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 C memory, you can turn off fax storage (see Turning off Remote Fax Options on page 75), print fax messages in memory (see Printing a fax from the memory on page 52) or cancel a delayed fax or polling job (see Checking and canceling waiting jobs on page 45). 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 on page 140.) Sent faxes are blank. Make sure you are loading the document properly. (See Loading documents on page 23.) Vertical black lines when sending.

If Easy Receive is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Easy Receive to Off. (See Easy Receive on page 50.) Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an external or extension telephone, press your Fax Receive Code (default setting is l51). When your machine answers, hang up. Custom features on a single line. 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 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. Menu access difficulties Difficulties Suggestions The machine beeps when you try to access the Setup Receive and Setup Send menus. If Fax is not illuminated, press it to turn on Fax mode. The Setup Receive setting (Menu, 2, 1) and Setup Send setting (Menu, 2, 2) are available only when the machine is in Fax mode. 127
