For technical help, you must call the country where you bought the

Error messages

As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur. If this
happens, your MFC identifies the problem and displays an error
message. The most common error messages are shown below.
You can correct most problems by yourself. If you need additional
help, call the Brother fax back system (USA only).
