The quality of the fax I sent is poor Cause: The phone line connection is noisy. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing problems. Solution: If the failure was due to noise on the phone line, contact the sender to have them resend the fax. The quality might be better when you try again. You can check the sound quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise. If the problem persists, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and contact your telephone company. If the problem persists, check to see if Error Correction Mode (ECM) is On. If it is not, change the ECM setting to On. Faxes might take longer to send, but the print quality of the received fax should improve.

This selects Advanced Fax Setup and then selects Error Correction Mode. 3. Press to select On or Off. 4. Press OK. Cause: The fax resolution setting is set to a low resolution, such as Standard.
