HP Fax 1200 Series
Fax transmission is slow • Does your fax contain a lot of graphics? Complex
faxes take longer to send because the data has to
transfer over the phone line.
• Do you have a noisy phone-line connection? A noisy
connection may affect transmission speed.
• Are you using a high resolution? Use Standard to
achieve the fastest transmission.
• Are you faxing in color? Color faxes require more
data to be transmitted.
• Is something wrong with the receiving fax
machine? Check with the recipient. The receiving
fax machine may have a problem.
Faxes are received, but are not
printing • Was there an error? Check the front-panel display
for any error messages.
• Do you have paper in the input tray or is there a
paper jam? If the unit runs out of paper or becomes
jammed, incoming faxes are stored in memory.
After loading paper or clearing a jam, print the
faxes stored in memory. (If the memory becomes
full, the unit will stop answering calls.) For more
information, see “Reprint the faxes in memory.”
Faxes print out slanted • Is the paper feeding properly from the input tray?
Make sure the input tray is not overfilled. The paper
must fit within the guides. Make sure the guides do
not inhibit how the paper moves.
• Was the fax sent correctly? Check with the sender.
The original may not have been loaded correctly
into the sending fax machine.
