❏ You cannot send a document.
The BJ cartridge may not be installed properly.
• Make sure the BJ cartridge is installed properly. Do not remove a used BJ cartridge except
to replace it with a new one.
The fax may have overheated.
• Unplug the fax and let it cool for several minutes. Then plug it back in and try sending
again.
The fax may not be set for the type of telephone line in use (pulse/tone).
• Make sure the fax is set for the correct telephone line type (see p. 2-6).
The document may not have been loaded correctly into the document tray.
• Remove the document, stack it if necessary, and load it into the document tray correctly
(see p. 3-2).
• Make sure the printer cover is closed.
The one-touch speed dialing button or coded speed dialing code you entered may not be
registered for the feature you want to use.
• Check the one-touch speed dialing button or coded speed dialing code and make sure it is
registered correctly (see pp. 2-12 to 2-14).
You may have dialed or have been provided with an incorrect number.
• Dial the number again, or check that you have the correct number.
The receiving party’s fax machine may be out of paper.

• Allow time for those documents to finish sending.
An error may have occurred during sending.
• Print an activity report and check for an error (see p. 8-7).

machine).
❏ Documents sent from the fax are spotted or dirty.
The receiving fax machine may not be working properly.
• Check the fax by making a copy (see p. 4-1). If the copy is clear, the problem may be in the
