SUGGESTIONS
Replace the colour ink cartridges that are empty or nearly empty, and
then ask the other person to send the colour fax again. (See Replacing
the ink cartridges on page 12-25.) Check that Fax Storage is set to OFF.
(See Setting Fax Storage on page 6-2.)
Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax (Auto
Reduction) on page 4-10.)
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
(Except for the Nordic Countries) on page 2-1.)
Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup.
(See Basic receiving operations (FAX-1835C, FAX-1840C, MFC-3240C
and MFC-3340CN only) on page 4-1 and Basic receiving operations
(FAX-1940CN only) on page 4-3.)
If you frequently encounter interference on the phone line, try changing
the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic. (See How to improve print
quality on page 12-15.)

menu setting of Phone Line Type to your phone type. (See Setting the

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 8-3.)
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.
If you frequently get transmission error with possible interference on the
phone line, try to change the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic.
(See How to improve print quality on page 12-15.)
If you connect your machine to PBX, PABX, ADSL 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.
