Error message 'LINE ERROR" WHILE SENDING A FAX

Kodak Fax keep saying line busy

Noise in the phone line, or low signal strength during fax transmission can result in fax failures. Noise or poor signal strength can cause a partial or complete loss of fax information during transmission. When Error Correction Mode (ECM) is on, the receiving fax machine checks the fax information for errors during reception. If the receiving fax machine detects an error, the receiving fax requests that the sending fax resend the information. Resending all or part of the information can make transmission times longer, but helps improve the quality of the received fax.
If the phone line quality or signal strength is extremely poor, sending a fax can fail. Turning off ECM can improve the ability of the product to send a fax successfully when the phone line quality is poor. However, the image quality of the received fax might be poor.
If ECM must be off to send faxes successfully, have the telephone service provider check the phone line quality. For an HP Fax, turning off ECM from the control panel does not necessarily mean that fax transmission will not use ECM. Fax products use ECM as follows.

• All faxes sent in color use ECM.
• All faxes sent at the highest transmission speed use ECM.
• The ECM setting affects only sent faxes, not received faxes.

Enabling or disabling Error correction mode (ECM)

1. On the product control panel, press the Menu button ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons ( ) to select Basic Fax , and then press the OK button ( ).
3. Use the arrow buttons ( ) to select ECM Mode , and then press the OK button ( ).
4. Use the arrow buttons ( ) to select On or Off , and then press the OK button ( ) to confirm the setting.
5. Press the Back button ( ) twice to return to the main screen.

This error indicates that the receiving machine (receiver) cannot receive the fax you just sent. The reasons might be unexpected shutdown of the machine (Receiver's machine) just before it completely received [or partially printed] the file you had sent or power failure during the process.
Another reason is, when we send color fax from Hp machine to another Machine (non-hp), this happens due to incompatibility issue.
Solutions are;
1. Restart both the machine after deleting the recently sent/received fax.
2. Send black and white only, not color.
3. Try again after the phone line seems not much busy which means when there's better transmission capability.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

1. Usually a "fax send report" just means that you will not receive a "receipt" or "confirmation" that the fax was successfully sent. Changing the setting to off is pretty much just saving you ink & paper. When my fax machine report is set to off, I only receive a receipt if the fax was unsuccessful. However, all fax machines are different and have a mind of their own...so your best bet it to refer to the owner's manual or call the company where it came from.

2. The only thing I can think of is maybe you need to replace the plexi-glass on the copier or do an internal wipe of the underside of the glass. Sometimes the ink can smear from underneath when faxed papers get jammed or printed.

well this error generally arises when there is too much of disturbance in the line.It may going away with time.And if it doesn't then u must retry the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve.

I would guess the other machine or possibly your machine is hooked to a DSL or some other DIGITAL phone line.

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.

Some basic troubleshooting tips are listed below to help determine the cause.
Check the following items :

1
Ensure the phone cord is plugged directly from the wall jack, into the back port of the fax machine marked "Line", "To Wall Jack", or with a wall jack symbol

2
Remove any other device from the line such as splitters, credit card machines, or telephone answering machines and retry.

3
Turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off ,
For turning off ECM > press set up > press ok >go to advanced fax set up by using the arrow key > press ok > press arrow key go to OFF > press ok .

After these steps > try to send a fax to undermentioned number , once it is sent u will recieve a confirmatory fax in return as well .

self confirmatory no for fax 1 888 473 2963 .

or u can try to send a fax to a different local number as well.

Thanks

you need to watch during ringing period need to click ok or press what ever message says.

When the last page of your document has been sent successfully, the machine beeps and returns to Standby mode. When something goes wrong while sending your fax, an error message appears on the display. If you receive an error message, press Stop/Clear to clear the message and try to send the document again. You can set your machine to print a confirmation report automatically each time sending a fax is completed. If you get the error message write it down it should always supply an error message if the fax did not go through.
