Suggestions
Usually this is caused by a poor telephone connection. If your copy looks good,
you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone
line. Ask the other party to send the fax again.
See Improving the print quality on page 131.
The corona wire for printing may be dirty. Clean the corona wire. (See Cleaning
the corona wire on page 157.)
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 1-877-BROTHER
(1-877-276-8437) (in USA) or 1-877-BROTHER (in Canada).
If the received faxes are divided and printed on two pages or if you get an extra
blank page, your paper size setting may not be correct for the paper you are using.
(See Paper Size on page 23.)
Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax on page 52.)
