Troubleshooting and routine

maintenance B

Printing or receiving faxes

Difficulties Suggestions

Condensed print

Horizontal streaks

Top and bottom sentences are

cut off

Missing lines

Usually this is caused by a poor telephone connection. If your copy looks good,

you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone

line. Ask the other party to send the fax again.

Poor print quality See Improving the print quality onpage 96.

Vertical black lines when receiving The corona wire for printing may be dirty. Clean the corona wire. (See Cleaning

the corona wire onpage 118.)

The sender’s scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the

problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine.

If the problem continues, call your Brother dealer for service.

Received faxes appear as split or

blank pages.

If the received faxes are divided and printed on two pages or if you get an extra

blank page, your paper size setting may not be correct for the paper you are using.

(See Paper size onpage 21.)

Turn on auto reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax on page 42.)

Telephone line or connections

Difficulties Suggestions

Dialling does not work. Check for a dial tone.

Change Tone/Pulse setting. (See the Quick Setup Guide.)

Check all line cord connections.

Check that the machine is plugged in and switched on.

If an external phone is connected to the machine, send a manual fax by lifting the

handset of the external telephone and dialling the number. Wait to hear fax

receiving tones before pressing Start.
