Fax troubleshooting checklist
Before you troubleshoot, use the following checklist to solve most fax problems:
•
Check the dial tone to make sure that the cable connections are correct and that the telephone line is working.
To check the dial tone:
1
Plug an analog telephone into the wall jack.
2
Listen for a dial tone through the telephone handset.
If you hear a dial tone, then the connections are correct and the line is working.
If you do not hear a dial tone, then check the other items on the checklist, and then listen for a dial tone after
checking each item.
•
Make sure that the devices are set up correctly according to your setup scenario in the "Setting up the printer to
fax" section.
•
Make sure that the cables are connected to the correct ports.
•
Make sure that the cables are securely plugged in.
