There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again.

 

says ‘RESULT:NG’.

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 Memory Receive (see Turning off Memory Receive Operations

 

 

on page 47), print fax messages in memory (see Printing a fax from the memory

 

 

on page 49) or cancel a Delayed Fax or Polling Job (see Checking and canceling

 

 

waiting jobs on page 38). 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 menu setting of Compatibility to Basic(for VoIP).

 

 

(See Telephone line interference on page 139.)

 

Sent faxes are blank.

Make sure you are loading the document properly. (See Loading documents

 

 

on page 21.)

 

 

 

 

Poor fax send quality.

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 154.)

 

 

 

 

Vertical black lines when sending.

Black vertical lines on faxes you send are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid

 

 

on the glass strip. Clean the glass strip.

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 44.)

 

 

 

 

Sending a fax call to the machine.

If you answered on an extension telephone, press your Fax Receive Code (the

 

 

factory setting is l 5 1). If you answered on the external telephone (connected to

 

 

the EXT jack), press Start to receive the fax. When your machine answers, hang

 

 

up.

 

 

 

 

Custom features on a single line.

If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Voice Mail, 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 telephone line with no

 

 

custom features is recommended.
