Problem Cause & Solution
The other party complains
about the quality of their
received documents.
R Try copying the document. If the copied image is clear, there may be
something wrong with the other party’s machine.
If the copied image is not clear, too dark, or black and white lines or smudges
appear, refer to “10.3.2 Printing problems”, page 85.
R The original document is too dark or too light. Change the contrast
(page 43) and try again.
The other party complains
that received documents are
too dark and cannot be read.
R You used a coloured paper as a document. Change the contrast (page 36)
and make a lighter copy of the document, using “TEXT” resolution
(page 36), and try again.
I cannot receive documents. R The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. Connect
to the [LINE] jack (page 17).
R If your unit is connected to the computer via the LAN and the PC fax setting
(feature #442 on page 68) is activated, the received fax documents are
automatically transferred to the computer. View the received documents
using the computer (page 54).
R The fax preview mode (feature #448 on page 54) is activated and the
received fax documents are automatically stored in memory. View the
received documents on the web browser (page 54).

I cannot receive documents
automatically.
R The receiving mode is set to TEL mode. Set to FAX ONLY mode (page 49)
or TEL/FAX mode (page 50).

before the unit answers a call (feature #210 on page 62).

“CONNECTING.....”, but
faxes are not received.

(page 50) or TEL/FAX mode (page 49).
The printing quality of the
received documents is poor.
R If documents can be copied properly, the unit is working normally. The other
party may have sent a faint document or there may be something wrong
with the other party’s machine. Ask them to send a clearer copy of the
document or to check their fax machine.
R If documents can not be copied properly, refer to “10.3.2 Printing
problems”, page 85.
The other party complains
that they cannot send a
document.

or a recording paper jam. Load paper (page 14) or remove the jammed
paper (page 92).
R If your unit is connected to the computer via the LAN and the PC fax setting
(feature #442 on page 68) is set to “ALWAYS”, check the connection
between the computer and the unit.

mode (feature #448 on page 54) is set to “ON”, view, print or save the
documents, and then erase unnecessary documents (page 54).
