Fax Machine Does Not Answer When Called
Make sure the fax machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup
(either FAX, FAX/TEL or MSG CTR). Check for dial tone. If possible, call
your fax machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the
telephone line cord connection. Connect a standard telephone handset to the fax
machine telephone jack. If there is no ringing when you call your fax machine,
call your Telephone Company to check the line.

Press Hook or Speaker Phone —OR—Lift the handset. If you hear no dial
tone, check telephone line cord connections at the fax machine and wall jack.

wall jack with another single line telephone. If no dial tone on the wall outlet,
call your Telephone Company.
