If You Are Having Difficulty with Your Fax Machine

If you think there is a problem with your fax machine, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your fax machine. Check the difficulties below and follow the troubleshooting tips.

Printing or Receiving Faxes

Condensed Print and Horizontal Streaks;

Top and Bottom of Sentences Cut Off

If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the phone line. If the copy looks bad, clean the scanner area. If there is still a problem, call Brother Customer Service at 1-800-284-4329 (USA) or 1-800-853-6660 (from within Canada) or 1-514-685-6464 (from within Montreal).
