  If you're experiencing poor print quality on your Brother Fax Machine, consider the following: * Check the print quality. * Ensure the Printer Driver or Paper Type setting in the menu matches the type of paper you are using. * Make sure your ink cartridges are fresh, as expired or improperly stored cartridges can cause clogging. Cartridges stay usable for up to two years if kept in their original packaging, or if the ink cartridge was in your machine over six months. * Try using the recommended types of paper. * The recommended environment for your machine is between 20° C to 33° C (68° F to 91° F).

  To improve the print quality on your Brother All in One Printer, first, check the print quality settings. Ensure that the Printer Driver or Paper Type setting matches the paper you're using. Make sure your ink cartridges are fresh, considering that ink can clog if the expiration date has passed, the cartridge has been in the machine for over six months, or the cartridge wasn't stored properly. Using the recommended paper types can also help. The ideal environment for your printer is between 20° C to 33° C (68° F to 91° F).
