Cause: The paper type is not suitable for the HP
Solution: Use HP Premium Papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the HP
Cause: The glass or automatic document feeder of the sending fax machine is dirty.
Solution: If you have vertical lines or streaks on the fax, the sender's fax machine might have dirt or dust on the glass or automatic document feeder. Check with the sender to see if the glass or automatic document feeder is clean.
