  Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or VoIP services, contact your service provider for connection instructions. Make sure you pressed Fax and the machine is in Fax mode. Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error. Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock Settings. Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.

  Amber TaylorAug 27, 2025
  The 'No Paper' message on your Brother printer indicates that the machine is out of paper, or the paper is not loaded correctly in the paper tray. Refill the paper in the paper tray, ensuring the paper guides are set to the correct size. Alternatively, remove the paper and load it again, making sure the paper guides are correctly adjusted, and avoid overfilling the paper tray.
