How to Stop Brother Printer from Automatically Posting Fax Logs/Reports?
Hi! Just bought a Brother MFC-L8900CDW all-in-one printer. It works great! However, at some point during the day, it just turns on and prints out several pages of what appears to be a fax log. This is not something I set up. This is certainly something I did not want. It's wasting paper and ink. I even unplugged my phone cord from the back in case it was initiating a fax. Anyone else have this issue? How do I stop my copier from printing this report every day?
