Problems with receiving faxes

Incoming fax calls are not being answered by the fax accessory (no fax detected).

ENWW
Cause
The fax machine to which you are
sending might be malfunctioning.
Your phone line might not be working.
Your phone line might be noisy or poor
quality
A call-waiting feature might be active
If the fax accessory is on a PBX
system, the PBX system might be
generating a dial tone the fax accessory
cannot detect.
There might be a poor phone
connection.
The fax machine to which you are
sending might be malfunctioning.
Your phone line might not be working.
The fax accessory automatically redials
a fax number if the Redial on Busy
option is set to on or if the Redial On No
Answer is set on.
The receiving fax machine might be
turned off or might have an error
condition, such as being out of paper.
A fax might be in memory because it is
waiting to redial a busy number, or
there are other jobs ahead of it waiting
to be sent.
Solution
Check the rings-to-answer setting.
Solution
Try sending to another fax machine.
Disconnect the fax accessory from the
phone jack, and connect a phone. Try
to make a phone call to ensure the
phone line is working.
Try using a lower baud rate to improve
the reliability of transmission. See
maximum baud rate setting.
Verify that the fax telephone line does
not have an activated call-waiting
feature. A call-waiting notice can
interrupt a fax call in progress, which
causes a communication error.
Disable the detect dial tone setting.
Try again later.
Try sending to another fax machine.
Disconnect the fax accessory from the
phone jack, and connect a phone. Try
to make a phone call to ensure the
phone line is working.
This is normal operation. If you do not
want the fax to retry, set Redial on Busy
to 0 and set Redial On No Answer to 0.
Call the recipient to make sure the fax
machine is turned on and ready to
receive faxes.
If a fax job is in memory for either of
these reasons, an entry for the job
appears in the fax log. Print the fax
activity log, and check the Result
column for jobs with a Pending
designation.
