Check and remedy
Make sure the handset cord is connected to the
correct jack. See Handset in Connections in
Chapter 1.
Make sure the power cord is properly plugged
into a power outlet.
Make sure that the telephone line is properly
connected to both the TEL. LINE jack and the
wall jack.
Make sure that the fax is set to the correct
dialing mode for your telephone line. See Option
Setting 8 in Chapter 8.
Make sure that the receiving machine has fax
paper.
Make sure that the telephone line cord is
plugged into the TEL. LINE jack, and not the
TEL. SET jack.
If the receiving machine is in manual mode with
no attendant, reception will not be possible.
If the receiving machine is not a Sharp model,
make sure it is G3 compatible.
Check the display for error messages.
Pick up the handset and check for a dial tone.
Make sure that the document for transmission is
placed face down in the feeder.
Noise on the telephone line may cause
distortion. Try sending the document again.
Make a copy of the document on your fax. If the
copy is also distorted, your fax may need
service.
