Cannot Send Faxes
❏ If the user restriction feature has been enabled, a user name and password are required to operate the printer.
Contact your administrator if you do not know the password.
❏ If the user restriction feature has been enabled, and you send a fax from a computer, user authentication is
performed using the user name and password set in the printer driver. When you cannot send a fax due to an
authentication error, contact your administrator.
❏ Set up the header information for outgoing faxes on the control panel. Some fax machines automatically reject
incoming faxes that do not include header information.
❏ If you have blocked your caller ID, unblock it. Some phones or fax machines automatically reject anonymous
calls.
❏ Ask the recipient if the fax number is correct and the recipient's fax machine is ready to receive a fax.
