Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering
machine?
If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the
fax accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory cannot receive faxes. If
the rings-to-answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax
accessory answers all calls.
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax
call in progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on
the fax telephone line.
Check fax accessory status
If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Configuration Page report to
check the status.
1. From the Home screen, scroll to and touch the Administration button.
2. Open the following menus:
●
Reports
●
Configuration/Status Pages
●
Configuration Page
3. Touch the Print button to print the report, or touch the View button to view the report on the screen.
The report consists of several pages.
NOTE: The product IP address or host name is listed on the Jetdirect Page.
On the Fax Accessory Page of the Configuration Page, under the Hardware Information heading,
check the Modem Status. The following table identifies the status conditions and possible solutions.
NOTE: If the Fax Accessory Page does not print, there might be a problem with the analog fax
accessory. If you are using LAN fax or Internet fax, those configurations could be disabling the feature.
