FAQs & Troubleshooting

If your Brother machine consistently dials numbers other than the ones you have entered or you receive a busy signal or recording when trying to send faxes, you may have programmed a Dial Prefix on the machine. The Dial Prefix is a feature that automatically dials a user-defined number before every fax you send.



For example, if your telephone system requires you to dial 9 to access an outside line, then you can program the Dial Prefix feature to automatically dial 9 every time you send a fax.

1. Press the MENU key.
   
   
2. Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW key to choose Initial Setup.
   
   
3. Press the OK key.

   OR
