Sending an international fax with a brother fax machine

I suggest to ,, on the internet look for sewing machine shops in your town in australia, & even look in the phone book in the yellow pages
do you have a hancock fabric in your area? they have sewing machines & sergers

Sending a fax to another county is easy - almost as easy as sending a fax to someone in your own country. The only difference is the phone number that you'll dial.
When sending a fax from one U.S. city to another, you dial a 1, then the area code, then the seven-digit phone number. When sending a fax from the U.S. to another country, you usually dial 011, then the country code, then a city code (which is like an area code), then the phone number. (The phone number isn't necessarily seven digits.) Check out the web site www.HowToCall.info, which will give you the specific country and city codes for the place that you're trying to send a fax to.
Other than figuring out the phone number, faxing internationally is identical to faxing domestically. Fax machines in other countries use the same protocols as ones in the United States, so you should have no difficulty communicating with a foreign fax machine. Older fax machines and noisy overseas phone lines may cause the transmission to take a bit longer than you're used to, but it should get there.
The first time you send a fax to another country, it might be a good idea to listen in as the fax machine dials. On some fax machines, you can press the "Dial" button to hear the dial tone, and dial the number manually. Listen for the ring and fax tone, then press the Start button to send the fax. You might want to do this the first time you send a fax overseas, just to make sure it's working as expected.

This is an error message you get because of poor line conditions, this is common when sending overseas.

Please follow the directions below for sending overseas.

then dial number and press start.

Hello.

Be certain that you use the code for international calling, that your FAX line can support international calls / faxes and that you have selected Overseas Mode.

Hope this helps.

If you are having difficulty sending a fax overseas due to possible
interference on the phone line, we recommend that you turn on the
Overseas Mode. After you send a fax using this feature, the feature
will turn itself off.
1 If it is not illuminated in green, press (Fax).
2 Load your document.
3 Press Menu/Set, 2, 2, 7.
4 Press ▲ or ▼ to select On (or Off).
Press Menu/Set.

Your manual gives this information also on page 3-13

Good Luck

you need an international phone service and dialing capability on your phone, the country code for Australia is 61 so you would dial:-

011-61- Y- xxxxxxxx where 011 is international code from USA, 61 is country code Y is area code and xxxxx is fax number.

Just dial the number as sending a local fax

A fax is nothing but a normal homestyle phone line. Either go online to find a list of country codes or call your local operator for assistance.

Just dial 0011 then the country code. The + is just a quick way of dialing 0011.
Also these can be used from Australia 0011 (Voice calls)
0015 (Fax calls - Telstra)
0018 (Telstra special rates)
0019 (Fax calls - Singtel Optus)
go to http://www.kropla.com/dialcode.htm full a full list of international codes

It could be either. take the machine to anothewr line see if the
error goes away.If it does not call brother customer service. There is an adjustment for input sensitivity of so brother fax machines. It may be in your operators manual

NG STANDS FOR NOT GONE , TYPICALLY THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS A COOMMUNICTION ERROR AND THERE IS ALINE DISTURBANCE /NOISE DURING THE CONNECTION WHILE SENDING THE FAX MESSAGE. TRY CHANGING THE TELEPHONE LINE IF IT IS AVAILABLE. HAPPY FAXING OMNIPRESENT
