The documents you receive are of poor quality.
Cause 1
Is your toner cartridge running low on toner?
Remedy
Remove your toner cartridge and gently tilt it from side to side five or six times to
redistribute the remaining toner. If this does not solve the problem, replace the
toner cartridge.
Cause 2
Is the scan area of the sender’s fax machine clean?
Remedy
Copy a document on your machine. If the document is clean, the problem lies
with the sender’s fax machine. Contact the sender, and ask them to clean their
fax machine.
Cause 3
Are you using the correct type of paper?
Remedy
Make sure you load paper that meets the paper requirements for the machine.
(See Chapter 2, “Basic Operations,” in the
Reference Guide
.)
Cause 4
Is the sending fax machine functioning properly?
Remedy
The sending fax machine usually determines the fax’s quality. Call the sender
and have them make sure the scan area of their fax machine is clean and that
their machine is functioning properly.
Cause 5
Is the machine in the toner saver mode?
Remedy
Set <TONER SAVER MODE> to <OFF>. (See Chapter 5, “Customizing
Settings,” in the
Reference Guide
.)
