    Why is my Brother IntelliFAX 1270e not answering when called?
    • J
      Jennifer TurnerAug 19, 2025
      If your Brother Fax Machine is not answering when called, ensure it is in the correct receiving mode (FAX ONLY or FAX/TEL). Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your fax machine to hear it answer. Also, check the telephone line cord connection. Connect a standard telephone handset to the fax machine’s telephone jack. If there is no ringing when you call your fax machine, call your telephone company to check the line.

Refill the paper or remove it and load it again. If this happens while receiving a fax, load paper to restart printing. If you were copying or printing reports, load paper and try again.
