Solve fax problems Checklist for solving fax problems Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax-related problems you encounter: ● Are you using the fax cable supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been tested with the supplied fax cable to meet RJ11 and functional specifications. Do not substitute another fax cable; the analog-fax accessory requires an analog-fax cable. It also requires an analog phone connection.
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature? If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax telephone line. Check fax accessory status If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Configuration Page report to check the status. 1. From the Home screen, scroll to and touch the Administration button. 2.
General fax problems Problem Cause Solution An "Out of Memory" status message displays on the product control panel. The product storage disk is full. Delete some stored jobs from the disk. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Retrieve from Device Memory button. Open the list of stored jobs or stored faxes. Select a job to delete, and then touch the Delete button. Print quality of a photo is poor or prints as a gray box.
● If errors and retries persist, set the fax speed to Slow (V.29) because some VoIP systems cannot handle the higher signal rates associated with fax. ● In rare cases, if errors persist, turn off ECM on the product. The image quality might decrease. Ensure that the image quality is acceptable with ECM off before using this setting. ● If the preceding setting changes have not improved the VoIP fax reliability, contact your VoIP provider for help.
Problem Cause Solution The product is either low on toner or has run out of toner. If configured, the product stops printing as soon as it is low on toner or runs out of toner. Any faxes received are stored in memory and print after the toner has been replaced. The incoming call might be a voice call. Incoming voice calls usually show up in the call report as a No Fax Detected error. Because these are voice calls and not a fax error, no action is necessary. The incoming fax was interrupted.
Problem Cause Solution A call-waiting feature might be active. Verify that the fax telephone line does not have an activated call-waiting feature. A call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in progress, which causes a communication error. If the fax accessory is on a PBX system, the PBX system might be generating a dial tone the fax accessory cannot detect. Disable the detect-dial-tone setting. There might be a poor phone connection. Try again later.
