Is the recipient's machine out of paper?
Ask the recipient to make sure paper is loaded in the machine.

Is the recipient's machine a G3 fax machine?
Make sure the recipient's machine is compatible with your machine.
Is BUSY/NO SIGNAL shown on the ERROR TX REPORT?

Did the recipient's machine answer within 35 seconds (after all automatic redialing attempts)?
The external phone is busy. Please wait until the external phone becomes free.
Is the machine overheated?
Unplug the machine and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Then plug in the machine and try sending again.
Memory fills up immediately when you try to send.
Are you sending with the resolution set to <SUPER FINE> or <ULTRA FINE>?
If you want to keep your document quality, divide the document into some parts and send them separately.
If your document does not contain fine text or photographs, set the resolution to <STANDARD>.
If your document contains fine text or photographs, send it directly rather than using a memory transmission.
Is a document stored in memory, leaving little memory available?
Print, send, or delete any documents stored in memory.
Faxes sent from the machine are spotted or dirty.
Is the recipient's machine working properly?
Check the machine by making a copy. If the copy is clear, the problem may be in the recipient's machine. If the copy is spotted or dirty, clean the scanner components. (See "Scanning Area.")
Adjust the density for light documents to be darker. (See "Density.")
Are the scanning components of the machine clean?
If the copy is spotted or dirty, clean the scanning components. (See "Scanning Area.")
Sending of documents is too slow.
Is the resolution set to <FINE>, <PHOTO>, <SUPER FINE>, or <ULTRA FINE>?
Setting the resolution to <STANDARD> reduces the sending time.
Is Error Correction Mode (ECM) set to <ON>?
Because ECM corrects errors during a transmission, any problems on the line can mean that the transmission will take extra time. Set <ECM TX> to <OFF>. (See "TX/RX SETTINGS.")
Cannot send using Error Correction Mode (ECM).
Does the recipient's machine support ECM?
If the recipient's machine does not support ECM, the document is sent in normal mode without error checking.
Errors occur frequently while sending.
Are the telephone lines in poor condition, or do you have a bad connection?
Check if there is a device nearby that interferes with signal transmission (e.g., microwave oven).
