My MFC-4800 is connected to my PC. I am able to print, etc. But I cannot seem to get the fax working. I connected phone jack from MFC 4800 to the phone jack in the wall. I cannot get a dial tone. What am I doing wrong.

Your fax machine uses the same line as your phone. You will need to read your manual to decide after how many rings you want the fax machine to answer. Generally should be after your answering machine. Your fax number will be your telephone number.Hope It's resolve all Your Printer Problem,

Hello sir; would you try on another phone jack if still have same problem then replace phone wire.

Yes you will need to install the drivers and connect with a USB cable. The CD that came with the machine. Remember to connect the cable only when the installation says to.

The only thing that will require phone lines is for the fax. You need to connect the phone lline in the jack called line on the machine and other end should go straight to the wall jack.

normally the only thing that could block you from sending a fax would be the connection to the phone line. make sure the phone wire is plugged into the line jack (not ext) and going straight to the wal, no splitters or extensions. if it still cannot send after this try another wire or jack

They are received faxes and you can download the operators manual at brother.com to see how to get them printed.

Hello,

The printer has two telephone jacks. One to connect the printer to the phone line (it is marked LINE). The other is to connect a phone to the printer.
Switch the wires, or if only one telephone jack is connected, switch it to the other (unoccupied ) jack

Hope it helps.

USB Cord (Included with Printer) ---Connects to PC (computer).

Phone Line Goes From Wall To Printer (For Fax)

There Should be a seperate jack for both Line-In/Fax....and Phone......The Phone goes out to your phone handset

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.

Using a cell phone, call your fax machine to see if the fax answers. If it does answer, then hang up the cell phone and fax. Next, using the HOOK button on your fax, call your cell phone . The cell phone should ring and answer the phone call from the fax. If you do not get a connection between the fax and cell, try these: Check that the phone line to the fax is plugged into the LINE jack on the fax, NOT THE PHONE jack. The PHONE jack on the fax is to plug in a TELEPHONE ONLY. If the fax phone line is OK, go into your fax machines' RECEIVE and SEND settings and make sure they are set up properly (pulse or tone dialing, overseas mode, etc.) Print out the HELP LIST as follows: Press MENU button, then 5 on keyboard, then 1 on keyboard. Go through all the settings on the HELP LIST that apply to your problem. (Send and Receive modes, Ring Delay, Receive Options,etc.) Write down the original settings BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANY OF THEM.

Fax machines are designed to have their own dedicated phone lines.

Anything else is a ****-shoot.
