I just received a used fax machine from a school district that recently purchased a new one. Everything is fine except the indicator light is not lit. It runs perfectly, I just can’t read anything on the screen. Also, is there any way I can get a manual other than printing it. There are 156 pages and I will run out of toner or paper, or both.

How to Identify and Fix Common Problems ?

Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced technical support :

“Machine Error 77” is an indication of a mechanical malfunction or that the ROM in the machine is detecting a false error. This error may be caused by a surge or power outage.
This error typically occurs in two situations: First, when a number appears in the wrong place within a data field and second when the length is too short after NSLDS converts the length into years.
Check the fax connection

Check for phone line connection issues that might cause fax receiving to fail. Confirm the fax cords are in the correct ports: The phone line should be connected to the 1-LINE port and the answering machine, if used, should be connected to the 2-EXT port on the back of the printer.

When you get this error, simply retry sending your fax when you know the other end will answer or have their fax machine on auto answer. The Failed (Communication error) could occur for different reasons: The call was disconnected before the fax could be sent. Normally, this error occurs when the far side hangs up.
VSS error 7 [0x7] – exit code 511

This error is a runtime error that`s caused because there`s insufficient memory to install VSS. Increase the disk space for successful completion of this operation.

In simple terms, an F277 fault indicates that there`s something wrong with your drive controller. It`s not an issue with the settings or configuration; it`s a problem with the hardware itself.
Exit code 77 means permission denied.
Hello Emma, Error “77” means there`s No connection between the UIU and the meter. Get a Socket closer to the meter and loadup your unit. Have a nice day Sir. Hi kedco, I`m trying to get my meter number and the 65 code is not working.
To test a fax machine simply fax to somebody else with a fax machine – and have them send a reply fax back to you. When sending the fax, turn on the confirmation page feature – a successful confirmation page shows that the fax machine on the other end has successfully received the message.
If you use traditional analog technology to send a fax, you can test the fax line by making a phone call. Dial the recipient`s number and listen to a fax machine`s sound. The fax line is active and working if you hear a tone or beeping sound.
If you have registered your Brother machine`s warranty, fax a piece of paper with the word TEST printed on it to 1-877-268-9575. Brother`s automated Fax Test Sheet and Product Registration system will automatically fax you a confirmation sheet upon receiving your test fax.
Open the document tray, and then the Control Panel. Wipe dirt off the machine using a slightly damp clean cloth. Clean the white bar and the glass cover. Moisten a small piece of clean soft, lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol and carefully remove dirt from the glass cover and the white bar of the scanner.
Here are some troubleshooting tips for the most common fax problems: image quality, paper jams and connectivity issues. The most common image quality problems with faxes are pages that come out too dark, too light or are unreadable due to streaks, splotches and spots.
A cURL error 7 occurs when the server making the API call (i.e. your host) is unable to reach the server to which the call is being made (i.e. Google).
If you experience the error code NW-4-7, it usually means there`s information stored on your device that needs to be refreshed, or that there`s a network connectivity issue. Follow the troubleshooting steps for your device below to resolve the issue.
In computing, an error code (or a return code) is a numeric or alphanumeric code that indicates the nature of an error and, when possible, why it occurred.
There may be a problem with the User Interface or Keypad, the Control, or the associated wiring. Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute. Power unit up by turning on the circuit breaker(s). Monitor the oven for one (1) minute to ensure the error code does not display again.
The F6 E2 alert indicates there is issue with the appliance control unit, user interface or associated wiring. Unplug the washer, wait five minutes, then plug back in.
If your screen displays the error code 0x00000, then it is an indication of processor failure. Each time the computer is booted, it checks whether all the components of the PC are functioning properly. This is called the POST test. If you hear irregular beep sounds, a failing CPU can be one of the reasons.
Use the Reset Meter Readings action to clear the readings for a meter. Use this action when you reset a meter. The Reset/Replace Meters action is for the continuous type of meter.
If the meter stops, turn on 1 appliance at a time and check the meter. If the meter starts to move very quickly, the appliance could be faulty. If the meter is still moving, it`s probably faulty.
Sometimes the speed of the meter is either fast or slow, resulting in the wrong recording of energy consumption. An error in the speed of the meter when tested on non-inductive load produces breaking error in the energy meter.
If so, are there any tell-tale signs? TAPPING a fax line is no different from tapping an ordinary phone line.

ANSWER : Not being able to actually hear the noise, I would guess it is possibly coming from worn gears driving the fuser assembly. Put your ear at the back of the machine and listen for the noise.

Error Code 51.1 says Printer Error No Kidding.lol
ANSWER : Sometimes turning off and on will allow you to print a few pages. The error is a beam detect error. The only real fix is to replace the laser scanner unit. Could be a loose connector on the scanner or DC controller from the scanner. That’s unlikely. You could try the only other free fix which is to open the scanner assy. and clean all the mirrors inside. The dust could obstruct the laser beam enough to cause the detect error.
