Sending Faxes

Poor Transmitting Quality

Try changing your resolution to FINE or SUPERFINE (see Resolution, page 6-6).Try cleaning the white pressure bar of the scanner and the glass under the bar (see page 13-1).

Dialing Does Not Work

Check for a dial tone.

Change TONE/PULSE setting (see Setting Dialing Mode (Tone/Pulse), page 4- 1).

Check all line cord connections, and make sure the curled handset cord is not in the EXT jack.

Check power cord connection.

Send a manual fax by pressing Hook or Speaker Phone OR Lifting the handset, and dialing the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Start.

Vertical Black Lines When Sending

Use your fax machine to make a copy. If the copy shows the same problem, the scanner area is dirty. Lift the front cover and check the document path. Clean the scanner’s white pressure bar and the glass under the bar using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth (see page 13-1).

Handling Incoming Calls

F/T pseudo-ring in FAX/TEL Mode

The fax machine knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signaling you to answer the telephone call. Pick up the fax machine handset or answer from an extension phone and press your fax machine’s Telephone Answer Code (default setting is #51). (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-6.)

Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine

If you have answered the fax machine handset, press Start, and hang up immediately.

If you answered at an extension phone, press your three-digit Fax Receive Code (the factory setting is 51). When your fax machine answers, hang up.

Fax Machine “Hears” Voice as CNG Tone

If your fax machine is set to Easy Receive ON, and it answers voice calls by trying to receive a fax, try turning Easy Receive to OFF.
