Troubleshooting

ENABLE ERROR CORRECTION

Errors and blurs may appear in the faxed document if there is too much noise on the line. This option enables the printer to transmit the bad blocks of data again and correct the errors. When a fax has too many errors, the fax may be rejected by the receiving fax machine.

1From the printer control panel, navigate to:

> Setup > OK > Fax Setup > OK > Dialing and Sending > OK > Error Correction > OK

2Check to see if error correction is set to On.

If it is not set to On, then press the arrow buttons to select On, and then press OK .

ENABLE AUTOMATIC FAX CONVERSION

If the receiving fax machine does not support color fax, then this option automatically converts the outgoing color fax to black and white. It also automatically reduces the resolution of the fax to a resolution that the receiving machine can support.

1From the printer control panel, navigate to:

> Setup > OK > Fax Setup > OK > Dialing and Sending > OK > Auto Fax Convert > OK

2Check to see if automatic fax conversion is set to On.

If it is not set to On, then press the arrow buttons to select On, and then press OK .

MAKE SURE THAT THE DIAL PREFIX SETTING IS CORRECT

The dialing prefix is the number or series of numbers that you press before you can dial the actual fax number or telephone number. If the printer is in an office setting or in a private branch exchange, this can be a specific number that you need to press so you can make a call outside the office.

Make sure that the dial prefix entered in the printer is correct for your network.

1From the printer control panel, navigate to:

> Setup > OK > Fax Setup > OK > Dialing and Sending > OK > Dial Prefix > OK

2Press the arrow buttons to create or modify the prefix.

3If the prefix is not correct, enter the correct prefix, and then press OK .

Cannot receive faxes

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE CONFIGURED THE CORRECT SETTINGS FOR YOUR SETUP

The fax settings depend on whether the printer is connected to its own fax line or shares the line with other devices.

If the printer is sharing the telephone line with an answering machine, then make sure that the following are set:

Auto Answer is On.

The printer picks up on a greater number of rings than the answering machine.

The printer picks up on the correct distinctive ring (if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service).
