282 - Retry the transmission.

Please state your make and model. Each make/model has different method of setting.

SOURCE: Error 232 receiving fax

fax error 232 indicates a communication failure between the sending and receiving units. I'd check for line noise on the phone (you can hear it as cracks and pops) If your fax line is not dedicated, any noise from another phone pickup or an answwering machine can cause the failure.

Sam here. Anyone have a solution?? We use a voip setup for phones. Wondering if its related. We have signal converter boxes installed.

SOURCE: fax machine won't send or recieve faxes

press the "on hook" dial key. this should let you hear a dial tone. If you don't hear a dial tone, then it is probably the phone line and not the machine. You may have to call your telephone company.
