Reception and copying problems

Problem
The power is on, but no
reception takes place.
The fax paper does not
come out.
The fax paper comes out
blank when you try to
receive or copy a document.
The received document is
faint.
Received images are
distorted.
Copies are distorted.
Check and remedy
Make sure the wall socket is connected to the
TEL. LINE socket, and not the TEL. SET
socket.
Check that fax is not set to distinctive ringing.
Check the FO-475 is set to FAX or ANS. mode.
The fax paper may be jammed. See Clearing
jammed fax paper in this chapter.
Make sure that the fax paper is properly loaded
in your fax. (If the roll has been loaded
backward, nothing will be printed.)
For reception, make sure that the document for
transmission is loaded face down in the feeder
of the transmitting machine.
Make sure that you are using the recommended
fax paper. See Loading the Fax Paper in
Chapter 1.
Ask the other party to send higher contrast
documents. If the contrast is still too low, your
fax may have a problem. Make a copy to check
it.
Noise on the telephone line may cause
distortion. Have the other party try sending the
document again.
The print head may be dirty. See Fax print head
in Chapter 10.
Make a copy of another document on your fax. If
the copy is also distorted, your fax may have a
problem. If the problem persists, call for service.
Make sure that you are using the recommended
fax paper. See Loading the Fax Paper in
Chapter 1.
Make sure that the fax paper is properly loaded
in your machine.
