Troubleshooting Problems Sending Faxes (Fax Driver)

Check 1: Is the power turned on?
• You cannot send faxes if the power is turned off. Press the ON button to turn the power on.
• If you disconnected the power cord without turning off the power (one of the buttons on the operation
panel is lit), reconnecting it turns on the power automatically.
• If you disconnected the power cord after pressing the ON button to turn off the power (no buttons on
the operation panel are lit), reconnect it, then press the ON button to turn on the power.
• If the power was turned off due to power failure, etc., the power is automatically turned on when the
power failure is resolved.
Important
Confirm that all lamps on the operation panel are off before unplugging the power cord, then unplug
the power cord.
If a power failure occurs or you unplug the power cord, all faxes stored in the machine's memory are
deleted.
Note
If the faxes stored in the machine's memory are deleted by a power failure or unplugging the power
cord, the list of the faxes deleted from the machine's memory will be printed after turning the machine
on.
Check 2: Is a document being sent from memory or a fax being received
into memory?
When the message for the transmission/reception is displayed on the machine's LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display), a fax is being sent from/received into machine's memory.
Check 3: Is the telephone line type set correctly?
Check the telephone line type setting and change it as necessary.
Check 4: Is Dial tone detect set to ON?
Resend the fax after a while.
If you still cannot send the fax, select OFF for Dial tone detect in Advanced FAX settings under FAX
settings.
Check 5: Is the recipient's fax number correct?
Check the recipient's fax number, then send the document again.
