“The fax test failed” on page 130
Cause: The product was not set up properly for faxing.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the phone line for noise
Solution: You can check the sound quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise. If the failure was due to noise on the phone line, contact the sender to have them resend the fax. The quality might be better when you try again. If the problem persists, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and contact your telephone company.
