• If the printer shares the same phone line with a DSL service, the DSL modem
might not be grounded correctly. If the DSL modem is not grounded correctly, it
can create noise on the phone line. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise)
can cause faxing problems. You can check the sound quality of the phone line
by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other
noise. If you hear noise, turn off your DSL modem and completely remove
power for at least 15 minutes. Turn the DSL modem back on and listen to the
dial tone again.
NOTE: You might notice static on the phone line again in the future. If the
printer stops sending and receiving faxes, repeat this process.
If the phone line is still noisy, contact your telephone company. For information
on turning your DSL modem off, contact your DSL provider for support.
• If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is
a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the
splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
