Problem Checklist

Your OKIFAX is a complex machine with many features and functions. Many problems you experience may be due to improper programming. If you are experiencing a problem, read through the following list of problems and solutions before calling your Authorized OKIFAX Dealer for service.

The display is blank. Make sure your OKIFAX is turned on. Check the power cord to make sure that it is securely plugged into the OKIFAX and into the wall outlet. Check your wall outlet to make sure that it has power.

Nothing happens when you press the control panel keys. Open and close the upper cover.

If that does not solve the problem, turn the OKIFAX off, wait ten seconds, then turn it on again.

The display tells you to replace paper even though there is paper in the paper tray. Make sure that the paper is properly stacked in the tray. Then check for a paper jam in the paper feed path.

Your documents jam in the scanner. Check the document for wrinkles, tears or other damage. If it is damaged, try making a copy of the document on a photocopier and faxing or scanning the copy. Make sure there are no staples or paper clips and that the paper is clean and dry. Make sure the document is not wider than your OKIFAX can load.

Your OKIFAX won’t dial. Check the power cord and wall outlet. Make sure that your telephone line (not your external telephone or handset) is connected to the LINE outlet on the back of your OKIFAX—see page 17. If you have an external telephone connected, lift the handset and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear one, there may be a problem with your telephone line. If you do hear a dial tone, your OKIFAX may be using the wrong dialing method (pulse or tone) for your area. If you hear changing tones instead of dialing pulses and you know that your area uses pulse dialing, refer to the MF(TONE)/DP(PULSE) dial parameter setting on page 61.

The display shows a communication error. A “COMMUN. ERROR” message indicates any of a number of prob- lems.

You may be trying to communicate with an incompat- ible fax machine (your OKIFAX can only communicate with ITU-T Group 3 fax machines).

The remote machine may not be able to perform the function that you want, such as polling or confidential messages.

The remote machine may be out of paper or experi- encing a paper jam.

Bad telephone line conditions can cause communica- tion errors. Try sending the fax again and check to make sure you are dialing the correct telephone number.

If you have to dial a prefix number to get an outside line, or if you are dialing internationally, you may need
