Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT

For technical help, you must call the country where you bought the fax machine. Calls must be made from within that country.

Error messages

As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur. If this happens, your fax machine identifies the problem and displays an error message. The most common error messages are shown below.

You can correct most problems by yourself. If you need more help, call the Brother fax back system (USA only).
