I can receive faxes but when I send them they are illegible.

This article in the Lexmark website on How to Configure the Lexmark X7170 to Receive Faxes might help resolve your problem receiving faxes. Thanks.

Here's the link to download the Lexmark X7170 User's Guide: http://bit.ly/c8EHEn. Go to Faxing for the instructions on how to go through the settings on the printer. For setting the printer to ring to answer at 0, set it to pickup on the 1st ring. To turn off the distinctive ring, set the ring pattern to any. Hope this helps.

Check your phone line by plugging in a spare telephone handset and listen for the dial tone.

Lift the document feeder and clean the small exposure glass located to the left of the main exposure glass.There must be some alien substance on it like glue,ink or correction fluid.Any mark on this small exposure glass will cause lines to appear on transmitted faxes.

The printe will not scan or print. When I fax documents it is recieved witha balck shadow in teh background. I get error 2200 when I try to print or scan.

This print defect can be caused by a foreign object or substance on the outside of the scanner assembly, usually located on the plastic cover that the paper passes over.

There are sensors in the document feeder that detect the width and length of the paper being copied or faxed. Try getting a can of compressed air and go nuts blowing all the dust out of the feeder, if you spray everything you can get to, you will probably blow clean the sensors. Just an educated guess.
Good luck,

We are having the same problem. I can hear it dial, but when the receiver fax picks up, there is no signal from the Lexmark to let the receiver know that we are sending. All we need is one stupid "BEEP"! So much for plug-and-play.

i have read the manual end to end and I don't think you can.
Only thing I see is this.

Sending a fax by DSL requires one of two methods: 1. You obtain a DSL line filter suitable for connecting a standard voice telephone to the DSL line, then connect an analog fax modem to the line through the line filter. 2. You hire an Internet E-faxing service. See · http://www.slipstick.com/addins/services/fax.htm#internetfax · http://www.slipstick.com/addins/services/fax.htm · http://www.savetz.com/fax Tim
