Can not receive or fax anything - Brother IntelliFAX 4100 Laser Fax

The document does not feed into the machine.
Be sure the document is not wrinkled, and you are putting it in correctly. Check that the document is the right size and not too thick or too thin. (See document types and sizes on page 43).
You cannot receive faxes automatically. Check if "TEL" appears on the right side of the display. In TEL mode, you
cannot receive a fax automatically. Be sure the handset is seated on the cradle properly.
The machine cannot receive faxes manually. Do not hang up the handset before pressing Start/Enter to receive a
fax.
The machine does not send anything. Check that the document is loaded face down. Send should show up
in the display after it dials. Check if the machine to which you are sending can receive your fax.

Only if you have set the fax options to automatically print a sent item/transmission report. Otherwiase you will receive nothing unless the person or company you sent a fax to decides to fax you back.

These units only ring under two circumstances. First the external phone must be attached. It has a volume slider on the phone. Second. The recieve mode must be st for Fax/Tel not anything else

Hi,

I don't think there's a log you can print but you can do the following. Not quite what you want, but better than nothing...

You need to set the fax confirmation option to log faxes before you send anything. The default option is off, so you won't be able to get a fax log for anything you've already sent unfortunately.

1. Press Setup
2. Press 2 then press 1. This displays the Print Report menu
3. Select Fax Confirmation
4. Press to highlight one of the following, then press OK

Off Does not print a fax confirmation report when you send and receive faxes successfully. This is the default setting.
On Fax Send Prints a fax confirmation report for every fax you send.
On Fax Receive Prints a fax confirmation report for every fax you receive.
Send & Receive Prints a fax confirmation report for every fax you send and receive.

Hi:

Just press the start key and it should receive the incoming fax.

Cheers

Andrew

Check the phone line with a regular phone.

Make sure your phone line goes to the LINE port.

just check fax receiving mode .put it at fax only mode.you will receive the fax .

Check to make sure that the PC Fax Function is turned off. I noticed after I connected the 8500 to my PC and installed the software, I too could no longer receive faxes and it was corrected after I turned this PC Fax function off.

The function is located by:

1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select Option 2.
3. Select Option 1.
4. Select Option 8 (PC Fax) and turn that function OFF.

Hope this helps!

Tell me the exact model number of the fax machine.
