Reception and copying problems

Problem
The fax machine doesn't
receive documents
automatically.
The power is on, but no
reception takes place.
The printing paper comes
out blank when you try to
receive a document.
General print quality is poor.
The received document is
faint.
Received images are
distorted.
Check and remedy
Make sure that the reception mode is set to
FAX. If you subscribe to a distinctive ring
service, make sure that the Distinctive Ring
function is set to the correct ring pattern. If you
do not subscribe to a distinctive ring service,
make sure that Distinctive Ring is set to OFF
SETTING. (See Distinctive Ring in Chapter 7.)
Make sure that the wall jack is connected to the
TEL. LINE jack, and not the TEL. SET jack.
Make sure that the document is loaded properly
in the feeder of the transmitting machine. Print a
report or make a copy to confirm the printing
ability of your machine.
It is important to select a paper that is
appropriate for the thermal transfer printer in
your fax. We recommend using laser quality
paper that has a very smooth finish. Copier
paper will work, but it sometimes tends to yield a
lighter print quality.
Ask the other party to send higher contrast
documents. If the contrast is still too low, your
fax may have a problem. Print a report or make
a copy to check your fax's printing ability.
Noise on the telephone line may cause
distortion. Have the other party try sending the
document again.
The print head may be dirty. See Fax print head
in Chapter 10.
Make a copy of another document on your fax. If
the copy is also distorted, your fax may need
service.
