• If an extension phone is connected as explained on
page 19, pick up the phone and check for a dial tone.
Dial the receiving machine using the phone and make
sure that it is responding (you should hear a fax tone).
If an extension phone is not connected, use the Line

• Make sure that the document for transmission is
placed face down if you are using the document glass,
or face up if you are using the auto document feeder.
• Noise on the telephone line may cause distortion. Try
sending the document again.
• Make a copy of the document on your machine. If the
copy is also distorted, your machine may need
service.
