Problems and Solutions Reception and copying problems Problem Solution The fax machine doesn't receive documents automatically. • Make sure that the reception mode is set to FAX. If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service, make sure that the Distinctive Ring function is set to the correct ring pattern. If you do not subscribe to a distinctive ring service, make sure that Distinctive Ring is set to OFF SETTING. (See Distinctive Ring on page 99.) The power is on, but no reception takes place. • Make sure that the telephone line cord is plugged into the TEL. LINE jack, and not the TEL. SET jack. The printing paper comes out blank when you try to receive a document. • Make sure that the document is loaded properly in the feeder of the transmitting machine. Make a copy or print a report to confirm the printing ability of your machine. General print quality is poor. • It is important to select a paper that is appropriate for the thermal transfer printer in your fax. We recommend using laser quality paper that has a very smooth finish. Copier paper will work, but it sometimes tends to yield a lighter print quality. The received document is faint. • Ask the other party to send higher contrast documents. If the contrast is still too low, your fax machine may need service. Make a copy or print a report to check your machine's printing ability. Received images are distorted. • Noise on the telephone line may cause distortion. Have the other party try sending the document again. • The print head may be dirty. See Print head on page 126. • Make a copy or print a report on your fax machine. If the copy or report is also distorted, your fax machine may need service. 132
