      First, ensure the Brother All in One Printer is plugged in and turned on. Check the interface cable or wireless connection on both the printer and your computer, referring to the Quick Setup Guide for assistance. Also, verify that the correct printer driver is installed and selected. Make sure the printer is online by going to Start, then Printers and Faxes, right-clicking on your Brother MFC-XXXX (where XXXX is your model name), and ensuring that 'Use Printer Offline' is unchecked. If the LCD shows an error message or 'Cannot Print and Replace Ink', or if one or more ink cartridges have reached the end of their life, see Replacing the ink cartridges on page 151.

    • M
      Michael SalazarSep 1, 2025
      If you cannot receive a fax on your Brother All in One Printer, first, make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing the Hook key. Check all line cord connections, ensuring the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. Ensure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode. Consider that another device or service may be answering the call before your Brother machine. If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD mode), make sure it is set up correctly. Also, ensure your Brother machine’s Easy Receive feature is turned On. If you often get transmission errors, try changing the Compatibility setting to Basic(for VoIP).
