Problems setting up fax

This section contains information about solving problems you might have when setting up fax for the printer.

Note: If the printer is not set up properly for faxing, you might experience problems when sending faxes, receiving faxes, or both.

If you are having faxing problems, you can print a fax test report to check the status of the printer. The test will fail if the printer is not set up properly for faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up the printer for faxing. For more information, see “Step 2: Test fax setup” on page 11.
