Hi there!

For you to send a fax with the Brother Fax you can try these steps:

1. First make sure that you have a dial tone by lifting the handset or just by pressing the hook/speakerphone button. Once you have verified you have a dial tone press the hook button again to return to the main screen or hang up the handset. LCD should display the date & time

If you don't have a dial tone make sure that the telephone line cord is connected on the fax machine's Line jack. If you don't have a dial tone still, connect it to another working outlet. If you don't have a dial tone still, connect a working telephone on the wall jack to see if you'll get a dial tone. If you get a dial tone on the regular phone then problem is either with the line cord or the fax machine.

2. Once you have the date & time on the LCD screen, Load the document that you want to send on the automatic document feeder which is directly above the LCD screen.

3. The LCD screen should change from the date/time to "Enter Fax No. & Press Start" Once you got this screen dial the fax number and then press Start.

Hope this helps. Rate if it works.

Thanks!

Is the fax sensing the paper you put in to send out? Check the little black levers that poke into the document area. They should move freely when you touch them gently with a finger, and return quickly when you take your finger off. If it can't sense the paper it won't try to send a fax. If, when the paper is inserted, the display changes from whatever it said to anything else, the paper is being sensed.
Let's try dialing manually. Just left of the 1 key is a button labeled "Hook." Pressing that will take the telephone line "off-hook," like picking up the receiver of a phone. You should hear a dial tone -- if not, try adjusting the speaker volume with the buttons just right of the numbers. Once you get a dial tone, dial a number, whether it's another fax, or your own cell phone. As far as the phone company is concerned, your fax is just a phone, calling another phone. If you can make a call, and the phone at the other end rings, we're closing in on the problem. If you can dial another fax machine manually, you can still turn this into a fax call, assuming there's paper ready to fax. After the distant fax answers, touch the Start button, and your fax should take over. If you can't dial manually, try unplugging your fax from the phone line, and replacing it with a regular phone. Can you make calls with it? If not, the fax is no longer a suspect - you have a phone line problem.
Are you at a business where you need to dial 9 to get an outside line? It's easy to forget that detail when you're using a fax, but it has to dial out just like any other phone on the system.
If you can't get a dial tone at all with the fax, but it works with the phone alone, the main board in the fax is probably bad. If you can dial manually, using the Hook switch, but the same number doesn't work when you dial xxx-xxxx-Start, that sounds like a main board problem, too.

connect a phone with 4521 in the back side jack of phoneout,
for outgoing fax
place original in the adf or glass for fax
Press hookdial and dial your sending fax number in 4521 after number dialing pull the phone handset to ear when you leason fax tone from the dialing number press start button to send fax.

for incoming fax (in not automoated)
press hook dial and press start to receive

Do you pick up the hand set when you are dialing, If you do the display will read telephone. When you want to send a fax put the paper in the document feeder. Dial the # press the start key or put the documents in the document feeder press the hook button to here the dial tone, dial the number what for the tones pres the start key. hope this helps

This document covers the basic fax functions of the HP Officejet 6100 series. The HP Officejet 6100 series can perform the following functions:

• Send and receive paper faxes.
• Send and receive color faxes. Color faxes can be sent only to color fax capable machines. If a color fax is sent to a black-and-white only fax machine, the HP Officejet sends the fax in black and white.

See Figure 1 below to identify the buttons in the Fax area of the front panel. Figure 1: Identifying the fax area of the front panel 1- Turns Auto Answer on or off 2- Scrolls through speed-dial entries 3- Redials the most recently dialed number 4- Dials fax numbers, enters text, and specifies menu items. 5- Starts a fax 6- Changes the fax resolution 7- Dials one-touch speed-dial numbers Fax settings Most fax settings are configured during installation through the Fax Setup Wizard. These settings, and some additional options, can be accessed through the front panel menu (see Figure 2). Figure 2: Changing fax settings from the front panel menu

1. Menu: enters the menu system.

2. Right and left arrows: navigate the submenus and options.

3. Enter: selects a submenu or option.

4. Cancel: exits from the menu. Sending a fax To ensure the best quality when sending faxes in color, use a color original instead of a color copy. Follow these steps to send a fax:

1. Load the original. Load originals directly on the glass or in ADF. For multi-page faxes, you must use the automatic document feeder (ADF). Loading original on the glass Place the original, print-side down, on the front-right corner of the glass. Loading original on the glass Loading original in the ADF Place the original, print-side up, in the ADF. Adjust the paper-width guide to fit the original. Loading original in the ADF
2. Enter the fax number using the keypad. Dial the number just as you would from a telephone (dialing 1 before an area code, etc.)
3. Press Start Fax Black or Color.
4. If there is no original in the ADF, the display will read, "Send from Glass? Press 1 for Yes or 2 for No"
   • Press 1 to scan the document from the glass.
   • Press 2 to load the document in the ADF. The display will read, Load original, then press Enter .

TO NO MANUAL,

WHEN YOU DIAL A FAX NUMBER, AND IF YOU
HAVE DIALED IT CORRECT, YOU NEED TO
WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR A COUPLE OR A FEW
DIFFERENT "CONNECTION" SOUNDS, AND
THE LAST SOUND IS THE FAX IS CONNECTED
TO THE FAX NUMBER DIALED SOUND.

IF I AM CORRECT, THE FIRST SOUND IS
A LOW TWEET LIKE SOUND, THE SECOND
SOUND IS A HIGH PITCH TWEET SOUND,
AND THE THIRD OR FOURTH SOUND IS
THE FAX SOUND, WHICH IS A SORT OF
STATIC-LIKE WHISTLING SOUND.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE FAX SOUND, THAT
IS WHEN YOU PRESS THE SEND FAXCIMILE
BUTTON.

I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH A FAX
MACHINE ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO.

IF THE FOREMENTIONED INFORMATION
DOES NOT HELP, YOU MAY WANT TO
RECONFIGURE YOUR FAX SEND AND
RECEIVE SETTINGS. REFER TO YOUR
OWNER'S MANUAL FOR TECHNICAL
DATA.

GOOD LUCK.

did you put the originals page(s) in the machine FIRST to fax, then enter the number then press start?
If you enter the phone number 1st BEFORE putting your originals in the feeder, the machine thinks you want to make a copy.
The FAX Mode is the setting for incoming faxes.
Try that and let me know if it works.
There should also be a button called "Hook" or "speaker" or something that you hit and you will hear the dial tone.
Once you hear the dial tone, you can dial the number, (make sure the pages you want to fax is in the feeder.
Once you hear the fax high pitch noise, hit the start button.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if it does and also remember to leave a feedback and rating if I have helped you.
Thanks and good luck.
Mac =)
