9.3.1 Initial settings
9.3.2 General
Problem
Cause & Solution
I cannot hear a dial tone.
L
The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. 
Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 23).
L
If you use a splitter/coupler to connect the unit, remove the 
splitter/coupler and connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the 
unit operates properly, check the splitter/coupler.
L
Disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect a known 
working telephone. If the working telephone operates properly, 
contact our service personnel to have the unit repaired. If the 
working telephone does not operate properly, contact your 
telephone company.
L
The power cord or telephone line cord is not connected. Check the 
connections.
L
If you connected the unit through a computer modem, connect the 
unit directly to a telephone line jack.
I cannot make calls.
L
The dialling mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting 
(feature #120 on page 24).
The unit does not ring.
L
The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 26).
Problem
Cause & Solution
The other party complains 
they only hear a fax tone 
and cannot talk.
L
FAX ONLY mode is set. Tell the other party the number is only used 
for faxes.
The {PAUSE} button does 
not function properly.
L
If this button is pressed during dialling, a pause will be inserted. If 
pressed immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number 
dialled will be redialled.
During programming, I 
cannot enter the code or 
ID number.
L
All or part of the number is the same. Change the number: feature 
#322 (page 65), #434 (page 67) and #435 (page 68).
The unit beeps.
L
The memory reception alert of feature #437 is ON (page 68), and 
the unit has a document in memory. Press {STOP} to stop the 
beeps, then see the displayed message instructions to solve the 
problem.
The output tray becomes 
full quickly or the 
recording paper does not 
stack properly on the 
output tray.
L
High humidity may cause the recording paper to curl. Try turning 
the paper over and re-inserting it. If the curl on the paper is heavy, 
please remove it from the output tray. If you still have this problem, 
contact our service personnel.
I cannot operate the help 
function, adjust volumes 
or program the features.
L
The unit is set to the scan mode. Press {COPY} or {FAX} to switch 
to the copy mode or fax mode. If you still have this problem, contact 
our service personnel.
