For more information, see:
“The fax test failed” on page 72
Cause: The product was not set up properly for faxing.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the fax number
Solution: Check to see that the fax number you entered is correct and in the proper format.
For example, you might need to dial a "9" prefix, depending on your phone system.
If your phone line has a PBX system, make sure you are dialing the number for an outside line
before dialing the fax number.
Cause: The number you entered when sending the fax was not in the proper format.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Dial the fax number more slowly
Solution: Insert some pauses in the number sequence to slow the dialing pace. For example,
if you need to access an outside line before dialing the phone number, insert a pause following
the access number. If your number is 95555555, and 9 accesses an outside line, you might
insert pauses as follows: 9-555-5555. To enter a pause in the fax number you are typing, press
the symbols button on the keypad (indicated by an asterisk) until a dash (-) appears on the
display.
You can also send the fax using monitor dialing. This enables you to listen to the phone line as
you dial. You can set the pace of your dialing and respond to prompts as you dial.
