• If user restriction has been enabled, you may need to enter a user name and password. Contact your

administrator for assistance.

so you can receive faxes automatically.

• If you did not connect a telephone to your product, set the Receive Mode setting to

so you can

receive faxes automatically.

• Check that the cable connecting your telephone wall jack to your product's

LINE

port is secure.

• Print a fax connection report using your product control panel or fax software to help diagnose the

problem.

• Verify that the telephone wall jack works by connecting a phone to it and testing it.

• If there is no dial tone and you connected the product to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) phone line

or Terminal Adapter, change the

Line Type

setting to

PBX

. If you still cannot send a fax, turn off the

product's dial tone detection setting. (Turning off the dial tone setting may cause the product to drop
the first digit of a fax number.)

• Check the

Line Type

setting and set it to

PBX

. If your phone system requires an external access code

to reach an outside line, register the code to the product and add a # (hash) to the beginning of the
phone number when dialing.

• If you connected your product to a DSL phone line, you must connect a DSL filter to the phone jack to

enable faxing over the line. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter.

• If you are connected to a DSL phone line, connect the product directly to a telephone wall jack and

send a fax. If it works, the problem may be caused by the DSL filter. Contact your DSL provider.

• If your telephone line has static, turn off your product's error correction mode fax communication

setting and try faxing again.

• Make sure you installed the FAX driver for your product and that it is not paused.

• The data being sent may be too large. Try faxing the originals in batches, by using a connected phone,

or by selecting

On Hook

. If you are faxing in monochrome, enable the

Direct Send

setting (

Fax

>

Fax

Settings

>

Fax Send Settings

).

• Try lowering the recipient's fax speed setting from the contact list menu.

• If a communication error occurs, change the

setting to

Slow(9,600bps)

on the control

panel.

• Make sure the error correction mode (ECM) setting is turned on if you are trying to send or receive a

color fax.
