Problem Solution
The machine is not working, there is no Unplug the power cord and plug it in again. Check that your
display, and the buttons are not working, socket is live.
No dial tone. Check that the phone line is connected properly to the port in the
bottom of the fax. Unplug and replug it. Make sure it clicks. Check
the phone socket in the wall by plugging in another phone.
Someone calls and gets a busy signal
even though the fax is not busy.
This may rarely occur if the answer mode is set to AUTO, a voice
call comes in and is hung up without being answered, and another
call is immediately received. In AUTO mode the machine goes
back to fax receive mode if the voice call is not answered. The line
will appear busy until the machine resets.
