Please call 1-800-521-2846 and follow the voice prompts to receive faxed instructions on how to use the system and the Index of Fax-BackSM subjects. Connecting the Brother Copyboard to the computer Follow the instructions below to hook up the CopyPoint PC Link Cable. 1) Position your Brother Copyboard near your personal computer CPU (maximum distance of approximately 5-6 feet). 2) Make sure the power to both machines is switched off. 3) Remove the black cover on the PC I/F terminal at the left side of your Brother Copyboard. Connect the RJ-8 connector of the CopyPoint PC Link Cable in the jack. 4) Connect the 25-pin female RS-232 connector of the Cable to your PC in an available male serial communications port. Use the 9-pin adapter if your PC requires it. (See your PC owner's manual for the correct interface port for connection.) NOTE: If your PC is an IBM Aptiva, an MWAVE card is using COM1. You must connect the CopyPoint PC Link Cable to another COM serial port that is available. ii INTRODUCTION
