HOW TO CLEAR FAX MEMORY BROTHER8460? - Brother MFC-8460N All-In-One Printer

Most likely the memory is full because your fax machine either can't print what is in the memory (check paper, ink, etc), or it can't send out faxes you've already scanned into it. (check phone line and ability to dial).
To clear the memory, unplug fax from phone and wall, wait 30 seconds, and plug back in.

Dear
As the model is not mentioned its difficult to right solution. But in general when a document sent from memory some times this happen. This is frequent if memory recieved is more and not printed.
Its cleared on printing all memory recieved or memory cleared(all received fax will deleted).
Also sending fax manually may be done.I.e.Dial the fax no.get the fax tone load the document press start or send. Also in setting the scanning resolution may be minimised up to150/200dpi for less memory.
Thanks.

If the memory is filled up when a fax is received ... when there's no paper, or it is jammed (so that it can't print) ... you can print the fax (in Memory, after putting in new paper, or fixing the jam) by pressing the START/MEMORY button. After it prints, the memory is cleared.

If the memory is filled up when you're scanning and storing a document into memory (to be fax out), press the START/MEMORY key to transmit the pages that's already in memory. After transmitting the content in memory, the memory will be cleared/emptied. You'll need to scan the remaining pages to transmit (as a separate fax)
