Usually this is caused by a poor telephone connection. Make a copy; if your copy
looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the
telephone line. Ask the other party to send the fax again.

units (see Cleaning the corona wires on page 107).

problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine.
Received faxes appear as split or
blank pages.

tone)
Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged
directly into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the machine.

Guide).
If an external phone is connected to the machine, send a manual fax by pressing
Hook and dialling the number. Wait to hear the fax receiving tones before pressing
Fax Start.
If there is no dial tone, connect a known working telephone and telephone line
cord directly into your master telephone wall socket. Then lift the external
telephone’s handset and listen for a dial tone. If there is still no dial tone, ask your
telephone company to check the line and wall socket.

when called.
Make sure the machine is in the correct receive mode for your setup (see Receive
Mode settings on page 42).
Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is
still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. If you do not hear ringing
when you call your machine, ask your telephone company to check the line.
