IPSec 2
IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a security
protocol that uses an optional Internet
Protocol function to prevent manipulation and
ensure the confidentiality of data transmitted
as IP packets. IPsec encrypts data carried
over the network, such as print jobs sent from
computers to a printer. Because the data is
encrypted at the network layer, applications
that use a higher-level protocol use IPsec
even if the user is not aware of its use.
IPsec supports the following operations:

Telephone line
services 5
Tone or Pulse (Canada only) 5
If you have a Pulse dialing service, but must
send Tone signals (for example, for
telephone banking), follow these steps. If you
have Touch Tone service, you will not need
this feature to send tone signals.
aDo one of the following:
When Fax Preview is set to Off,
press (Fax).
When Fax Preview is set to On, press
(Fax) and Sending
Fax(es).
bPress Hook.
cPress # on the machine’s Touchpanel.
Any digits dialed after this will send tone
signals.
When you are finished with the call, the
machine will return to the Pulse dialing service.
For Fax/Tel mode only 5
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick
up a voice call.
If you are at the machine, lift the external
telephone’s handset, and then press Pickup
to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, lift the
handset during the F/T Ring Time and then
press #51 between the pseudo/double rings.
If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to
send you a fax, send the call back to the
machine by pressing l51.
Special line considerations 5
Roll over telephone lines 5
A roll over telephone system is a group of two
or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy.
The calls are usually passed down or “rolled
over” to the next available telephone line in a
preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll over system
as long as it is the last number in the
sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not
place the machine on any of the other
numbers; when the other lines are busy and
a second fax call is received, the fax call
would be transferred to a line that does not
have a fax machine. Your machine will
work best on a dedicated line.
Two-line telephone system 5
A two-line telephone system is nothing more
than two separate telephone numbers on the
same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers
can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined
into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be
plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance
and both may contain four wires (black, red,
green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in
a two-line telephone and see if it can access
both lines. If it can, you must separate the line
for your machine.
Dialing and storing numbers 5

Converting telephone wall outlets 5
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11
jack. The first two ways may require
assistance from the telephone company. You
can change the wall outlets from one RJ14
jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an
RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump
one of the telephone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex
adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into
an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a
third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your
machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into
L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on
Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triplex adapter.
Installing machine, external two-line
TAD and two-line telephone 5
When you are installing an external two-line
telephone answering device (TAD) and a
two-line telephone, your machine must be
isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common connection is
to place the machine on Line 2, which is
explained in the following steps. The back of
the two-line TAD must have two telephone
jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other
labeled L2. You will need at least three
telephone line cords, the one that came with
your machine and two for your external
two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord
if you add a two-line telephone.
aPlace the two-line TAD and the two-line
telephone next to your machine.
bPlug one end of the telephone line cord
for your machine into the L2 jack of the
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into
the LINE jack on the back of the
machine.
cPlug one end of the first telephone line
cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into
the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
dPlug one end of the second telephone
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of
the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into
the EXT. jack on the left side of the
machine.
1 Triplex Adapter
2 Two Line Telephone
3 External Two Line TAD
4 Machine
You can keep two-line telephones on other
wall outlets as always. There are two ways to
add a two-line telephone to the machine’s
wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line
cord from the two-line telephone into the
L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can
plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack
of the two-line TAD.

Additional dialing
operations 5
Dialing access codes and
credit card numbers 5
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 dialing sequences by dividing them and
setting them up as separate Address Book
numbers in any combination. You can even
include manual dialing using the dial pad
(see Basic User's Guide).
For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on
Address Book: Brother 1 and ‘7000’ on
Address Book: Brother 2. You can use them
both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the
following:
aPress (Fax).
bPress Address Book.
cSwipe up or down, or press aor b to
display the number of Brother 1.
dPress the number.
ePress Apply.
fPress Address Book.
gSwipe up or down, or press aor b to
display the number of Brother 2.
hPress the number.
iPress Apply.
jPress Fax Start. You will dial
‘555-7000’.
To temporarily change a number, you can
substitute part of the number by pressing it on
the dial pad. For example, to change the
number to ‘555-7001’, you could enter the
number (Brother 1: 555) using Address Book,
press Apply and then press 7001 on the dial
pad.
NOTE
If you must wait for another dial tone or
signal at any point in the dialing sequence,
create a pause in the number by pressing
Pause. Each key press adds a
3.5-second delay. You can press Pause
as many times as needed to increase the
length of the pause.

Cleaning and checking
the machine A
Clean the outside and inside of the machine
regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. When you
replace the toner cartridge or the drum unit,
make sure you clean the inside of the
machine. If printed pages are stained with
toner, clean the inside of the machine with a
dry, lint-free cloth.
WARNING
• DO NOT put a toner cartridge into a fire.
It could explode, resulting in injuries.
• DO NOT use flammable substances,
any type of spray, or an organic
solvent/liquid containing alcohol or
ammonia to clean the inside or outside
of the product. Doing so could cause a
fire or electrical shock. Instead, use only
a dry, lint-free cloth.
(See Product Safety Guide.)
IMPORTANT
• Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with
volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine
will damage the surface of the machine.
• DO NOT use cleaning materials that
contain ammonia.
• DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol to remove
dirt from the control panel. It may crack the
panel.

unit gears (1) are on the left hand side.
pRead following information from the
drum dot check sheet.
Dot color problem:
The color of printed dots is the color
of the drum you should clean.
Dot location:
The sheet has eight numbered
columns. The number of the column
with the printed dots in it is used to
find the dot position on the drum.

78
qUse the numbered markers next to the
drum roller to find the mark. For
example, a cyan dot in column 2 on the
check sheet would mean that there is a
mark in the “2” region of the cyan drum.
rIdentify the drum indicated by the
colored dot in step q. Hold the drum
unit frame with both hands, place your
left thumb on the drum unit gear, and roll
the drum toward you, as illustrated in the
drawing below. Look in the numbered
area identified in step q for any marks
or scratches.
IMPORTANT
• To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT
touch the surface of the drum unit with
your bare hands.
• Handle the drum unit gear carefully.
• The drum is photosensitive so DO NOT
touch it with your fingers.
• DO NOT clean the surface of the
photosensitive drum with a sharp object or
