Fax – sending

Problem

●The telephone line cord is connected to the EXT jack on

the unit. Connect to the LINE jack (p. 16).

●The other party’s fax machine is busy or has run out of

recording paper. Try again.

●The other party’s machine is not a facsimile. Check with

the other party.

●The other party’s fax machine rings too many times. Send

the fax manually – dial the number, confirm the fax tone,

then press .

Problem

●The telephone line cord is connected to the EXT jack on

●The receive mode is set to TELmode. Set to FAX ONLY

mode (p. 45) or TEL/FAX mode (p. 46).

the number of rings: feature #06 (p. 56), #30 (p. 59) and

to TELmode (p. 44).

●

printed out, the receiving reduction rate is not programmed
