Print Quality Problems
Note:
To enhance print quality, toner/print cartridges for many models of equi\
pment are designed to cease 
functioning at a predetermined point.
Note:
Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color\
 pages, because color consumables 
are used. This is the default setting on most printers.
CAUTION:
The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee d\
oes not cover damage caused by 
using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Total Satisfaction Guara\
ntee is available in the United 
States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact\
 your local representative for 
details.

Problems Receiving Faxes
Symptom Cause Solution
The received fax is blank. There may be a problem with the 
telephone connection or with the caller’s 
fax machine. Check that the printer can make clean 
copies. If it can, have the caller send 
the fax again.
The sender may have loaded the pages 
incorrectly. Contact the sender.
The printer answers the 
call, but will not accept 
incoming data. Not enough memory.  If the job contains several graphics, the 
printer might not have enough 
memory. The printer will not answer if 
memory is low. Delete stored 
documents and jobs and wait for the 
existing job to complete. This will 
increase available memory.
The paper supply in the printer may not 
match the document size sent. Confirm the original size of the 
documents. Documents might be 
reduced based on the available paper 
supply in the printer.
The printer is set to receive faxes manually. Set the printer to automatic reception.
The received fax size is 
reduced.
Faxes cannot be received 
automatically.
The memory is full.  Load paper if it is empty, and then  print the faxes stored in the memory.
The telephone line is incorrectly connected. Check the telephone line connection. If  it is disconnected, connect it.
There may be a problem with the sender’s 
fax machine. Make a copy to check that your printer 
is operating correctly. If the copy prints 
correctly, have the recipient check their 
fax machine.
