If you are having difficulty with your machine

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

The Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips.

DIFFICULTY

SUGGESTIONS

Printing or Receiving Faxes

Condensed print and horizontal 
streaks or the top and bottom of 
sentences are cut off.

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

 on page C-16.

Horizontal streaks; lines are 
missing.

You may get a fax with horizontal streaks or with missing lines. Usually this is 
caused by a poor telephone connection. Ask the other party to send the fax again.

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, turn on the Auto Reduction menu setting. (See 

Printing a reduced 

incoming fax (Auto Reduction)

 on page 6-4.)

Received color fax prints only in 
black & white.

Replace the color toner cartridges that are empty or nearly empty, and then ask 
the other person to send the color fax again. (See 

Replacing a toner cartridge

 on 

page C-29.) When Fax Forwarding, Paging or Fax Storage is turned on a color fax 
can only be received if the sending machine could convert it to black & white. 
(See 

Turning off Remote Fax Options

 on page 8-4.)

Phone Line or Connections

Dialing does not work.

Check for a dial tone. Change 

Tone/Pulse

 setting. (See 

Tone or Pulse

 on 

page 7-6.) Check all line cord connections. Check power cord connection. Send a 
manual fax by pressing 

Hook

 or by lifting the handset of the external phone and 

dialing the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing 

Black Start

 

or 

Color Start

.

The machine does not answer 
when called.

Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup. 
(See 

Receive Mode

 on page 6-1.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your 

machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord 
connection. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone 
company to check the line.
