You can set the date and time from the control panel:

1) Press <Menu>

2) Press arrows select "Initial Setup" Press <OK>

3) Press arrows select "Date and Time" Press <OK>

4) Use numbers to enter year - last two digits <OK>

5) Use numbers for month, <OK>

6) Use numbers for day, <OK>

7) Use numbers for time - 24 hour format, press <OK>

8) Press <Stop/Exit> to return to normal function

After you change to fax mode, press menu and then general setup for the date and time. After that you scroll down to fax setup to change the header.

While the fax mode light is lit, press menu and scroll down to general setup and enter, the date and time is one of the first settings. If you go to reports and print user settings the print is laid out the same as the menu structure like a roadmap to the different settings.

click MENU-then click use the arrow keys down to go to "initial setup" AND CLICK ok THEN ARROW KEYS DOWN UNTIL YOU GET TO DATE/TIME and then you will be able to enter the year, month, day, click ok after each one is entered, and there you go, VERY EASY. GOOD LUCK

I need help with my MFC 240 c Brother printer. I cannot send faxes or receive faxes. I do not know how to set the setting. Plus I lost my book that went with it.

OK.
