• Check your inbox and delete faxes after reading or printing them. If the inbox is full, the product cannot receive faxes. • When sending faxes using the subaddress feature, ask the recipient if their fax machine can receive faxes using this feature. Check that the subaddress and password are correct, and that they match with the recipient subaddress and password. Check this when receiving faxes as well. • If you cannot send faxes at a specified time, make sure the date and time are set correctly on the product. • If you cannot receive A3-size faxes, make sure you selected the correct paper size setting for the paper source containing the A3-size paper. Also, be sure to enable the paper source to receive faxes as the Auto Select Settings option. Note: If your product is connected to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone line, keep in mind that fax machines are designed to work over analog phone lines. Epson cannot guarantee that fax transmission will work when using VoIP. If your phone line includes voice mail answering services, calls or faxes may be inadvertently received by your voice mail service.

• Check your inbox and delete faxes after reading or printing them. If the inbox is full, the product cannot

receive faxes.

• When sending faxes using the subaddress feature, ask the recipient if their fax machine can receive

faxes using this feature. Check that the subaddress and password are correct, and that they match

with the recipient subaddress and password. Check this when receiving faxes as well.

• If you cannot send faxes at a specified time, make sure the date and time are set correctly on the

product.

• If you cannot receive A3-size faxes, make sure you selected the correct paper size setting for the

paper source containing the A3-size paper. Also, be sure to enable the paper source to receive faxes

as the

Auto Select Settings

option.

Note:

If your product is connected to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone line, keep in mind that

fax machines are designed to work over analog phone lines. Epson cannot guarantee that fax

transmission will work when using VoIP.

If your phone line includes voice mail answering services, calls or faxes may be inadvertently received

by your voice mail service.
