Cannot Send or Receive Faxes
If you cannot send or receive faxes, try these solutions:
• Use Check Fax Connection on the control panel (Settings > Fax Settings > Check Fax
Connection) to run the automatic fax connection check. Try the solutions suggested in the report.
• Make sure the recipient's fax machine is turned on and working.
• Make sure paper is loaded correctly in your product.
• Make sure you have set up your header information and have not blocked your caller ID. Otherwise,
your faxes might be rejected by the recipient's fax machine.
• If you did not connect a telephone to your product, set the Receive Mode setting to Auto so you can
receive faxes automatically.
• Check that the cable connecting your telephone wall jack to your product's LINE port is secure.
• Print a fax connection report using your product control panel or fax software to help diagnose the
problem.
• Verify that the telephone wall jack works by connecting a phone to it and testing it.
• Check the Line Type setting and set it to PBX. If your phone system requires an external access code
to reach an outside line, register the code to the product and add a # (hash) to the beginning of the
phone number when dialing.
• If you connected your product to a DSL phone line, you must connect a DSL filter to the phone jack to
enable faxing over the line. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter.
• If you are connected to a DSL phone line, connect the product directly to a telephone wall jack and
send a fax. If it works, the problem may be caused by the DSL filter. Contact your DSL provider.
• The data being sent may be too large. Try faxing the originals in batches or by using a connected
phone. If you are faxing in monochrome, enable the Direct Send setting (Fax > Fax Settings > Fax
Send Settings).
• Try lowering your product's fax speed setting.
• If a communication error occurs, change the Fax Speed setting to Slow(9,600bps) on the control
panel.
• Make sure the error correction mode (ECM) setting is turned on if you are trying to send or receive a
color fax.
• If your telephone line uses call waiting and you have trouble receiving faxes, turn off call waiting to
prevent disruption of incoming faxes.
