I am running to the forum again for help I do not know if anyone has had any luck with getting multifunction printers that have fax working to be able to fax.
I called brother they said making the change from normal operation to basic in miscellaneous will bring the baud rate down. they could not tell me what it would bring the baud rate down to but oh well. also they said they did not have an error checking option to be turned off for the multifunction.
lol
im open to suggestions i can dial out and it sounds like the fax is working but it doesnt the line will just stay open forever
