Sending Faxes

Poor transmitting quality

Try changing your resolution to FINE or SUPERFINE. (See 

Fax 

Resolution

, page 20) Make a copy to verify the machine’s scanner 

operation.

Transmission verification 
prints “Results:NG”

There is probably temporary noise or static on the phone line. Try 
sending the fax again. If the problem continues, call the Telephone 
Company to check your phone line.

When the receiving party 
says the picture is not clear

Sometimes the resolution mode you chose when you sent your fax 
may not have been appropriate. Send the fax again, but try using the 

FINE

 or 

S.FINE

 mode. Also, the machine’s scanner may be dirty, 

so try cleaning it.

When the receiving party 
says vertical streaks appear 
on the faxes they receive

The machine’s scanner may be dirty or the receiving party’s print 
head may be dirty. Clean your scanner and make a copy to check if 
the problem was caused by the machine.

Handling Incoming Calls (with external telephone)

F/T pseudo-ring in Fax/Tel 
(F/T) Mode.

The machine knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signalling 
you to answer the telephone call. Pick up the external telephone’s 
handset and press 

Hook

 or answer from an extension phone and 

press the machine’s Deactivation Code (default setting is 

#51

 (

#91

 

for New Zealand)).

Transferring a fax call to the 
machine.

If you answered at the machine, press 

Fax Start

 and hang up 

immediately. If you answered at an extension phone, press your 
Remote Activation Code (default setting is 

51

 (

91

 for New 

Zealand)). When the machine answers, hang up.

General Printing Difficulties

The machine does not print.

Make sure the machine is turned on. The toner cartridge and drum 
unit are installed properly. The interface cable is securely connected 
between the machine and computer. Check to see if LCD is showing 
an error message.

The machine prints 
unexpectedly or it prints 
garbage.

Unplug the machine. Make sure your application software is 
correctly set up to use the machine by checking the primary settings 
in your application software.

The machine prints the first 
couple of pages correctly, then 
some pages have text missing.

Your computer is not recognizing the printer’s “input buffer full” 
signal. Please make sure you connect the printer cable correctly.

The machine cannot print full 
pages of a document. An 

OUT OF MEMORY

 error 

message occurs.

Reduce the print resolution. Reduce the complexity of your 
document and try again. Reduce the graphic quality or the number 
of font sizes within your application software.

My headers or footers appear 
when I view my document on 
the screen but do not show up 
when I print them.

Most laser printers have a restricted area that will not accept print. 
Usually these are the first two lines and last two lines, leaves 62 
printable lines. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document 
to allow for this.
