Using Special Paper
Always test paper samples before purchasing
them to ensure desirable performance.
DO NOT use inkjet paper; it may cause a
paper jam or damage your machine.
If you use bond paper, paper with a rough
surface, or paper that is wrinkled or
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded
performance.
Store paper in its original packaging and keep
it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
IMPORTANT
Some types of paper may not perform well or
may cause damage to your machine.
DO NOT use paper:
that is highly textured
that is extremely smooth or shiny
that is curled or warped
that is coated or has a chemical finish
that is damaged, creased or folded
that exceeds the recommended weight
specification in this guide
with tabs and staples
with letterheads using low temperature
dyes or thermography
that is multipart or carbonless
that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed
above, they may damage your machine. This
damage is not covered under any Brother
warranty or service agreement.

Use Brother's PC-FAX software to receive
faxes on your computer, screen them, and
print only those faxes you want.
Even if you turn off your computer (at
night or on the weekend, for example),
your machine will receive and store your
faxes in its memory. The number of
received faxes that are stored in the
memory appears on the LCD.
When you start your computer and the
PC-Fax Receive software runs, your
MFC transfers your faxes to your
computer automatically.
For PC-Fax Receive to work, the PC-
FAX Receive software must be running
on your computer.
Before you can set up PC-Fax Receive,
you must install the MFL-Pro Suite
software on your computer. Make sure
your Brother machine is connected to
your computer and turned on.
If your machine displays an error and is
unable to print faxes from memory, use
PC-FAX to transfer your faxes to a
computer.
PC-Fax Receive is not available for
Macintosh.
