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:
●

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.

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.
