Troubleshooting and support Solution 6: Make sure the telephone wall jack works properly Solution: Try connecting a working telephone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack you are using for the product and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, call your local telephone company for service. Cause: The telephone wall jack was not working properly. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 7: Check the phone line for noise Solution: 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 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. If the problem persists, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and contact your telephone company. To change the ECM setting from the control panel 1. Press Setup. 2. Press the down arrow button to highlight Advanced Fax Setup, and then press OK. The Advanced Fax Setup menu appears. 3. Press the down arrow button to highlight Error Correction Mode, and then press OK. The Error Correction Mode menu appears. 4. Press the down arrow button to highlight Off or On. 5. Press OK. Cause: The phone line connection was noisy. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing problems. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 8: Make sure extension phones or other equipment on the phone line are not in use Solution: Make sure extension phones (phones on the same phone line, but not connected to the product) or other equipment are not in use or off the hook. For example, you cannot use the product for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dialup modem to send e-mail or access the Internet. Cause: Other equipment that uses the same phone line as the product might have been in use. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 9: Make sure the product is connected to an analog phone line Solution: Make sure you connect the product to an analog phone line or you will not be able to send or receive faxes. To check if your phone line is digital, connect a regular analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If you do not hear a normal sounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set up for digital phones. Connect the product to an analog phone line and try sending or receiving a fax. NOTE: If you are unsure of the kind of phone line you have (analog or digital), check with your service provider. Cause: The product might have been connected to a telephone wall jack that was set up for digital phones. Fax troubleshooting 59
