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. (See Cleaning the scanner on page 54.)

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.

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 Black Start or Color Start, and press 2 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, 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 another 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, we recommend using a separate

 

telephone line with no custom features.
