Cannot send a fax. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is
plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the
machine. If you subscribe to DSL or VoIP services, contact your
service provider for connection instructions.
Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error.
Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.
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.
1. Connect the external TAD as shown in the illustration.
For more information, see the Online User's Guide: External TAD
(Telephone Answering Device).
2. Set your answering machine to answer in one or two rings.
3. 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 Remote Activation Code
for people sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep,
leave a message or press *51 and Start to send a fax.”
