The other party complains
that received documents are
too dark and cannot be read.
LYou used a colored paper as a document. Change the contrast (page 37)
and make a lighter copy of the document, using “Text” resolution (page
42), and try again.
I cannot receive documents. LYou may have subscribed to a voice mail service due to service packs
offered by your telephone company. Fax reception may not be possible
when voice mail is activated so we recommend you to:
– contact your telephone company and request to deactivate voice mail
service, or
– subscribe to a Distinctive Ring service (page 55).
LThe telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. Connect
to the [LINE] jack (page 18).
LFeature #442 is activated and the received fax documents are automatically
transferred to the computer. View the received documents using the
computer (page 52).
LFeature #448 is activated and the received fax documents are automatically
stored in memory. View the received documents on the display (page 48).

{Fax Auto Answer} repeatedly to turn ON the {Fax Auto Answer} light.
LThe time taken to answer the call is too long. Decrease the number of rings
before the unit answers a call (feature #210 on page 58).

If you do not subscribe to the Distinctive Ring service offered by your local
telephone company, this feature should be OFF.

not received.
LThe incoming call is not a fax. Set to TEL mode. Press {Fax Auto Answer}
repeatedly to turn OFF the {Fax Auto Answer} light.
The printing quality of the
received documents is poor.
LIf documents can be copied properly, the unit is working normally. The other
party may have sent a faint document or there may be something wrong
with the other party’s machine. Ask them to send a clearer copy of the
document or to check their fax machine.
LIf documents can not be copied properly, refer to “11.3.2Printing problems”,
page 87.
The other party complains
that they cannot send a
document.

the computer and the unit.
