Check the error-correction settings

Usually, the printer monitors the signals on the telephone line while it is sending or receiving a fax. If the printer

detects an error during the transmission and the error-correction setting is

On

, the printer can request that the

portion of the fax be resent. The factory-set default for error correction is

On

.

You should turn off error correction only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and you are willing

to accept the errors in the transmission. Turning off the setting might be useful when you are trying to send a fax

overseas or receive one from overseas, or if you are using a satellite telephone connection.

Send to a different fax machine

Try sending the fax to a different fax machine. If the fax quality is better, the problem is related to the initial

recipient's fax machine settings or supplies status.

Check the sender's fax machine

Ask the sender to try sending from a different fax machine. If the fax quality is better, the problem is with the

sender's fax machine. If a different fax machine is unavailable, ask the sender to consider making the following

changes:

Make sure the original document is on white (not colored) paper.

Increase the fax resolution, quality level, or contrast settings.

If possible, send the fax from a computer software program.
