Troubleshooting

Fax Troubleshooting

Show / Hide

If you are having troubles with your fax machine sending or receiving faxes here are some things you can try:

Make sure your fax machine is connected to the phone line

There is a phone cord that connects the fax machine to a phone jack in the house and this is how it sends data to other fax machines.

It is possible the cord has come loose or completely unplugged. It seems simple, but this tip solves most communication error issues.

Check for dial tone

Even if the machine is plugged into a phone jack, you may not be receiving dial tone.

You can test this by lifting the handset from the fax machine if equipped, or plugging a known working phone into the phone jack your fax machine is plugged into.

If you are not getting dialtone, follow the troubleshooting steps in the “No Dialtone” section on this site to try to re-establish dialtone.

Check for interference

It is possible that other devices are interfering with the sending or receiving of your faxes.

Common culprits are splitters, power bars, bad DSL filters, and bad phone devices.

Try unplugging or bypassing these devices in the house one at a time to see if the problem clears.

No Dial Tone?

Show / Hide
  1. Checked that all phones are on-hook
  2. Make sure that both ends of the phone cord are plugged in and secure (they will click into the phone socket when connected)
  3. Ensure the phone cord isn’t cracked, worn or damaged
  4. Make sure if you are using cordless phones that the phone base has power and phones are properly being charged.
  5. Try another phone jack in the house
  6. Try unplugging all devices from the phone jacks except for one. This ensures no other equipment in the house is causing a problem. Try each phone separately to isolate a faulty device.
