I have small black dots down the left hand margin of each printed page approx 10cm apart. MFC8870DW

10cm means it's caused by a large roller. The only roller large enough for that would be in the drum. Replace your drum and it should clear up, the model number of the drum is DR520.

How to start up your wireless network

To be able to set up wireless printer configuration, there are three basic items that you need to have. They are a high-speed broadband Internet connection (with modem), a high speed wireless router and wireless network adaptors. These three items will be used in setting up the wireless printer. Assuming that there is already an existing network in the home or office space, then all that is needed to do to make the printer available in the network through the operating system's networking wizard. If not, then the network must first be established, only then the printer will be made available through that network.

My brother MFC7840w will not send faxes.

There are two jacks side-by-side. Be sure the phone line is plugged into the one marked LINE, not the EXT. jack, which is for extension phones or answering machines. OK, it's not that. Don't be mad - we had to check.
Most of the telephone circuitry is on the Main Board, but first the line is fed though a Network Control Unit, part number LG5857001. That NCU board is fairly cheap, but you don't know whether it's the problem until you replace it. NCU Board problems are often visible with a good magnifier: broken solder joints & stuff. Problems on the Main Board (part no. LT0226001) are more common and more expensive - maybe more expensive than replacing the machine.
Brother has a one-year warranty on these. If it's just past that, you might still be able to talk them into sending a Work Order to your nearest Brother servicer to do it free.

What does it mean when it says Drum near end

It means the drum has nearly reached the end of it's useful life, just a warning before it says it is all used up. If quality is still good you can open the front door and press the menu or options key and tell it it's a new drum and keep printing until the print quality fades.

Replace fuser message

Sounds like you will need to purchase a new fuser for your Laser printer, have you tried to take the fuser out and place it back into the machine to see if it would reset or still function with the laser?

If it doesn't work, then you will have to replace the fuser, can you send me the brand and model and or part number from the old fuser and I can look it up for you.
