SUGGESTIONS
Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax (Auto
Reduction) on page 4-5.)
Check the machine is plugged in.
Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If
there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection and
make sure all telephone connections are secured. If there is no ringing
when you call your machine, ask your telephone company to check the
line.
Change Tone/Pulse setting. (See Setting Tone or Pulse dialling mode
on page 2-1.)
Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup.
(See Basic receiving operations on page 4-1.)
If you frequently encounter interference on the phone line, try changing
the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic. (See Compatibility on page
12-14.)
If you connect your machine to PBX or ISDN, set the menu setting of
Phone Line Type to your phone type. (See Setting the Phone Line Type
on page 2-3.)
Make sure that the Fax
mode on page 3-1.)
Ask the other party to check that receiving machine has paper.
Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error. (See
Printing reports on page 7-3.)
Make sure that Real Time Transmission is set to Off. (See Real Time
Transmission on page 3-9.)
There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the
fax again. If you send a PC FAX message and get 'Result:NG' on the
Transmission Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory.
(MFC-425CN only)
To gain extra memory, you can turn off Fax Storage (see Setting Fax
Storage on page 6-2), print fax messages in memory (see Printing a fax
from the memory (MFC-425CN only) on page 4-5) or cancel a Delayed
Fax or Polling Job (see Cancelling a waiting job on page 3-10). If the
problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your phone
line.
If you frequently get transmission error with possible interference on the
phone line, try to change the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic.
(See Compatibility on page 12-14.)
If you connect your machine to PBX or ISDN, set the menu setting of
Phone Line Type to your phone type. (See Setting the Phone Line Type
on page 2-3.)
Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check
your machine's scanner operation.
If the copy you made shows the same problem, your scanner is dirty.
