Problem Cause Solution
Sent faxes are not arriving at the
receiving fax machine.
The receiving fax machine might be off
or might have an error condition, such as
being out of paper.
Call the recipient to verify that the fax
machine is on and ready to receive
faxes.
The originals might be incorrectly loaded. Verify that the original documents are
correctly loaded into the ADF input tray
or flatbed scanner.
A fax might be in memory because it is
waiting to redial a busy number, other
jobs that are ahead of it are waiting to be
sent, or the fax is set up for a delayed
send.
If a fax job is in memory for any of these
reasons, an entry for the job appears in
the fax log. Print the fax activity log and
check the Status column for jobs that
show a Pending designation.
Sent faxes include a block of gray
shading at the end of each page.
The glass-fax size might be set
incorrectly.
Verify that the setting is correct.
Sent faxes have data missing from the
end of each page.
The glass-fax size might be set
incorrectly.
Verify that the setting is correct.
The control panel shows a low-memory
error.
The fax might be too large, or the
resolution might be too high.
Try one of the following:
●
Divide a large fax into smaller
sections, and then fax them
individually.
●
Clear stored faxes to make more
memory available for outgoing
faxes.
●
Configure the outgoing fax as a
delayed fax, and then verify that it
will send completely.
●
Make sure that the product is using
the lowest resolution setting
(Standard).
