Pages of a fax I sent are missing Cause: Two or more pages were fed through the document feeder tray at the same time. Solution: Print a Last Transaction report to verify the number of pages that were sent. If two or more pages stuck together and were fed into the document feeder tray at the same time, the number of pages in the report would not match the actual number of pages. If the number of pages listed in the report does not match the actual number of pages, you might need to clean the separator pad in the automatic document feeder. To print a Last Transaction report 1. Press Setup, and then press 2. This selects Print Report. 2. Press to select Last Transaction, and then press OK. For more information on cleaning the separator pad, see Clean the automatic document feeder. Cause: The receiving fax machine is having problems. Solution: To check this, try calling the fax number from a telephone and listen for fax tones.
