Estudio 190f Fax Machine keeps defaulting to copy mode, how do we get it to stay in fax mode?

my dear reast all maintaince counter in program 08

you must connect the machine with you're computer.you want the fax you must check the you're photocopy machine have a fax board.you want the scan & printing connect the photocopy machine to the computer.(network cable)

I found this online today:

Mode Timer

The (Brother MFC-8480 DN) machine has 3 mode keys on the control panel: Fax, Scan and Copy

You can set how much time the machine takes after the last COPY or SCAN operation to return to FAX mode. If you choose OFF, the machine will stay in the mode you last used.

1. Press MENU, 1, 1.

2. 2. Press up/down arrows to choose the amount of seconds or OFF. Press OK.

3. 3. Press STOP/EXIT. I haven't tested this yet, as the machine I'm trying to adjust is at my workplace, but maybe this answer is what we're looking for.

the default setting is fax press the copy button to enter copy mode.you can only change or adjust the number of minutes or seconds it stays in the copy mode from the mode timer button after that it returns to the default mode

U can try reset ur MFP to default mode by pressing " *+1+3 " and ON the MFP.

Machine goes into sleep mode when not being used When it recieves or you copy something it will come out of sleep mode If its not recieving then you need to check your recieving settings

if you push the copy button you will be in copy mode.


are you saying you want your default to be in copy?

Your Brother machine#s Sleep Mode function reduces power consumption while the machine is idle. You can adjust how long your Brother machine is idle (between 00 and 99 minutes) before Sleep Mode is initiated. Please note that the default setting is 00 minutes, and the timer automatically resets itself after the Brother machine receives a fax,receives data from your PC, or makes a copy. To adjust your Brother machine#s Sleep Mode setting, please follow these steps:

1. Press MENU/SET, 1 (General Setup), 7 (Sleep Mode).

2. Use the dial pad to enter the amount of time the fax machine is idle before Sleep Mode is initiated (00 to 99 minutes).

3. Press the MENU/SET key to confirm your choice.

4. Press the STOP/EXIT key to exit the menu.

NOTE: If you frequently print, copy, or fax, set the idle time long
enough to insure that you will not always have to wait for the Brother machine to warm up.

NOTE: The Phaser 6110MFP|XN is preset to the Fax mode, but can be switched between the Fax mode and the Copy mode.

1. Press the [Menu] button on the Control Panel until 'System Setup' is displayed on the bottom line of the Display Screen, and then press the [Enter] button.
   
   
   
   
2. Press the [Left] or [Right] arrow button until 'Machine Setup' is displayed, and then press the [Enter] button.
3. Press the [Left] or [Right] arrow button until 'Default Mode' is displayed, and then press the [Enter] button.
4. Press the [Left] or [Right] arrow button until the required default mode is displayed, and then press the [Enter] button.
5. Press the [Stop / Clear] button to return to the Standby mode.
   
   

did you put the originals page(s) in the machine FIRST to fax, then enter the number then press start?
If you enter the phone number 1st BEFORE putting your originals in the feeder, the machine thinks you want to make a copy.
The FAX Mode is the setting for incoming faxes.
Try that and let me know if it works.
There should also be a button called "Hook" or "speaker" or something that you hit and you will hear the dial tone.
Once you hear the dial tone, you can dial the number, (make sure the pages you want to fax is in the feeder.
Once you hear the fax high pitch noise, hit the start button.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if it does and also remember to leave a feedback and rating if I have helped you.
Thanks and good luck.
