Troubleshooting
■ The MultiPASS does not switch automatically between telephone
and fax reception.
The MultiPASS may not be set to switch automatically between telephone and fax
reception.
• For the MultiPASS to switch automatically, the receive mode must be set to Fax/Tel
Mode, ANS.MACHINE MODE, or NET SWITCH* (1 Chapter 8). If you have set
ANS.MACHINE MODE, confirm that an answering machine is connected to the
MultiPASS and that it is turned on with an outgoing message properly recorded.

An error may have occurred during reception.
• Check the LCD for an error message. (1 p. 13-5)
• Print an ACTIVITY REPORT and check for an error. (1 p. 11-3)
The multi-purpose tray may be empty.
• Make sure paper is loaded in the multi-purpose tray. (1 p. 2-17)
The sending fax machine may not send the CNG signal that tells the MultiPASS
that the incoming signal is a fax.
• Some fax machines cannot send the CNG signal that tells your MultiPASS the
incoming call is from a fax machine. In such cases, you will have to receive the fax
manually. (1 p. 8-8)
■ Cannot receive a document manually.
You may have disconnected the call by pressing Start or dialling the remote
receiving ID after hanging up the handset.
• Always press Start or dial the remote receiving ID before hanging up the handset.
Otherwise you will disconnect the call.
■ Print quality is poor.
You may not be using the correct type of paper.
• Make sure you load paper that meets the paper requirements for the MultiPASS.

• The sending fax machine usually determines the fax’s quality. Call the sender and
have them make sure the top cover and scanning glass of their fax machine are
clean.
Error Correction Mode (ECM) may be disabled.
• Make sure ECM is on. (1 ECM RX, p. 14-7)
