B Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance B Troubleshooting B IMPORTANT For technical help, you must call the country where you bought the machine. Calls must be made from within that country. If you think there is a problem with your machine, check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips. Most problems can be easily resolved by yourself. If you need additional help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com.
Printing (Continued) Difficulty Suggestions Smudged stain at the top center of the printed page. Make sure the paper is not too thick or curled. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 9.) Printing appears dirty or ink seems to run. Make sure you are using the proper types of paper. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 9.) Don't handle the paper until the ink is dry. Stains appear on the reverse side or at the bottom of the page. Make sure the printer platen is not dirty with ink.
Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Receiving Faxes Difficulty Suggestions Cannot receive a fax Check all line cord connections. Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup. (See Receive modes on page 35.) If you often have interference on the phone line, try changing the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic. (See Phone line interference on page 102.) Sending Faxes Difficulty Suggestions Cannot send a fax Check all line cord connections.
Handling Incoming Calls Difficulty Suggestions The machine ‘Hears’ a voice as a CNG Tone. If Easy Receive is set to on, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may 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 39.) Sending a fax call to the machine.
Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance Error messages B As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur. If this happens, your machine identifies the error and shows an error message. The most common error messages are shown below. You can correct most errors by yourself. If you need more help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com.
