The printing paper comes
out blank when you try to
receive a document.
• Make sure that the document is loaded properly in the
feeder of the transmitting machine. Make a copy or
print a report to confirm the printing ability of your
machine.
Print quality is poor. • It is important to select a paper that is appropriate for
the thermal transfer printer in your fax. We
recommend using laser quality paper that has a very
smooth finish. Copier paper will work, but it
sometimes tends to yield a lighter print quality.
The received document is
faint.
• Ask the other party to send higher contrast
documents. If the contrast is still too low, your fax
machine may need service. Make a copy or print a
report to check your machine’s printing ability.
Received images are
distorted.
• Noise on the telephone line may cause distortion.
Have the other party try sending the document again.
• The print head may be dirty. Clean the print head as

copy or report is also distorted, your machine may
need service.
The quality of copies is

lines appear.

spots to appear on copies and transmitted faxes.
Clean the scanning glass as explained on page 46.
A received document or
copy prints out in strips.
