Can't fax from Canon Pixma MX310

I just got this MX310, and absolutely can't get the machine to fax a document. I know I have it connected properly, but keep getting an "incomplete transmission" report.  There is NOTHING in the instructions about faxing at all! HELP!  Thanks!

I spoke to BT, they sugest to put filters on anything which you vconnect, i know that it doesnt make any sense but they said that once youve got broadband connected to your line, all you connect next has to have a separate filters. try it out as i dnt c any other methods. It worked for him by the way!

Hello, I have had the same problem and was on the phone for hours on end with Canon. They wound up sending me a refurbished machine. It still wouldn't fax. I then plugged the phone line into another spot in my house, and Presto!! It worked. I for some reason think that the phone line where the pc is, will not work. I am happy to know that another phone line (within my household) works. Just for the heck of it try it. Good luck!

My machine will send but not receive faxes

Faxes machines are capable sending and receiving data documents. First the sender sends to another machine details providing the return addresses. Requetsing the receive to reply the to the fax also requires providing fax numbers.

I lost my instructions to hook up my printer to my computer i have a canon mx310.. i need to know which phone cord goes into the computer and printer?????

I hope this installation/setup guide will help you [Click Here]. If I am right, you don't need a phone cord to connect the printer and the computer, but a USB cable. If it's in case of Fax, you would need the phone cord to connect the line to the printer/fax machine.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good Luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

The fax maching is neither allowing to receive or send faxes....it keeps putting up a message that says recommend new B-CRT....don't know what that is and it looks to be plugged in properly

Here is a link to Canon for your Pixma MX310 Users Guide. The file needs to be downloaded and then installed. Look under Replacing a Fine cartridge for suggestions to correct this issue.

My canon mx310 is not accepting faxes

What do you mean by its not accepting faxes? Have you correctly set up the printer and do you have your phone line plugged into it? Some printer dont actually act as a fax machine, they tend to provide you with FAX software for your computer which automatically used the printer to simply print the document out when the software has received the fax, i would check first

Canon mx310 feeds paper w/out printing

Normal 0 Could have a corrupt driver.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and when the CD software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

I can send faxes, but not receive them on Canon Pixma mx310

Do you have the phone you are answering with connected through the fax machine? If you have the machine set in 'tel priority' mode, the machine will not begin receiving a fax until you press 'FAX' and the 'color' or 'black' button. Alternatively, if you have your phone connected to the 'telephone' jack on the machine (next to the 'L' jack), you can press '2' and '5' on the telephone keypad to turn the machine on in fax receive mode.
