Clean the print heads. (See Print Quality Check, page 127.)
If you clean the print heads five times and the print has not
improved, call Brother or your dealer for service.
Check for a dial tone. Change TONE/PULSE setting. (See Setting
the Dialling Mode (Tone/Pulse), page 21.) Check all line cord
connections. Check power cord connection. Send a manual fax by
lifting the external telephone's handset, and dialling the number.
Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Mono Fax Start.
Make sure the machine is not in MANUAL mode. Check for dial
tone. If possible, call the machine to hear it answer. If there is still
no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. If there is no
ringing when you call the machine, call your Telephone Company
to check the line.
Lifting the external phone's handset—OR—Press any dial pad key
then Mono Fax Start. If you hear no dial tone, check telephone
line cord connections at the machine and wall socket. Check that the
external telephone is connected to the machine correctly. Test the
wall socket with another single line telephone. If no dial tone on the
wall outlet, call your Telephone Company.
Try changing your resolution to FINE or S.FINE. Make a copy to
verify the machine's scanner operation.
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, the machine may be out of
memory. To gain extra memory, you can turn off Fax Storage (See
Setting Fax Storage, page 46), print fax message in memory (See
Printing a Fax from Memory, page 31) or cancel a delayed fax or
polling job (See Checking and Cancelling a Scheduled Job in
Memory, page 38). If the problem continues, call the telephone
company to check your phone line.
If the copy you made shows the same problem, your scanner is dirty.
(See Cleaning the Scanner, page 132.)
