Page: 148 / 183

If the printer is sharing the telephone line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail, then make sure that the following
are set:
•
Auto Answer is Off (if you have only one number on the telephone line).
•
The printer picks up on the correct distinctive ring (if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service).
M
AKE SURE THAT THE PRINTER IS CONNECTED TO AN ANALOG PORT
The printer is an analog device. If you are using a PBX system, then make sure that the printer is connected to an
analog port on the PBX. You may need a digital line converter that converts digital signals into analog signals.
M
AKE SURE THAT THE PRINTER MEMORY IS NOT FULL
The printer saves an incoming fax to the printer memory before it prints the fax. If the printer runs out of ink or runs
out of paper while receiving the fax, then the printer saves the fax so you can print it later. However, if the printer
memory is full, then the printer may not be able to receive more incoming faxes. An error message appears on the
display when the printer memory is full. Resolve the error to free up space in the printer memory.
