Printing Received Faxes
Difficulty Suggestions
Condensed print and white streaks
across the page or the top and
bottom of sentences are cut off. You probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone
line. Ask the other party to send the fax again.
Vertical black lines when receiving. The sender's scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the
problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine.
Received color fax prints only in
black and white. Replace the color ink cartridges that are empty or nearly empty, and then ask the
other person to send the color fax again. (See Replacing the ink
cartridges on page 113.)
Left and Right margins are cut off or
a single page is printed on two
pages. Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax on page 40.)

tone) Check that the machine is plugged in and switched on.
Check all line cord connections.
(Canada only) Change Tone/Pulse setting. (See the Quick Setup Guide.)
If an external phone is connected to the machine, send a manual fax by lifting the
handset of the external phone and dialing the number. Wait to hear fax receiving
