   TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Phone Line or Connections

Dialing does not work. 
(No dial tone)

Check the MFC is plugged in.

Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your MFC to hear it answer. If there 
is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection and make 
sure all telephone connections are secured. If there is no ringing when 
you call your MFC, ask your telephone company to check the line.

Change Tone/Pulse setting. (See 

Setting Tone and Pulse dialing mode

 

on page 2-1.)

Receiving Faxes

Cannot receive a fax

Make sure the MFC is in the correct receiving mode for your setup. (See 

Basic receiving operations

 on page 4-1.) 

If you frequently encounter interference on the phone line, try changing 
the menu setting of Compatibility to 

Basic

 or 

Normal

. (See

Sending Faxes

Cannot send a fax

Make sure that the Fax 

 key is illuminated. (See

Ask the other party to check that receiving machine has paper.

Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error. (See 

Printing reports

 on page 7-3.)

Transmission Verification 
Report says ā€˜Result:NGā€™ or 
ā€˜Result:ERRORā€™.

There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the 
fax again. If you send a PC FAX message and get ā€˜Result:NGā€™ on the 
Transmission Verification Report, your MFC may be out of memory. 

To gain extra memory, you can turn off Fax Storage (see 

Setting Fax 

Storage

 on page 6-3), print fax messages in memory (see 

Printing a fax 

from the memory

 on page 4-5) or cancel a Delayed Fax or Polling Job 

(see 

Canceling a scheduled job

 on page 3-11). If the problem continues, 

ask the telephone company to check your phone line.

If you frequently get transmission error with possible interference on the 
phone line, try to change the menu setting of Compatibility to 

Basic

 or 

Normal

. (See 

Compatibility

 on page 11-14.)
