Your received documents are light or have vertical streaks on them and you are not out of toner.

You want to answer an external telephone but your machine always answers first. If you are using an external telephone, change your machine’s ring response user function setting. See the Programming section.
Your received faxes sometimes look distorted. If the document received is longer than the paper you have loaded into your paper tray, your machine automatically reduces the length of the document to fit on your paper.
If the document received is wider than the paper you have loaded into your paper tray, your machine can be programmed to reduce the width of the document to fit on your paper. This feature is called Width Reduction. Using it will affect the appearance of the received fax.
This type of problem could also be communication related.
