I have difficulty sending fax from this new brother muntifunction printer. There is no dial tone on the machine to send out the fax.
I have connected the new cable from the printer to PC modem, so receiving faxes perfectly.

Have you set the location information in the control panel "Phone and Modem" for windows to be able to detect the dial tone?
