Memory full I can send any documents out because the fax memory is full. Can U tell me how do I emty it?

If you see an error message telling you that the product's fax memory is full, try these solutions:

• If you set the product to save received faxes in the product's memory or inbox, delete any faxes you have already read.
• If you set the product to save received faxes on a computer, turn on the selected computer. Once the faxes are saved on the computer, they are deleted from the product's memory.
• If you set the product to save received faxes on a memory device, connect the selected memory device containing the save fax folder to the product. Once the faxes are saved on the memory device, they are deleted from the product's memory. Note:Make sure the memory device has enough available memory and is not write protected.
  
• If the memory is full, try sending a monochrome fax using theDirect Sendfeature or sending your faxes in smaller batches.
• If the product cannot print a received fax due to a product error, such as a paper jam, the memory full error may appear. Clear any product errors, then ask the sender to resend the fax.

most fax machines will show receiving memory left or transmit memory left, if it showing receiving memory full make sure there are no paper jams and there is lots of paper in paper cassettes and it will start to print all the faxes in memory... if its transmit memory, you will need to clear those documents in memory to be sent, probably waiting in que....

Have you tried turning it off and unplugging it. Most document memory is volatile, and need to have wall power to hold it.

Unplug the machine for a couple of minutes and try it again.
Hope this is of some help.

Memory full errors can be caused by a couple of things. When you send a fax the machine settings and the amount of installed memory can cause this. Check the resolution you have the fax machine set at, usually it is set on something like "text" or "draft", if it is set on somthing like "fine" or "super fine" you will fill up the memory faster. Also if you are loading the document into memory before it actually connects with the other machine this could happen. Try looking for a switch or setting on your machine that says "direct". If you have a direct send enabled, your machine will not load the image into memory, it will wait for the other machine to answer and start receiving before actually doing any transmitting of the document. These are just general ideas as you did not describe the make or model of your machine. Hope this helps.

From manual: Insert document; press Scan & Fax button; dial number; press Start/Copy.  All pages will be scanned, number will be dialed, and scan will be transmitted.  If Memory Full displays, repeat procedure without using Scan & Fax button.

There are 2 methods of sending 1. Through memory, in which the machine scans the document then sends when all pages have been scanned. 2. In real time, in which the document is placed in the ready mode and the line monitor or handset is used to dial the number. In this case the document is not scanned until a response is heard from the other machine.
However, in the case of the memory being full, either of documents in the queue or if there are documents waiting to be printed (because of no toner or no paper) then the machine will not allow sending from memory.

Check your ink cartridges and fill any that may be low. I got that error because one of the cartridges (magenta) needed to be refilled. The printer was storing failure reports in its memory until they could be printed out, leaving no room to fax new documents. As soon as the ink cartridge was replaced, the reports printed and freed up the memory to send out faxes.

Here's the manual. Look at page 6-8. That tells how to turn on real-time transmission. You just need to do the same thing, except switch it to off when you get to that step. http://www.brother.ca/en/products/pdf/manuals/MFC8220-UG.pdf
