Try sending the fax again or try connecting the

problem continues, call the telephone company
and ask them to check your phone line.
Check the other fax machine's polling setup.
Make sure that you can hear the fan in the
machine spinning and that the exhaust outlet
isn't blocked by something.
If the fan is spinning, remove any obstacles that
surround the exhaust outlet, and then leave the
machine turned on but do not use it for several
minutes.
If the fan is not spinning follow the suggestions
below.
Turn off the machine's power switch and then
turn it on again. If the error message continues
leave the machine for several minutes and then
try it again. (The machine can be turned off for
up to 4 days without losing faxes stored in the
memory.)
Close the front cover of the machine.
Open the back cover, and then open the fuser
cover. Remove the jammed paper if there is any,
and then close the fuser cover and the back
cover.
Try to send or receive again.
