• Make sure that the document is loaded properly in the
feeder of the transmitting machine. Make a copy or
print a report 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
machine may need service. Make a copy or print a
report to check your machine'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. Clean the print head as
explained on page 47.
• Make a copy or print a report on your machine. If the
copy or report is also distorted, your machine may
need service.
• Any dirt or material on the scanning glass will cause
spots to appear on copies and transmitted faxes.
Clean the scanning glass as explained on page 46.
• Make sure the operation panel is completely closed
(press down on both sides of the panel).
• The machine has received a fax to memory. Add
paper to the paper tray and press
fax (see page 30).
