About Brother Paper

For the best print quality, use Brother Therma Plus Paper, Item Numbers 6890 (two 98’ rolls) or 6840 (four 98’ rolls). Therma Plus paper is thicker, like plain paper, and produces the best print quality.

The recording paper roll size for your fax machine is limited to a diameter of 2.76 inches (70 mm). You can use a 164’ roll of thinner thermal paper as long as it meets these requirements.

Connect the handset

Connect the curled handset cord to the bottom of the handset and the side of the fax machine.
