Part of the document you sent to the recipient is cut off.
Cause
Was your original placed with the correct orientation?
Remedy
Place your document in the correct orientation and try sending again.
The documents you sent are too light.
Cause 1
Is the density set to <LT>?
Remedy
Select <DK> for the <DENSITY> setting.
Cause 2
Is your machine’s feeder scan area or platen glass clean?
Remedy
Copy a document on your machine and see if the document is streaked or dirty.
If the copy is streaked, clean the feeder scan area or platen glass.
Sending is too slow.
Cause 1
Is the resolution set to <FINE>, <PHOTO>, <SUPER FINE>, or <ULTRA
FINE>?
Remedy
Setting the resolution to <STANDARD> reduces the sending time. However, any
fine text in the document will also be harder to read.
Cause 2
Is ECM (Error Correction Mode) set to <ON>?
Remedy
Because ECM corrects errors during a transmission, any problems on the line
can mean that the transmission will take extra time. Set ECM to <OFF>.
Cannot send using ECM (Error Correction Mode).
Cause
Does the receiving fax machine support ECM?
Remedy
If the receiving fax machine does not support ECM, the document is sent in the
normal mode without error checking.
