Loading Printing Paper in Chapter 1.
• Make sure the power lead is properly plugged into a
power outlet.
• Connect another electrical appliance to the outlet to
see if it has power.

several seconds later.

Transmittable Documents on page 79).

on a tone dial extension phone, press any three keys
on the extension phone after answering. (Note: Do
not enter the code to activate fax reception.)
• Make sure you have not run out of paper.

sure that your fax number has been entered both in
your machine and in the transmitting machine.
