mode, you must start the fax-receive process yourself.

 

Leave the product set to automatic mode and lower the

 

rings-to-answer setting for the product to a number less

product will answer all incoming calls.

The incoming faxes might have been sent on larger media.

Adjust the autoreduction setting to allow larger pages to be

 

printed on one page.

 

 

Received faxes are too light, are blank, or have poor print quality.

Cause

Solution

The product ran out of toner while printing a fax.

The product stores the most recently printed faxes. (The amount of memory that is available determines the actual number of faxes stored for reprinting.) As soon as possible, replace the print cartridge, and then reprint the fax.

The fax that was sent was too light.

Contact the sender and have the sender resend the fax after altering the contrast settings.
