If you have Call Waiting, Caller ID, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Ring Master,
Voice Mail, alarm system or any other custom feature on a single phone
line with your MFC, it may create a problem sending or receiving fax data.
For example: If you are sending or receiving a fax message while a custom
feature signal comes through on the line, the signal can temporarily
interrupt or disrupt the fax data. Brother's ECM feature should help
overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone system
industry, and is common to all devices that send and receive information on
a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight interruption
is crucial to your business, a separate line with no custom features is
recommended.
Clean the print head (see Cleaning the Print Head, page 23-9). If you clean
the print heads five times and the print has not improved, call Brother
Customer Service at 1-800-284-4329 (USA), 1-800-853-6660 (from
within Canada) or 1-514-685-6464 (from within Montreal).
