Error Messages
You may occasionally encounter a difficulty with your machine or telephone line. If this happens,
your machine often identifies the problem and displays an error message. The list below explains
the most common error messages.
You can correct most problems by yourself.
If you need additional help, call the Brother fax-back system.
