Fax Troubleshooting
If the Fax isn’t operating correctly, try using the copy function. If the copy 
function’s printing results are correct, the probability of a fault in the Fax itself is 
low. The fault is likely in the telephone line or receiving Fax. If the fault is in the 
telephone line, first retry sending the data. If there is no improvement, contact the 
telephone company. If the copy function’s printing results are incorrect, it can be 
determined if the fault is in the scanner or printer by operating each unit 
separately via a computer.
Transmission Fault
1. Problem with printing quality at receiving Fax, such as corrupt image, lines in 
image, or top/bottom cut off.
a. If a copy is normal.
Cause: Degraded telephone line connection is caused by noise, etc., or a fault 
in receiving Fax’s printer.
Corrective Action: Determine whether the fault is in the telephone or 
receiving Fax by trying a copy function at the receiving Fax.
If the telephone line is degraded, white horizontal lines, missing rows, 
and/or cut-off top/bottom may occur. Branch connections or incoming 
call (call waiting) may also caused image corruption.
b. If copy function is faulty.
Cause: Dirt or fault in scanner.
Corrective Action: Clean the document glass or repair the scanner. If the 
original is being sent from the ADF, try making a copy with the original placed 
on the platen. If this resolves the problem, the fault is in the ADF.
