bottom of sentences are cut off.
You probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone 
line. Ask the other party to send the fax again.
Vertical black lines when receiving. The sender's scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the 
problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine.

black & white.
Replace the color ink cartridges that have reached the end of their life, and then 
ask the other person to send the color fax again. (See Replacing the ink cartridges 
on page 167.)

a single page is printed on two 
pages.
