Troubleshooting
Fax Problems
Problem Check/Explanation
Some of the words on an
incoming fax are stretched.
The fax machine sending the fax had a
temporary document jam. Have the fax
resent.
Lines appear on sent documents. Check the platen glass for marks and clean it.
The printer dials a number, but
the connection with another fax
machine fails.
The other fax machine may be turned off,
out of paper, or cannot answer incoming
calls. Speak with the other machine operator
and ask her/him to sort out the problem.
Documents are not stored in
memory.
There may not be enough memory to store
the document. If the display shows a
Memory Full message, delete any documents
no longer needed from the memory and then
restore the document, or wait for the job in
progress (e.g., a fax transmission or
reception) to complete.
No dial tone sounds. 1. Check that the phone line is connected
properly.
2. Check that the phone socket in the wall is
working by plugging in another phone.
Numbers stored in the memory
do not dial correctly.
Ensure that the numbers are stored in the
memory correctly. (Print a Phone Book list.)
Document does not feed into the
printer.
1. Ensure that the document is not wrinkled
and you are putting it in correctly. Check
that the document is of the right size, not
too thick or thin.
2. Ensure that the ADF cover is firmly closed.
Faxes are not received
automatically.

Full.
Printer does not send faxes 1. Ensure that the document is loaded in the

sending to, to see if it can receive your fax.

the toner cartridge.
