How to recieve a fax without a computer hook up?

Have you tried installing new drivers and software from hp. Sometimes there is a glitch and resetting the software helps.

With a computer: The software or utility that views your faxes should also be able to print them. (This may not always be the case).

Without a computer: You could try making a copy of the fax.

Make sure the phone line is plugged in correctly...ie. into LINE not PHONE. Facsimile machines will recieve , normally, without "programming" for sending number or company name. You can also check to see if the line is active by pressing the on hook button for a dial tone.

Could the message be reading "TAD"? If you have an answering machine hooked up anywhere on the same line as the fax, you need to refer to page 16 of your manual. Set your answering machine to 2 rings and de-activate the toll saver mode. If you have a dedicated fax line without the TAD, set your fax recieving mode to fax only by pressing the MODE button under the LCD display untill fax only isindicated

Im not very familiar with that that model in particular. I would check to see if the is an auto recieve button on the control panel or in the fax settings. Just a thought not an absolute solution.

please help me how to switch my machine Brother MFC440cn to fax/tel mode.

First make sure that the fax button has been pushed and is llit...

The 2820 should have a handset. In order to use manual transmission (when you get to hear all the beeps and whistles) you will need to load the document then pick up the handset. then dial the number, when you hear the recieving fax tone then hit the start button.

The 2820 should also have a hook hold button pressing this will allow you to hear the dial tone and the numbers you dial along with the receiving fax tone. If you dont hear anything when you press this button then you may want to use the volume buttons to increase the volume.

Also remember that if you have not picked up the handset or pressed he hook/hold button the unit will use automatic mode, which is to say that all you will do is load the document, dial the number, and then press the start button.

I have a lexmark X4270, I'm having a problem with the fax machine, the display keeps displaying "clear paper Jam", however there is no paper jam. I'm also not being able to recieve or send any faxes. I'm low on ink, would this prevent sending faxes? Any suggestions?

Check receive mode, probably set to manual receive.
