You cannot receive faxes if the power is turned off. Press the ON/OFF button
to turn the power on.
If you disconnected the power cord without turning off the power (a mode
button is lit), reconnect it, then the power is turned on automatically.
If you disconnect the power cord after pressing the ON/OFF button to turn off
the power (all mode buttons are not lit), reconnect it, then press the ON/OFF
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 recovered.
Either print or delete documents in memory (see "Document Stored in Memory"
on page 99) to free up memory. Then ask the sender to resend the fax.
Check the LCD for an error message. See "An Error Message Is Displayed
on the LCD" on page 133.
Print the Activity report and check for an error. See "Printing the Activity
Report Manually" on page 103.
Check that the telephone line is connected correctly to the Telephone Line Jack
and that the telephone (or another external device such as an answering
machine or a computer modem) is connected correctly to the External Device
Jack. Refer to your setup sheet or see "Preparing the Machine for Fax" on
page 57.

Note
If the machine was receiving the faxes in the fax mode, printing will start
automatically after replacing the ink tank.
You can set to print received faxes forcibly even if an ink tank is run out.
Refer to "Auto print received" in "Device Settings" of the User's Guide on-
screen manual.
However, a part of contents or all contents of the fax may not be printed since
the ink has run out.
And also the contents of faxes will not be stored in memory.
In addition, if ink has already run out, it is recommended that OFF be
selected for Auto print received in RX settings to store the received fax in
memory once and print the fax manually after replacing the ink tank.
