Will not ring so we can hear it...will not pick up on its own. You can manually hit start button if you know a fax is coming through and it will connect but it will not connect on its own.
Make sure the receive mode is Fax or Fax/Telephone and it will work

Same thing happened to ours here at work except it was the #3 that got stuck. It was idle for 3 weeks because no one took the time to see what was going on. Five seconds on Google and 20 seconds on fixya.com and we have a working fax machine again.

Oops, I disconnected from the chat with you after I said I would stay connected. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them here. Just for our knowledge base, in case anyone else has this problem - it turned out to be a short in the phone line. When picking up the handset connected to the fax machine, there was no dial tone. When connecting the fax machine to another phone line, the dial tone returned. After swapping out the phone cord between the wall and the fax machine to be sure that wasn't the problem, Jriedel is now talking to the phone company about it.
SOURCE: HOW do i get my brother intellifax 2820 to time stamp the faxe
From everything that I've seen I don't see any way to tim stamp incoming faxes. Almost all fax machines should automatically time stamp outgoing faxes unless the user has removed that function for some reason. If you are getting faxes from people that don't include time stamps than the next best thing is to use the journaling feature. The 2820 can print a journal of past incoming faxes that will include timestamps of the past faxes recieved in either 6,12,24 hour or 2, 7 day intervals. The default is every 50 faxes. To change the settings:
Press Menu/Set, 2,4,2
2. Journal Period
Use Arrows to choose an interval
Press Menu/Set
Press Stop/Exit
SOURCE: our brother intellifax 4750e fax machine will not
It is probably set to manual receive, meaning you have to pick up the receiver, then hit start to receive the fax. I'm sorry I don't know specifically where to find this setting on your model but if you can find it in your menus, you should be able to switch to auto receive to eliminate this.
SOURCE: How do I set the machine to receive automatic instead of manually
go to initial set up , receive mode, change it to fax only
Is tel line going into correct socket of fax? (Line not Ext.)
Is Fax set to auto answer or manual?
If you pick up line or press speaker button can you hear other fax sending if so press start and hang up you should receive fax, and you have just proven that machine is in manual receive mode!
I think you will find it will wake from sleep automaticly if setup correctly.
