Cannot Receive a Fax

Troubleshoot by checking the following steps when [Cannot print RX data.] is displayed on the screen:

Step 1: Checking the Remaining Amount of Toner in the Toner Cartridges

If the remaining amount of toner in the toner cartridge is low, the received data may be saved to the memory of the machine without being printed to prevent printing text that is difficult to read or images that are difficult to see.
Check the remaining amount of toner in the toner cartridge. Replace the toner cartridge if the remaining amount is low.

To print the received data even when the amount of toner in the toner cartridges is low, enable [Continue Printing When Amount in Cartridge Is Low].

On the control panel, select [Menu] in the [Home] screen, and then select [Function Settings] to configure the settings. [Continue Print. When Amount in Cart. Low]
* When this setting is enabled, the print result may be light or faded. The received data is not saved to the memory, so if the printed content is illegible, you may have to request the sender to send the data again.
