TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
INK EMPTY One or more of the ink cartridges are
empty. The fax machine will stop all print
operations (such as printing copies, faxes
and jobs from the PC). While memory is
available, black and white faxes will be
received into memory. If a sending machine
has a color fax, the fax machine’s
“handshake” will request that the fax be
sent as black and white; if the sending
machine has the feature to convert it, the
color fax will be received into memory as a
black and white fax. fax machines
connected with a USB cable will be able to
perform scan operations; fax machines
connected with a parallel cable, will not
scan.
To preserve good quality, the fax machine
periodically cleans the print head. Also,
you can press Ink to start the cleaning when
needed. This cleaning process uses up ink
and can cause the ink to run out.
Replace the ink cartridges. See page 15-16.
