Lexmark 90T9105, 30E Cannot send faxes, Connection checklist, Fax Setup Dialing and Sending Scan

Connection checklist

•Make sure that the printer and other devices on the line (if applicable) are set up and configured correctly according to your setup scenario.

•Make sure that the cables are connected to the correct ports.

•Make sure that the cables are securely plugged in.

Check the cable connections for the following hardware, if applicable:

Power supply Answering machine Cable modem Splitter

Telephone VoIP adapter DSL filter RJ-11 adapter

•If the printer is connected to a Digital Subscriber Line, then make sure you are using a DSL filter for the printer.

•If the printer is connected to a VoIP adapter or cable modem, then make sure that the printer is plugged into the first phone port.

•If you are using a splitter, then make sure that you are using a phone splitter. Do not use a line splitter.

Cannot send faxes

If the “Fax troubleshooting checklist” does not solve the problem, then try one or more of the following:

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE REGISTERED YOUR USER INFORMATION IN THE PRINTER

If you did not enter your user information during initial setup, then enter your fax name and fax number. In some countries, you cannot send a fax without entering your fax name or company name. Some fax machines also block unknown faxes or faxes without sender information.

DECREASE THE TRANSMISSION SPEED OF THE FAX MODEM

The modem of the printer can transmit data at 33,600 bps. This is the maximum speed at which the printer can send and receive faxes. It is not necessary, however, to set the modem to its fastest transmission capability. The speed of the modem of the receiving fax machine must match or be greater than the speed at which you are sending your fax. Otherwise, your fax will not be received.

To decrease the transmission speed of the modem:

1From the home screen, navigate to Max Send Speed:

> Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Max Send Speed

2Select a sending speed, and then touch Accept.

SET THE PRINTER TO SCAN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT BEFORE DIALING THE NUMBER

The printer does not automatically redial if you set it to scan the original document after dialing the number.

Set the printer to scan before dialing so that you do not have to scan the document again if the fax fails. The scanned document is saved in the printer memory. The printer can then retrieve it and automatically redial the number.

To set the printer to scan before dialing:

1From the home screen, navigate to Scan:

> Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Scan

2Touch Before Dial, and then touch Accept.
