Cannot receive a fax.

If you are using a telephone answering machine (
External TAD
mode) on the
same line as the Brother machine, make sure your answering machine is set up
correctly. (See
Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device)
on page 45.)
1
Plug the telephone line cord directly from the wall telephone jack to your
Brother machine’s LINE jack.
2
Remove the protective cap from your Brother machine’s EXT. jack, and then
plug the telephone line cord from your answering machine into the EXT. jack.
3
Set your answering machine to answer within 4 rings.
If you are having problems receiving faxes or voice messages, set your
answering machine to answer within 2 or 3 rings.
4
Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.
Record five seconds of silence at the beginning of your outgoing message.
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
End your outgoing message with your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or
press
l
5 1
and
Start
to send a fax.”
5
Set your answering machine to answer calls.
6
Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to
External TAD
. (See
Choose
the correct Receive Mode
on page 35.)
Make sure your Brother machine’s Easy Receive feature is turned On. Easy
Receive is a feature that allows you to receive a fax even if you have answered
the call on an external or extension telephone. (See
Easy Receive
on page 39.)
If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone
line, try changing the Compatibility setting to
Basic(for VoIP)
. (See
Telephone line interference / VoIP
on page 98.)

Suggestions
Cannot send a fax.
Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into
the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine.
Make sure that the
FAX
key is illuminated.
Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.
Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error. (See
Reports
in
chapter 6
of the
Advanced User’s Guide
.)
Transmission Verification Report
says “
RESULT
:
NG
”.
There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again. If
you send a PC FAX message and get “
RESULT
:
NG
” on the Transmission
Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To gain extra memory,
you can turn off Memory Receive (see
Turning off Memory Receive operations
in
chapter 4
of the
Advanced User’s Guide
), print fax messages in memory (see
Printing a fax from the memory
in
chapter 4
of the
Advanced User’s Guide
) or cancel
a Delayed Fax or Polling Job. (see
Canceling a fax in progress
on page 33 and
Checking and canceling waiting jobs
in
chapter 3
of the
Advanced User’s Guide
.) If
the problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your telephone line.
If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone
line, try changing the menu setting of Compatibility to
Basic(for VoIP)
.
