■
Received faxes print blotched or unevenly.
The telephone lines may be in poor condition, or you may have a bad connection.
• Error Correction Mode (ECM) sending/receiving should eliminate such problems.

The other party’s fax machine may not be functioning properly.
• The sending fax machine usually determines the fax’s quality. Contact the other party
and have them check that the scanning components of their fax machine are clean.
Toner may be low or unevenly distributed.
