Phone Line Busy
Your telephone line or the telephone
line of the receiving fax machine is
busy. This happens especially if the
printer is sharing the line with other
devices (telephone, answering
machine).
• Set the printer to redial.
• Increase the time between the
redial attempts.
• Place a test call to the number to
which you want to send a fax to
make sure that it is working
correctly.
• If the telephone line is being used
by another device, then wait until
the other device is finished before
sending the fax.
• Schedule to resend the fax at a
later time.
• Set the printer to scan before
dialing. The scanned document is
saved in the printer memory. The
printer can then retrieve it and
automatically redial the number.
No Answer
Auto Answer may have been turned
off on the receiving fax machine.
• Verify the number, and then
resend the fax.
• Set the printer to redial.
Note: Depending on your country
or region, there may be a limit on
the number of redial attempts,
regardless of the redial settings
that you set in your printer.
• Schedule to resend the fax at a
later time.
