SOURCE: Can not send fax
Call your telephone provider. There may be noise on the line. Ask you telephone provider to perform a line check on your line. If there is a problem they can fix it on their end. Worst case senario, they come to location as you have poor lines or old lines into your home.
If you have Vonage or Comcast Digital phone service, you will want to slow down your modem speed on the fax machine. Your manual should show you how to do it.

Just because you can hear fine when you call the same number and talk to the person there, does not mean a fax machine won't sense noise on the line. A fax machine is much more sensitive, and cannot have a lot of noise or it will not be able to render the image at the other end correctly. So have your phone company and the recipient's phone company check the lines for problems.
There is also the chance that the two fax machines cannot get along. We have clients that we cannot use our fax machine for, because it always generates a similar error to yours. If we go to the other side of our building and use a separate fax machine on a different line, it goes through just fine.
The other half of the error is out of memory. If you have not tried these ideas, try them also: To gain extra memory, you can turn off Fax Storage, print fax messages in memory or cancel a Delayed Fax or Polling Job. In general, shutting the unit off will purge most everything out of memory.

SOURCE: MFC-440CN PRINTER fax error
Plug a phone into the line and listen for static. Too many phones on the line, bad lines,etc, can cause a poor line condition. Try the unit directly into the phone line, no answer machine or anything else on the line. Maybe the memory thing is it has a lot of faxes that it hasn't been able to send.
SOURCE: Our MFC 7840 printer when faxing keeps saying
Depending on your location the line coulod well be poor quality for a sensitive fax. Any spurious sounds on a fax line will cause it to fault.
May I suggest you try the fax on the mainline first before assuming the unit is at fault.
Length of line from point a to b can also reduce the efficiency of signal. It may sound ok to the ear, but resistance may be the factor in reducing the level of the tone that the fax requires to hear and then activate send or receive.It reports poor line condition and even poor memory because it keeps loading to send.
If it does it on the mainline as well then I would be considering a technical call for help. There may be a fault in the unit.
please rwte my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA
