If this is a newer style machine...most units scan the pages into memory before they send it. What are you trying to send???? is it a complex color brochure..????
Try sending a simple page of type and see if the machine does the same thing. This may be a limitation of the memory capacity of your machine.

If you sending the fax over the memory, fax can scann doc. while dialing, or in the same time, but if you sending directly (on-hook dial) fax is sending the document while beeing reeded.

You may try to check the phone lines, browse the documents before sending,clean the original document feed rollers,...
if fax sudenly stops and wrinkle the orig. documents there is problem in scanner area

This is right from the manual:
You can use the Multiple Send feature, which allows you to send a fax to
multiple locations. Originals are automatically stored in memory and sent
to a remote station. After transmission, the originals are automatically
erased from memory.
1 Press Fax.
2 Load originals face up into the ADF, or place a single original face
down on the scanner glass.
For details about loading an original, see page 5.1.
3 Adjust the document resolution and darkness to suit your fax needs.
See page 9.1.
4 Press Menu until Fax Feature appears on the bottom line of the
display and press OK.
5 Press the Scroll buttons until Multi Send appears and press OK.
6 Enter the number of the first receiving fax machine and press OK.
You can use speed buttons, speed dial numbers, or group dial
numbers. For details, see page 10.2.
7 Enter the second fax number and press OK.
The display asks you to enter another fax number to send the
document.
8 To enter more fax numbers, press OK when Yes appears and
repeat steps 6 and 7. You can add up to 209 destinations.
Note
You cannot use group dial numbers for another fax number.
9 When you have finished entering fax numbers, select No at the
Another No.? prompt and press OK or Start.
The original is scanned into memory before transmission. The
display shows memory capacity and the number of pages being
stored in memory.
10 If an original is placed on the scanner glass, select Yes to add
another pages. Load another original and press OK.
When you have finished, select No at the Another Page? prompt.
The machine begins sending the fax to the numbers you entered in
the order in which you entered them.

Manual - see page 54

if you print a tx journal does it have an error on those you tried to send

There are 2 methods of sending 1. Through memory, in which the machine scans the document then sends when all pages have been scanned. 2. In real time, in which the document is placed in the ready mode and the line monitor or handset is used to dial the number. In this case the document is not scanned until a response is heard from the other machine.
However, in the case of the memory being full, either of documents in the queue or if there are documents waiting to be printed (because of no toner or no paper) then the machine will not allow sending from memory.

Here's the manual. Look at page 6-8. That tells how to turn on real-time transmission. You just need to do the same thing, except switch it to off when you get to that step. http://www.brother.ca/en/products/pdf/manuals/MFC8220-UG.pdf
