Caller ID is not shown
Contact your telecommunications company to verify that your telephone line is subscribed to the caller ID service.
If your region supports multiple caller ID patterns, you may have to change the default setting. There are two settings
available: FSK (pattern 1) and DTMF (pattern 2). The availability of these settings by way of the Fax menu depends on
whether your country or region supports multiple caller ID patterns. Contact your telecommunications company to
determine which pattern or switch setting to use. Troubleshooting269

3If you do not hear a dial tone, then plug a different telephone into the wall jack.
4If you still do not hear a dial tone, then plug a telephone into a different wall jack.
5If you hear a dial tone, then connect the printer to that wall jack.
REVIEW THIS DIGITAL PHONE SERVICE CHECKLIST
The fax modem is an analog device. Certain devices can be connected to the printer so that digital telephone services
can be used.
If you are using an ISDN telephone service, then connect the printer to an analog telephone port (an R-interface
port) on an ISDN terminal adapter. For more information and to request an R-interface port, contact your ISDN
provider.
If you are using DSL, then connect to a DSL filter or router that will support analog use. For more information,
contact your DSL provider.
If you are using a PBX telephone service, then make sure you are connecting to an analog connection on the PBX.
If none exists, consider installing an analog telephone line for the fax machine.
CHECK FOR A DIAL TONE
Place a test call to the telephone number to which you want to send a fax to make sure that it is working correctly.
If the telephone line is being used by another device, then wait until the other device is finished before sending
a fax.
If you are using the On Hook Dial feature, then turn up the volume to verify a dial tone. Troubleshooting270
