Jams in the multi-purpose tray ________________ If paper jams in the multi-purpose tray, CLEAR PAPER JAM is displayed on the LCD. You do not need to unplug the fax when clearing paper jams. Note 1 Gently pull any jammed paper out of the fax as shown. Pull it gently in either direction. 2 Remove the paper stack from the multipurpose tray and reload it (see p. 1-8). Make sure the stack does not exceed the paper limit mark (P). 3 Press [Stop]. 9-2 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.
Periodic cleaning Your fax requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for the fax. Please note the following before cleaning: • Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the fax. Since documents in memory are erased when the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord (see p. 5-14).
4 When you are finished, close the printer cover. 5 Reconnect the power cord. Be sure to close the printer cover until it locks into place. K Cleaning the scanner components • If the scanner components are dirty, the documents you send or copy will also be dirty. • Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Note Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning. Caution 1 3 Disconnect the power cord from the fax.
Periodic cleaning Testing and cleaning the BJ cartridge print head __ The print head in the BJ cartridge contains nozzles through which ink is propelled onto the paper. To maintain the best possible print quality, these nozzles need to be cleaned from time to time. Your fax is equipped with a print head cleaning function that does this.
K Cleaning the BJ cartridge print head If your printouts become faint or streaked, or if their quality otherwise deteriorates, print the nozzle check pattern to see if the print head nozzles are operating properly (see p. 9-5). If the pattern is broken or missing, clean the BJ cartridge print head. Note 1 2 • To maintain the best possible print quality, clean the BJ cartridge print head from time to time. • Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink.
Periodic cleaning 3 Raise the cartridge lock lever a on the cartridge holder and remove the BJ cartridge b. 4 Remove the new BJ cartridge from its package, then remove the orange protective cap a and tape b. 1 1 2 2 • Discard the old BJ cartridge immediately according to the local laws and regulations for disposal of consumables. You may want to place it in a plastic bag to keep any residual ink from spilling. • Spilled ink can stain any surface; protect yourself and your work area.
Troubleshooting Paper feeding problems _____________________ o Paper does not load. The multi-purpose tray may contain too many sheets. • Make sure the paper stack in the multi-purpose tray does not exceed the paper limit mark (P) (see p. 1-7). Paper may not be loaded correctly. • Make sure the paper stack is loaded properly in the multi-purpose tray, and that the paper guide is adjusted correctly (see p. 1-8). o Paper is loaded skewed. (Printing is skewed.) Paper may not be loaded correctly.
Troubleshooting Faxing problems ___________________________ Sending problems o You cannot send a document. o Documents sent from the fax are spotted or dirty. The receiving fax machine may not be working properly. • Check the fax by making a copy (see p. 4-1). If the copy is clear, the problem may be in the receiving fax machine. If the copy is spotted or dirty, clean the scanner components (see p. 9-4). The document may not have been loaded correctly into the document tray.
o Cannot send using Error Correction Mode (ECM). The receiving party’s fax machine may not support ECM. • If the receiving party’s fax machine does not support ECM, then the document is sent in normal mode without error checking. ECM may be disabled. • Make sure ECM is on (see ECM TX, p. 8-3). o o Errors occur frequently while sending. The telephone lines may be in poor condition, or you may have a bad connection. • Lower the transmission speed (see TX START SPEED, p. 8-5).
Troubleshooting o The fax does not switch automatically between telephone and fax reception. The fax may not be set to switch automatically between telephone and fax reception. • For the fax to switch automatically, the receive mode must be set to FAX/TEL AUTO SW (Fax/Tel mode) or ANS.MACHINE MODE* (see Chapter 6). If you have set ANS.MACHINE MODE*, check that an answering machine is connected to the fax and that it is turned on with an outgoing message properly recorded (see p. 7-1).
o Fax does not print. The BJ cartridge may not be installed properly. • Make sure the BJ cartridge is installed properly (see p. 1-9). • Be sure to remove the orange protective tape from the BJ cartridge before you install it (see p. 1-10). The BJ cartridge print head may need cleaning. • Clean the BJ cartridge print head if necessary (see p. 9-6). The BJ cartridge may need to be replaced. • Determine if the problem is with the BJ cartridge and replace it if necessary (see p. 9-6).
Troubleshooting Copying problems __________________________ o The fax does not make a copy. The BJ cartridge may need to be replaced. • Determine if the problem is with the BJ cartridge and replace if necessary (see p. 9-6). The document may not have been loaded correctly into the document tray. • Remove the document, stack it if necessary, and load it into the document tray correctly (see p. 3-2). • Make sure the printer cover is closed. The BJ cartridge may not be installed properly.
Print quality problems _______________________ o The print quality is not what you expect; print is not clear, is splashed, has missing dots or white streaks. The paper you are using may not be supported by the fax. • Make sure you are using the recommended paper (see p. 3-3). You may be printing on the wrong side of the paper. • Some papers have a “right” side for printing. If the print quality is not as clear as you would like it to be, try turning the paper over and printing on the other side.
LCD messages The following messages are displayed on the LCD when the fax is performing a function or encounters an error. The error code appears in the activity report (see p. 8-7). Cause Action AUTO REDIAL The fax is waiting to redial the receiving number because the line was busy or the receiving party did not answer when you tried to send the document. Wait for the fax to automatically redial the number.
Message Cause Action CHANGE CARTRIDGE The BJ cartridge is empty. Replace the BJ cartridge (see p. 9-6). The fax will then print automatically any documents received in memory. CHECK DOCUMENT The document is not set in the document tray. Set the document you are trying to send or copy (see p. 3-2) and start again. CHECK PAPER SIZE The size of the paper in the multi-purpose tray and that specified in the PAPER SIZE setting are different.
LCD messages Cause Action CLEAR PAPER JAM There is a paper jam. Clear the paper jam (see p. 9-1) and reload paper in the multipurpose tray. Press [Stop]. DATA ERROR An error has occurred and all one-touch speed dialling, coded speed dialling, and user data have been lost. Press [Start/Copy], then reregister the data (see Chapter 2). DOC. TOO LONG The document is longer than 750 mm. Use a copier to make a reduced copy of the document and then send the copy.
Message Cause Action NO DATA The one-touch speed dialling button or coded speed dialling code you entered has not been registered. Register the one-touch speed dialling button or coded speed dialling code (see pp. 2-10, 2-12). NO OGM The outgoing message has not been recorded. Record an outgoing message (see p. 7-1). REC’D IN MEMORY The fax received the document in memory because paper or ink ran out, a paper jam occurred, or the incorrect BJ cartridge was installed.
In case of a power failure The user data settings and registered data for one-touch speed dialling and coded speed dialling are saved during a power failure using a built-in battery*. However, documents stored in the fax memory will be deleted. If a power failure occurs or the power is turned off, the fax will automatically print a memory clear report as soon as the power is turned on or the power is restored.
