Send a fax without scanning the documents into memory.

Real Time Transmission allows you to send faxes without first scanning the documents into memory.


When Real Time Transmission is on, you place the document in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or on the flat scanner glass and dial the fax number you want to send to. As soon as your fax line is free, your machine will dial the fax number and send the fax in real time.


You can make Real Time Transmission your default sending setting or temporarily activate it for the next fax you send.


To turn Real Time Transmission on, follow these steps:

*If your Brother machine has a touchscreen, please follow the steps under "For touchscreen models" below.

  1. Press the FAX key to illuminate it.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Place the document you want to fax in the ADF.

    • Place the document you want to fax face down on the flat scanner glass.

  3. Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW key to choose Real Time TX.

  4. Press the LEFT OR RIGHT ARROW key to choose On.

  7. Do one of the following:

    • Press the Color (Colour) Start key to send a color fax.
  • When you are using Real Time Transmission, the automatic redial feature will not work when you send a fax from the flat scanner glass.

  • If you are sending a color fax, the machine will send the fax in real time even if Real Time Transmission is off.

  • If the machine's memory is full and you are sending a black and white fax from the ADF, the machine will send the fax in real time even if Real Time Transmission is off.

  • If the machine's memory is full, you cannot send a fax from the flat scanner glass until you clear some of the memory.
