The telephone line cord is connected to
the “ EXT” jack on the unit. Connect to the
“ LINE” jack (p. 16) (KX-FP151 only).

The other party’s machine is not a
facsimile. Check with the other party.

The other party’s fax machine rings too
many times. Send the fax manually
(p. 30).
The other party complains that letters on
their received document are distorted or
not clear.
●
If your line has special telephone services
such as call waiting, the service may have
been activated during fax transmission.
Connect the unit to a line that does not
have these services.
●
The extension telephone on the same line
is off the hook. Hang up the extension
telephone and try again.
●
Try copying the document. If the copied
image is clear, there may be something
wrong with the other party’s machine.

patterns or black lines appear on their
received document.

telephone number or dial manually.
Fax – receiving
I cannot receive documents.

the “ EXT” jack on the unit. Connect to the
“ LINE” jack (p. 16) (KX-FP151 only).

When you have a single telephone line
and subscribe to a telephone company’s
voice mail service, you must also
subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Service

The other party complains that they
cannot send a document.
●
The memory is full of received documents
due to a lack of recording paper or a
recording paper jam. Install paper (p. 15)
or clear the jammed paper (p. 79).
