If you are having difficulty with your machine 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/. If you think there is a problem with the way your faxes look, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem may not be your machine.
Troubleshooting Receiving Faxes Difficulties Suggestions Cannot receive a fax. Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing the Hook/Hold key. If you hear static or interference on your fax line, please contact your local telephone company. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or VoIP services, please contact your service provider for connection instructions.
Receiving Faxes (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Cannot receive a fax. If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD mode) on the same line as the Brother machine, make sure your answering machine is set up correctly. (See Connecting an external TAD on page 32.) (continued) 1 Connect the external TAD as shown in the illustration on page 33. 2 Set your answering machine to answer in one or two rings. 3 Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.
Troubleshooting Sending faxes (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Cannot send a fax. (For MFC-7860DN) Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock Settings. Handling incoming calls Difficulties Suggestions The machine ‘hears’ a voice as a CNG tone. If Fax Detect 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.
Printing difficulties Difficulties No printout. Suggestions Check that the machine is plugged in and the power switch is turned on. Check that the toner cartridge and drum unit are installed correctly. (See Replacing the drum unit on page 62.) Check the interface cable connection on both the machine and your computer. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) Check that the correct printer driver has been installed and chosen. Check to see if the LCD is showing an error message.
Troubleshooting Printing difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions The machine is not printing or has stopped printing. Press Job Cancel. As the machine cancels the job and clears it from the memory it may produce an incomplete printout. Scanning difficulties Difficulties Suggestions TWAIN errors appear while scanning. Make sure that the Brother TWAIN driver is chosen as the primary source. In Presto! PageManager, click File, Select Source and choose the Brother TWAIN driver.
Paper handling difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions What paper can I use? You can use thin paper, plain paper, bond paper, recycled paper, envelopes and labels that are made for laser machines. (For details, see Acceptable paper and other print media on page 17.) You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. There is a paper jam. Clear the jammed paper. (See Paper Jams on page 86.) Print quality difficulties Difficulties Printed pages are curled.
Troubleshooting Network difficulties (MFC-7860DN only) (continued) Difficulties Suggestions The network scanning feature does not work. (Windows®) It is necessary to set the third-party Security/Firewall Software to allow Network scanning. To add port 54925 for Network scanning, enter the information below: In Name: Enter any description, for example Brother NetScan. In Port number: Enter 54925. In Protocol: UDP is selected.
Other Difficulties Suggestions The machine will not turn on. Adverse conditions on the power connection (such as lightning or a power surge) may have triggered the machine’s internal safety mechanisms. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for ten minutes, then plug in the power cord and turn the machine on. If the problem is not solved, turn off the machine. Plug the power cord into a different known working outlet and turn on the machine.
Troubleshooting Setting Dial Tone detection When you send a fax automatically, by default your machine will wait for a fixed amount of time before it starts to dial the number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to Detection you can make your machine dial as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting can save a small amount of time when sending a fax to many different numbers. If you change the setting and start having problems with dialling you should change back to the default No Detection setting.
Improving the print quality If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 4, 2, 3). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendations.
