      If received images from your Sharp Fax Machine are distorted, noise on the telephone line may be the cause. Have the other party try sending the document again. Make a copy or print a report on your fax machine. If the copy or report is also distorted, your fax machine may need service.

      If the Sharp Fax Machine displays 'LINE ERROR', retry the transaction. If the error continues, ensure the cord from the TEL. LINE socket to the wall is no longer than two meters. Also, confirm that no modem devices share the line, the other fax machine functions correctly, and your telephone line is free of noise. Try a different telephone line. If problems persist, the fax machine may require service.
