Cause & Solution
L The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit.
Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 19).
L The other party's fax machine is busy or has run out of recording
paper. Try again.
L The other party's machine is not a fax machine. Check with the
other party.
L The other party's fax machine failed to answer the fax
automatically. Send the fax manually (page 30).
L Use the overseas transmission mode (feature #411 on page 55).
L Add two pauses at the end of the telephone number or dial
manually.
L If your line has special telephone services such as call waiting, the
service may have been activated during fax transmission. Connect
the unit to a line that does not have these services.
L Another telephone on the same line is off the hook. Hang up the
extension telephone and try again.
L Try copying the document. If the copied image is clear, there may
be something wrong with the other party's machine.
L The glass or rollers are dirty with correction fluid, etc. Clean them
(page 75). Please do not insert a document before correction fluid
has dried completely.
Cause & Solution
L You may have subscribed to a voice mail service due to service
packs offered by your telephone company. Fax reception may not
be possible when voice mail is activated so we recommend you to:
– contact your telephone company and request to deactivate
voice mail service, or
– subscribe to a Distinctive Ring service (page 39).
L The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit.
Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 19).
L The receiving mode is set to TEL mode. Set to FAX ONLY mode by
pressing {AUTO ANSWER}.
L The time taken to answer the call is too long. Decrease the number
of rings before the unit answers a call (feature #210 on page 54).
L Make sure that the Distinctive Ring of feature #430 is set properly
(page 39). If you do not subscribe to the Distinctive Ring service
offered by your local telephone company, this feature should be
OFF.
L The incoming call is not a fax. Change the receiving mode to TEL
mode by pressing {AUTO ANSWER}.
L The other party placed the document in their fax machine the
wrong way. Check with the other party.
