to NC-2000 series, NC-2100p, NC-3100h, NC-3100s, NC-4100h, NC-5100h,

Telephone Line or Connections
Difficulties Suggestions
Dialling does not work. (No dial tone) Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone
line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the
LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or
VoIP services, contact your service provider for
connection instructions.
(Available only for some countries.)
Change the Tone/Pulse setting.
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 using the external telephone.
Wait to hear the fax receiving tones before sending fax.
If there is no dial tone, connect a known working
telephone and telephone line cord to the socket. Then lift
the external telephone’s handset and listen for a dial tone.
If there is still no dial tone, ask your telephone company
to check the line and/or wall socket.
The machine does not answer when called. Make sure the machine is in the correct receive mode for
your setup.
Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to
hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check that the
telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall
socket and the LINE socket of the machine. If there is no
ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone
company to check the line.
Handling Incoming Calls
Difficulties Suggestions
Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an extension or external telephone,
press your Remote Activation Code (the factory setting is
*51). If you answered on the external telephone, press
the Start button to receive the fax.
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 (Error Correction Mode) 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
480
Difficulties Suggestions
interruption is crucial to your business, we recommend
using a separate telephone line with no custom features.
Receiving Faxes
Difficulties Suggestions
Cannot receive a fax. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone
line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the
LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or
VoIP services, contact your service provider for
connection instructions. If you are using a VoIP system,
try changing the VoIP setting to Basic (for VoIP). This will
lower modem speed and turn off Error Correction Mode
(ECM).
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.
• 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 receive incoming faxes automatically 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 receive
faxes automatically and produce a pseudo/double-ring
to alert you to answer voice calls.
• If you do not want your Brother machine to answer
any incoming faxes automatically, 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 Receive Mode is set to Fax Only or Fax/Tel,
reduce the Ring Delay to one ring.
See Related Information: Set the Number of Rings
Before the Machine Answers (Ring Delay).
• If the Receive Mode is set to External TAD, reduce the
number of rings programmed on your answering
machine to two.
• If the Receive 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 correctly. 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.
481
Difficulties Suggestions
• 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.
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.
1. Set your answering machine to answer in one or two
rings.
2. 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 Remote
Activation Code for people sending manual faxes.
For example: “After the beep, leave a message or
press *51 and Start to send a fax.”
3. Set your answering machine to answer calls.
4. Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to External
TAD.
See Related Information: Choose the Correct Receive
Mode.
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 answered the call on an external
or extension telephone.
If you often get transmission errors due to possible
interference on the telephone line or if you are using a
VoIP system, try changing the Compatibility setting to
Basic(for VoIP).
Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function
Lock Settings.
Sending Faxes

To free up extra memory, you can turn off Fax Storage,
print fax messages in memory or cancel a delayed fax. 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 or if you are using a
VoIP system, try changing the Compatibility setting to
Basic(for VoIP).
Sent faxes are blank. Make sure you are loading the document correctly. When
using the ADF, the document should be face up. When
using the scanner glass, the document should be face
down.
Vertical black lines when sending. Black vertical lines on faxes you send are typically
caused by dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip. Clean
the glass strip.
Printing received faxes
Difficulties Suggestions
• Condensed print
• Horizontal streaks
• Top and bottom sentences are cut off
• Missing lines
This is usually caused by a poor telephone connection.
Make a copy; 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.
Vertical black lines when receiving The corona wire for printing may be dirty.
Clean the corona wire in the drum unit.
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.
Received faxes appear as split or blank pages. Left and right margins are cut off or a single page is
printed on two pages.
Turn on Auto Reduction.

Replace Supplies
You must replace supplies when the machine indicates that the life of the supply is over.
Using non-Brother supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine reliability. The toner
cartridge and drum unit are two separate supplies. Make sure both are installed as an assembly. The model
name of supplies may vary depending on the country.
NOTE
• Be sure to seal up the used supplies tightly in a bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the
cartridge.
• Visit www.brother.com/original/index.html for instructions on how to return your used supplies to the
Brother collection and recycling program. If you choose not to return your used supply, discard the used
supply according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. If you have questions,
contact your local waste disposal office.
• We recommend placing used and new supplies on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally spilling or
scattering the material inside.
• If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended print media, the life of supplies and
machine parts may be reduced.
• The projected life for each of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of replacement
will vary depending on the print volume, percentage of coverage, types of media used, and powering
on/off the machine.
• Frequency of replacing supplies except toner cartridges will vary depending on the print volume, types of
media used, and powering on/off the machine.
• Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe or wash
it off with cold water.
IMPORTANT
• To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.

Replace the Toner Cartridge
1. Make sure the machine is turned on.
2. Open the front cover.
3. Remove the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly from the machine.
4. Push down the green lock lever and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit.
5. Unpack the new toner cartridge.
6. Remove the protective cover.
7. Push the new toner cartridge firmly into the drum unit until you hear it lock into place.
516
Make sure you put the toner cartridge in correctly or it may separate from the drum unit.
8. Clean the corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the green tab from left to right and right to left
several times.
Be sure to return the tab to the Home position (a). The arrow on the tab must be aligned with the arrow on
the drum unit. If it is not, printed pages may have a vertical stripe.
9. Install the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly back into the machine.
10. Close the front cover of the machine.
• After replacing a toner cartridge, DO NOT turn off the machine or open the front cover until the
machine's display returns to Ready Mode.
• The toner cartridge that comes with your Brother machine is a Inbox toner cartridge.
• It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the Toner Low warning.
• To ensure high quality printing, we recommend using only Brother Original toner cartridges. When you
want to buy toner cartridges, contact Brother Dealer.
• DO NOT unpack the new toner cartridge until you are ready to install it.
• If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long time, the toner life will be shortened.
• Brother strongly recommends you DO NOT refill the toner cartridge provided with your machine. We
also strongly recommend you continue to use only Brother Original replacement toner cartridges. Use
or attempted use of third party toner and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the
machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our limited warranty coverage does not apply
to any problem that is caused by the use of third party toner and/or cartridges. To protect your
investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we strongly recommend the
use of Brother Original Supplies.

7. Install the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly back into the machine.
8. Close the front cover of the machine.
NOTE
• Drum wear and tear occurs due to use and rotation of the drum and interaction with paper, toner and
other materials in the paper path. In designing this product, Brother decided to use the number of
rotations of the drum as a reasonable determinant of the drum life. When a drum reaches the factory-
established rotation limit corresponding to the rated page yield, the product’s LCD will advise you to
replace the drum. The product will continue to function; however, print quality may not be optimal.
• If an unpacked drum unit is placed in direct sunlight (or room light for long periods of time), the unit may
be damaged.
• There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as the temperature, humidity, type of
paper, type of toner used and so on. Under ideal conditions, the average drum life is estimated at
approximately 12,000 pages (based on 1 page per job [A4/Letter single-sided pages]. The number of
pages may be affected due to a variety of factors including but not limited to media type and media size.
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.
• For best performance, use only Brother Original toner.
• The machine should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.
• Printing with a non-Brother drum unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of
the machine itself. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of a non-Brother
drum unit.

Home > Appendix > Information Regarding Recycled Paper
Information Regarding Recycled Paper
• Recycled paper is of the same quality as paper made from original forest sources. Standards governing
modern recycled paper ensure that it meets the highest quality requirements for different printing processes.
The imaging equipment supplied by the VA signatories is suitable for using with recycled paper meeting the
EN 12281:2002 standard.
• Purchasing recycled paper saves natural resources and promotes the circular economy. Paper is made using
cellulose fibres from wood. Collecting and recycling paper extends the life of fibres over multiple life cycles,
making the best use of the resources.
• The recycled paper production process is shorter. The fibres have already been processed, so less water and
energy, and fewer chemicals are used.
• Paper recycling has the benefit of saving carbon by diverting paper products from alternative disposal routes
such as landfill and incineration. Landfill waste emits methane gas, which has a powerful greenhouse effect.
