you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone

The corona wires for printing may be dirty. Clean the corona wires on the four 
drum units. (See Cleaning the corona wires on page 160.)
The sender’s scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the 
problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine. 
If the problem continues, call Brother Customer Service at 1-877-BROTHER 
(1-877-276-8437) (in USA) or 1-877-BROTHER (in Canada).
Received faxes appear as split or 
blank pages.
If the received faxes are divided and printed on two pages or if you get an extra 
blank page, your paper size setting may not be correct for the paper you are using. 
(See Paper Size on page 25.)
