      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.

      If voice calls are interrupted by the fax on your Sharp Fax Machine, especially when using an extension phone, it might be because the reception mode is set to A.M. To prevent this on a tone dial extension, press any three keys on the extension phone after answering.

      If your Sharp Fax Machine is on but no transmission occurs, check that the receiving machine has paper and that the telephone line cord is plugged into the TEL. LINE socket, not the TEL. SET socket. Also, if the receiving machine is in manual mode without an attendant, reception won't be possible. Check the display for error messages and pick up the handset to check for a dial tone.
