Cannot Send a Fax
Issue
Cause and Solution
- You cannot send faxes if the power is turned off. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the power on.
- If you disconnected the power cord without turning off the power (a mode button is lit), reconnect it, then the power is turned on automatically.
- If you disconnect the power cord after pressing the ON/OFF button to turn off the power (all mode buttons are not lit), reconnect it, then press the ON/OFF button to turn on the power.
- If the power was turned off due to power failure, etc., the power is automatically turned on when the power failure is recovered.
