Phone Line or Connections

Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If
there is still no answer, check that the telephone line cord is connected
to the jack on the machine labeled LINE and make sure that all
telephone connections are secure. If there is no ringing when you call
your machine, ask your telephone company to check the line.

phone line, try to change the menu setting of Compatibility to Basic.
(See Setting Dial Tone on page 13-14.)
Poor sending quality. Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check
your machine’s scanner operation.
