TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION
I. TRANSMISSION OF DOCUMENTS
1. Insert the original document face down into the unit's scanner, aligning the document's
left edge with the document guide. The unit will pull the original partly into the scanner.
Insert one original sheet at a time I (see 4-f below).
2. Set the contrast switch (bottom front of the unit) to match the image density of the
original (D for dark, N for normal, L for light original, respectively).
3. Specify the FINE or PHOTO mode by pressing the FINE/PHOTO button. Unless you
specify either of these modes, the unit will automatically select the NORMAL mode
Please note that NORMAL offers the fastest transmission speed, followed by FINE and
then the PHOTO (the slowest).
4. Pick up the handset. After you hear the dial tone, dial the other party's number.
(a) If a voice answers, ask the other party to activate manual fax reception (if the
other unit is a Brother unit, the other party will push the START/COPY button;
if it is not a Brother unit, the other party may have to follow a different
procedure).
(b) If the other unit is set to automatic facsimile reception, you will hear the fax ready
tone. Press the START/COPY button. The START/COPY lamp will light up.
As the transmission starts, the lamp will stay on until completion.
(c) When the transmission is underway, repiace the handset in its cradle.
(d) The original document will be pulled through the scanner.
(e) When a page is transmitted, the unit wiii emit a short beep.
(f) To transmit more than one page, wait for the short beep referred to in (e) and
feed in the next page. If no new document is fed into a scanner following the
short beep, a long beep will sound signifying the termination of the transmission
mode. The unit will release the phone line.
You can use the REDIAL button for automatically redialing the last number dialed (if, for
instance, it was busy when you first tried transmitting the document). To use this feature,
simply press the REDIAL button.
You may dial a number with the handset in its cradle. This can be done by pressing the HOOK
button and then dialing the number.
IMPORTANT TRANSMISSION INFORMATION:
• Transmit papers one at a time.
• Do not transmit very thick pages (over 0.15mm thick). If you have to transmit such
pages, use a photocopier (not the FAX-150) to make a copy and transmit the copy
instead.
• Do not transmit wrinkled, wet, curled or torn documents. Make a photocopy and
transmit it instead.
