Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Sending Faxes Difficulty Cannot send a fax. Suggestions Check all line cord connections. Transmission Verification Report says 'Result:NG'. Poor fax send quality. Vertical black lines when sending. Make sure that the Fax key is illuminated. (See Entering Fax mode on page 38.) Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper. Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error. (See Reports on page 88.) 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, your machine may be out of memory. To gain extra memory, you can turn off Advanced Fax Operation (see Turning off Advanced Fax Operations on page 81), print fax messages in memory (see Printing a fax from the memory on page 51) or cancel a Delayed Fax or Polling Job (see Canceling a fax in progress on page 39). If the problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your phone line. If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the phone line, try changing the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic. (See Phone line interference on page 143.) Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check your machine's scanner operation. If the copy quality is not good, clean the scanner. (See Cleaning the scanner on page 146.) If the copy you made shows the same problem, clean the scanner. (See Cleaning the scanner on page 146.) Handling Incoming Calls Difficulty The machine 'Hears' a voice as a CNG Tone. Sending a fax call to the machine. Custom features on a single line. Suggestions 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.) If you answered on an external or extension phone, press your Fax Receive Code (the factory setting is l 5 1). When your machine answers, hang up. If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Voice Mail, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single phone 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 phone line with no custom features is recommended. 133
