PC-FAX Receive
(For Windows® only) 7
If you turn on the PC-Fax Receive feature
your machine will store received faxes in
memory and send them to your PC
automatically. You can then use your PC to
view and store these faxes.
Even if you have turned off your PC (at night
or on the weekend, for example), your
machine will receive and store your faxes in
its memory. The LCD will show the number of
stored faxes received, for example:
PC Fax Msg:001
When you start your PC and the PC-Fax
Receiving software runs, your machine
transfers your faxes to your PC automatically.
To transfer the received faxes to your PC you

bPick up the machine’s handset to

Connecting an external
TAD (MFC-1810,
MFC-1811 and
MFC-1814 only) 8
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
display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four
rings (we recommend you set 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.
NOTE
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring delay setting on your
external TAD to one or two rings.

For Fax/Tel mode only 8
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (fast double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset
(MFC-1810, MFC-1811 and MFC-1814 only)
or the machine (MFC-1815 only), and then
press Hook or Hook/Hold to answer.
Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset 8
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the telephone line cord (see
Connecting an external or extension
telephone on page 48) and you typically carry
the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to
answer calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, lift the
cordless handset and then go to the machine
so you can press Hook or Hook/Hold to
transfer the call to the cordless handset.
NOTE
Not all brands of cordless telephones are

Consumable items A
The drum unit and toner cartridge are two separate consumables. Make sure both are installed as
an assembly. For more information on how to replace the consumable items, see the instructions
included with the drum unit for replacing the drum unit or see the instructions listed on the box of
the toner cartridge for replacing the toner cartridge.
IMPORTANT
Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to
a level of optimum performance when used with Brother Original toner cartridges. Brother
cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications
are used. The machine may not detect toner or toner cartridges of other specifications correctly
but may instead detect such items as standard yield toner cartridges. Brother does not
therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges with this
machine, or the refilling of empty cartridges with toner from other sources. If damage is caused
to the drum unit or other parts of this machine as a result of the use of toner or toner cartridges
other than Brother Original products due to the incompatibility or lack of suitability of those
products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the
warranty.
For best performance, use Brother Original drum and toner units. Printing with a third party
drum unit or toner unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the
machine itself. Warranty coverage may not apply to problems caused by the use of a third party
drum or toner unit.
NOTE
Discard used consumable items according to local regulations, keeping it separate from
domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office. Be sure to reseal
the consumable items tightly so that the material inside does not spill.

If you are having difficulty with your machine A
Most problems can be easily resolved by yourself. If you need additional help, the Brother
Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips.
Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com/.
Telephone and Fax problems (MFC-1810, MFC-1811, MFC-1814
and MFC-1815) A
If you cannot send or receive a fax, check the following:
1 Check the machine's power cord is connected correctly and the machine is turned on.
2 Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the area labelled "LINE," and then connect the
other end of the telephone line cord directly to a telephone wall socket.
If you can send and receive faxes when the telephone line is directly connected to the fax, the
problem may be unrelated to the machine. Please contact your service provider for connection
issues.
3 Check the receive mode.
For more information on setting the Receive mode, see Receive modes on page 37.

Troubleshooting for other problems
Question Answer
Cannot receive a fax. If you have a dedicated fax line and want your Brother machine to automatically
answer all incoming faxes, you should choose Fax Only.
Can I set the machine not to print
the Transmission Verification
report?
Even if the Transmission Verification report is set to Off, a report is printed when
there is a communication error.
If the Journal Period is set to Off, Fax Journal are not printed.
Can I cancel the fax job? Press Stop/Exit to cancel the fax, or press Menu 2, 6 (for MFC-1811 and
MFC-1814 only) or Menu 2, 7 (for MFC-1810 and MFC-1815 only) to cancel the
remaining jobs.
Poor sending quality. Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine, or clean the scanner.
Sent faxes are blank. Make sure you are loading the document correctly. The document should be face
down when using the ADF or the scanner glass. See Loading documents
on page 33.
Vertical black lines when sending. Black vertical lines on faxes you send are typically caused by dirt or correction
fluid on the glass strip. See Clean the inside of the machine. on page 67.
66
Improving the print quality A
NOTE
Brother does not recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges or the
refilling of used cartridges with toner from other sources.
If you are having problems with print results, check the following:
1 The machine's environment.
Choose a location where the temperature remains between 10 C and 32.5 C and the
humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).
2 Acceptable paper is loaded in the paper tray.
See Acceptable paper on page 32.
3 The paper is loaded correctly in the machine.
Turning the paper over may help paper loading
become smoother.
Adjusting the guide may help paper loading
become smoother.
