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 colour fax prints only in
black & white. Replace the colour ink cartridges that have reached the end of their life, and then
ask the other person to send the colour fax again. (See Replacing the ink
cartridges on page 119.)
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 37.)

to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord
connection. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone
company to check the line.
