There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again.
If you are sending a PC-FAX message and get RESULT:NG on the Transmission
Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To free up extra
memory, you can turn off fax storage (see Advanced User's Guide), print fax
messages in memory (see Advanced User's Guide) or cancel a delayed fax
(see Advanced User's Guide). If the problem continues, ask the telephone
company to check your telephone line.
If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone
line, try changing the Compatibility setting to Basic(for VoIP) (see Telephone
line interference / VoIP on page 142).
Make sure you are loading the document correctly. When using the ADF, the
document should be face up. When using the scanner glass, the document should
be face down (see Loading documents on page 39).

on the glass strip (see Advanced User's Guide).

When your machine answers, hang up.
If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice Mail,
an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single
telephone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving
faxes.
For Example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and
its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax,
the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Brother's ECM (Error
Correction Mode) 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.
Suggestions
Make sure you pressed Copy and the machine is in Copy mode (see How to copy
on page 65).
