Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?
Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have othernames for this service, such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring,
Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate
Number Ringing. See Related Information: Distinctive Ring .
Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong
possibility that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving
incoming calls. See Related Information: Voice Mail.
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as yourBrother machine?
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will answer every call automatically. Voicemessages are stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Select [External

Fax and Telephone Problems
If you cannot send or receive a fax, check the following:
one end of the telephone line cord to the area labelled "LINE", and then connect
1 Connect
the other end of the telephone line cord directly to a telephone wall jack.
If you can send and receive faxes when the telephone line is directly connected to the fax,
the problem may be unrelated to the machine. Please contact your telephone service
provider for connection issues.

2 Check the Receive Mode.
See Related Information:• Receive Modes• Choose the Correct Receive Mode3 Try changing the compatibility settings.

You may be able to send and receive faxes by lowering the connection speed.

For more information, see Related Information: Set Telephone Line Compatibility forInterference and VoIP Systems.
If the problem still is not resolved, turn the machine off, and then turn it on.

Troubleshooting for Other Fax Problems
Difficulties

Suggestions

Cannot send a fax.

Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord isplugged into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine.
If you subscribe to DSL, VoIP, or MagicJack services, call your service
provider for connection instructions. If you are using a VoIP system, trychanging the Compatibility setting to Basic (for VoIP). This will lower
modem speed and turn off Error Correction Mode (ECM).
Make sure you pressed Fax and the machine is in Fax mode.
Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error.
Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock
Settings.
Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.

Cannot receive a fax.

Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing Hook. If there isno dial tone, connect a known working telephone and telephone line
cord to the LINE jack. Then lift the external telephone's handset andlisten for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone or if you hear static
or interference on your fax line, contact your local telephone company
to check the line.
If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD
Mode) on the same line as the Brother machine, make sure youranswering machine is set up correctly.
1. Plug the telephone line cord directly from the wall telephone jack toyour 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 four rings.
If you are having problems receiving faxes or voice messages, set
your answering machine to answer within two or three rings.
4. Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.
• Record five seconds of silence at the beginning of your outgoingmessage.
• Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
• End your outgoing message with your Fax Receive Code forpeople sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep,
leave a message or press *51 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.
Make sure your Brother machine’s Easy Receive feature is turned On.
Easy Receive allows you to receive a fax even if you answered the callon an external or extension telephone.
