| 551888 | 2007-05-21 23:55:00 | Does anyone know how to reset a Brother MFC-240 back to factory default settings? A friend has accidentally set it to Australia instead of NZ when he first set it up and he can't set up faxability properly . There is no obvious options in the menus to reset the printer and I can't find any reference in the user manual either . We've tried emailing Brother Helpdesk but have not heard back . The retailer knew nothing and the local Brother service agent didn't want to know as it wasn't a fault and that they will only deal with us if we were referred by Brother Help Desk, which means we have to call their 0900 number . Personally, I think that is a rip . |

| 551892 | 2007-05-22 04:52:00 | Somehow I dont think its a setting in whatever is installed . As these printers (if its like the MFC-215C) u can also set the settings on the fax itself (the settings are separate from what gets installed) . And according the manual here (not your printer), it doesnt say anything bout Faxability in Oz, only NZ . And all u do on this one (might be the same as the one there) . You press Menu/Set 2,0,3 Press up/down arrows set faxibility to on Press menu/Set Press up/down arrows to turn call waiting on or off . Press Menu/Set Press Exit/Stop |

| 551893 | 2007-05-22 11:26:00 | Thank you everyone for your responses . My friend is using the MFC-240C as a standalone fax machine, he hasn't got a computer yet! (Yes, people like him still exists :waughh: ) I have already been through all the menu options . The Faxability option is not available when the fax is set up for Australia, only the "Distinctive ring" option is available . Anyway, I finally got a response from Brother, but won't be able to try it out till I get to my friend's place this weekend . This may be of interests to others as well . . . Pull the power to the machine and hold down "Menu/set" then power the machine back on while holding the button . Wait until it says "Maintenance" type 74 and there will be a 4 digit code . Type 0056 and press "Start" then type 99 and the machine will ask you to choose the country again . Carefully follow the options and confirm your choice . While we are on this subject, I have recently came across a faxability issue with a HP multifunction, can't remember the model number off hand . After a few sessions with HP's help desk in India, I managed to talk to a very helpful lady who immediately knew what the answer was! She emailed me a long list of cryptic steps to press on the printer, which effectively re-program the fax to recognise the NZ faxability ring tone . I don't understand why HP would sell a multi-function printer in NZ without the faxability function out of the box though, so weird :confused: ! |
