Solution
• Make sure the handset cord is connected to the
correct socket. See Connecting the handset in
Connections in Chapter 1.
• Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into
a power outlet.
• Make sure that the telephone line is properly
connected to both the TEL. LINE socket and the
wall socket.
• Make sure that the fax machine is set to the correct
dialling mode for your telephone line. See
Connecting the telephone line cord in
Connnections in Chapter 1.
• Make sure that the receiving machine has paper.
• Make sure that the telephone line cord is plugged
into the TEL. LINE socket, and not the TEL. SET
socket.
• If the receiving machine is in manual mode with no
attendant, reception will not be possible.
• Check the display for error messages.
• Pick up the handset and check for a dial tone.
• Make sure that the document for transmission is
placed face down in the feeder.
• If Error Correction Mode is turned off (see Error
Correction Mode in Chapter 2), noise on the
telephone line may cause distortion. Try sending
the document again.
• Make a copy of the document on your fax machine.
If the copy is also distorted, your fax machine may
need service.
