    I have the same problem as the other posters - I tried disconnecting the phone line, rebooted the MFC - it will not pick up the incoming calls - neither does it send faxes - Is my modem burnt?

    The fax line is ringing but the machine is not picking up to receive the fax.

    My 6800 will not print out the inbound faxes. It will pickup the fax but will not transmit it internal to print. I use to be able to unplug the machine and plug back in and it would fax. Sometimes all day sometimes only once. What do I need to do to solve this problem. Could it be the fax board gone bad??

    Our company faxe machine is having the exact same problem it will pick up the line and also say recieving but it will not print it just goes into sleep mode. I have no idea how to fix it. We have reset it tried different lines. Nothing seems to work. Cant figure out why maybe just need to buy other then brother.

How do I turn off ECM in my Brother MFC 8220?
From the Brother website:
If you are using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), (a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line, review the information listed below. If you are not using VoIP continue to Step 8.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is not a marketed feature of your Brother machine, however there is a compatibility setting available with this machine that may assist with sending and receiving faxes when using VoIP. Adjusting this setting lowers the baud rate (modem speed) and turns ECM (Error Correction Mode) Off. To adjust this setting follow the steps listed below:



  1. Press Menu or Menu/Set => Fax => Miscellaneous => Compatibility.
  2. Select Basic.
  3. Press OK or Menu/Set. (For touchscreen models, skip this step.)
  4. Press Stop/Exit.

Fax problem
I want to make sure I understand this completely. You get no dial tone from the fax machine when hooked up to VOIP. In the past, was there an audible dial tone from the fax, or did it just dial silently and give you an error if there was no tone? When you said you got a dial tone by connecting a phone to the ext phone port of "the machine" did you mean the fax machine? If you get a dial tone by running a phone through the fax machine, then the line is good. I have used a fax machine over Sunrocket before they went defunct, which used the same technology base as Vonage - so it should work. If you used to get an audible dial tone when using the fax, and no longer do, and you are geting a dial tone on a regular phone that is connected to the ext. port of the fax machine, then the problem has to be in the fax machine itself, not the VOIP. If you can verify that, we can go from there.

I have a brother mfc 6800 and do I need a telephone line on it?
You will need a phone line connected to the MFC 6800. If you have a separate line for your fax number, make sure you connect this line to your MFC 6800. If you have a different ring, but on the same line as your phone number, you'll need to set up your MFC to utilize the distinctive ring (see the manual for setting this up).

Brother MFC-240 will not receive faxes...
I cant get my MFC-290 to receive incoming faxes

Using MagicJack for faxing; however, Brother MFC 290C is stating poor line condition - why? Also say's low ink Magenta - would that create this problem?
I had the same problem trying to send out faxes out using my Brother MFC 7340. I use a magic jack phone line. Page 106 of the user manual says if sending via VOIP phone line, you should press menu, then 2, 0, 1 to select "Basic (for VOIP) mode. Then press ok. Then press stop/exit. This cuts the modem speed down to 9600 bps and turns ECM off. Then retry to send the fax. I did that and can now send and receive faxes.

Brother MFC-7420 doesn't receive faxes - send out is OK
If you have the book, go through the setup procedure as if you were installing it for the first time. If you don't have it, go to the Brother website and download it.

Program sending address on brother mfc-6800
The settings should be able to be changed one of two ways. Either under fax settings on the printers menu, or under fax settings under the printer properties panel on the computer.

Adding a phone to a fax / printer.
Now for the worst question- your telus is giving you a VoIP for your phone? In other words, you have a digital phone line service? If so, you'll hate this- fax machines don't work over digital lines. My department is moving into a new building and we have to have the regular dialup lines installed for our fax machines only. I never knew this myself until about 2 weeks ago. If I'm wrong about your VoIP, let me know.

Fax doesn't recognize incoming phone call
Try this: using a cell phone, call your fax. Listen on the cell for a busy signal, fax tones, dial tone, etc. If the fax does not answer the cell, check the following: make sure the phone line is plugged into the LINE jack on the fax, NOT THE PHONE JACK. The phone jack is to connect a TELEPHONE to the fax. If problem still exists, press MENU on your MFC, and scroll to GENERAL SETUP, FAX. Scroll to SETUP RECEIVE, and, after writing down the settings, try changing the RING DELAY or RING TIME settings. If problem is still there, press CLEAR/BACK button until GENERAL SETUP appears on screen. Scroll down to INITIAL SETUP, and select RECEIVE MODE. Try changing RECEIVE MODE settings. Write them down before you change anything.

The connecting depends on several issues. This cant be said within a few words.
You have to read the manual which explains the very diffrent setting (see chap. fax). You can download the manual here:
www.brother.com (choose your country from landscape, choose your country, choose download&support)
Have a look at the faq, too.

If that doesnt help, plz call brother hotline of your country!
