If You Are Having Difficulty with Your FAX/MFC

If you think there is a problem with your FAX/MFC, make a copy first. If
the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your FAX/MFC. Check
the difficulties below and follow the troubleshooting tips.

Printing or Receiving Faxes

Condensed Print and Horizontal Streaks;
Top and Bottom of Sentences Cut Off
If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with static
or interference on the phone line. If the copy looks bad, clean the
scanner area. If there is still a problem, call Brother Customer Service
at 1-800-284-4329 (USA) or 1-800-853-6660 (from within Canada).

Vertical Black Lines When Receiving

The sender's scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see
if the problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another
fax machine. If the problem continues, call Brother Customer Service at
1-800-284-4329 (USA) or 1-800-853-6660 (from within Canada).

Phone Line or Connections

FAX/MFC Does Not Answer When Called

Make sure the FAX/MFC is in the correct receiving mode for your setup
(either FAX, FAX/TEL or MSG CTR). Check for dial tone. If possible,
call your FAX/MFC to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check
the telephone line cord connection. Connect a standard telephone handset
to the FAX/MFC telephone jack. If there is no ringing when you call your
FAX/MFC, call your Telephone Company to check the line.
