Fax problems

Problem

Solution

The machine is not working, there is

no display, and the buttons are not

working.

Unplug the power cord and plug it in again. Check that your

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.

The numbers stored in memory do not

dial correctly.

Make sure the numbers are programmed correctly. To print a

Phone book list, see Print reports on page 43.

The document does not feed into the

machine.

Be sure the document is not wrinkled, and you are putting it

in correctly. Check that the document is the right size and not

too thick or too thin. See Document types and sizes on

page 63.
