● Is a surge-protection device installed? ◦ A surge-protection device might be installed between the telephone jack and the product to protect the product from electrical power that passes through the telephone lines. These devices might cause some fax communication problems by degrading the quality of the telephone signal. If you are having problems sending or receiving faxes, connect the device directly to the telephone jack to determine if the problem is in the surge-protection device. ● Is a telephone company voice-message service being used? ◦ If the messaging service rings-to-answer setting is lower than the product rings-to-answer setting, the messaging service answers the call and the product will not detect incoming faxes. If the product rings-to-answer setting is lower than that of the messaging service, the product answers all calls and no calls will ever be sent to the messaging service. The only voicemessaging system that can be used with the product is a standard telephone-answering machine. ● Is a standard telephone-answering machine installed? ◦ An answering machine must be connected to the port that is labeled with the telephone icon (or it can be shared on the same telephone-line extension). Set the product rings-to-answer setting for at least one ring more than the number of rings that prompts the answering machine to answer a incoming call. For example, if the answering machine is set to answer calls after three rings, set the product rings-to-answer setting to four rings. NOTE: If an answering machine is connected to the same telephone line but is connected to a different jack (for example, in another room), it might interfere with the product to fax reception.
