    Machine does not switch automatically between telephone and fax calls.
    You cannot receive faxes and an error report is printed.

    Cause and Solution

    Is the machine set to receive automatically?
    For the machine to receive faxes automatically, the receive mode must be set to <FaxOnly>, <FaxTel>, <AnsMode>, or <NeSwitch>. If you have set <AnsMode>, confirm that an external telephone with built in answering machine is connected to the machine and that it is turned on with an outgoing message properly recorded. (See "Selecting the Receive Mode that Suits Your Needs.")

    Are documents stored in memory, leaving little or no memory available?
    Print, send, or delete any documents stored in memory.

    Has an error occurred during reception?

    Is paper loaded in the machine?
    Make sure paper is loaded in the machine. (See "Loading Paper into the Paper Cassettes," and "Loading Paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray.")

    Is the telephone cable connected properly?
    Make sure the cable is connected properly.
