Change the Tone/Pulse setting. (See Quick Setup Guide.)
If there is no dial tone, connect a known working telephone and telephone line cord
to the socket. Then lift the external telephone's handset and listen for a dial tone.
If there is still no dial tone, ask your telephone company to check the line and/or
wall socket.
Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode for your setup.
(See Choose the Receive Mode on page 53.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call
your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line
cord connection. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your
telephone company to check the line.
Suggestions
If you connect your machine to PBX or ISDN, set the menu setting of Telephone
Line Type to your telephone line type. (See Setting the Telephone Line Type
on page 62.)
Suggestions
Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into
the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket inside the machine.
Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error. (See Advanced
User's Guide: Reports.)
Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock Settings.
Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.
Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check your
machine's scanner operation. If the copy quality is poor, clean the scanner. (See
Cleaning the scanner glass on page 96.)
There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again.
If you send a PC FAX message and get "RESULT:ERROR" on the Transmission
Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To gain extra memory,
you can turn off Memory Receive (See Advanced User's Guide: Turning off
Memory Receive operations.), print fax messages from the machine's memory
(See Advanced User's Guide: Printing a fax from the memory.), or cancel a
Delayed Fax or Polling Job. (See Cancelling a fax in progress on page 50.)
(See Advanced User's Guide: Checking and cancelling waiting jobs.) If the
problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your telephone line.
If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone
line, try changing the machine's Compatibility setting to Basic(for VoIP).
(See Telephone line interference / VoIP on page 132.)
If you connect your machine to PBX or ISDN, set the menu setting of Telephone
Line Type to your telephone line type. (See Setting the Telephone Line Type
on page 62.)
Black vertical lines on faxes you send are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid
on the glass strip. Clean the glass strip. (See Cleaning the scanner glass
on page 96.)
