Canon will not receive faxes or copy documents

Check the baud rate of your transmissions. Slow them down to the slowest setting and send a test fax to a helpful person. Slowly increase the baud rate (communication data speed) and send the fax test. When the fax doesn't show up on the receive site, then step one baud rate speed back, and save the setting.

It could also be your fax that is faulty, or even the receive sites fax, also being faulty.

To test your copy-head, insert a document into your loading section of the fax and press copy. If the copy prints out fine, then you know the head is reading correctly.

It is also possible that the receiver fax (the other end) has a printhead failure.

Make sure you cartridges are not empty and properly installed. Also make sure the paper is properly installed.
Thanks,

Its a problem with scaner unit. Reports are being printed out, and do not pass trough scaner, because of thath report is Ok.

If the fax is still under warranty, go to warranty provider service.

Next time dont buy "kids toy" for fax machine. Try laser Canon Fax L140.

Try this step ... found it on Canon's website

Issue: ERROR LCD: WAITING FOR REPORT
Solution: Set [AUTO PRINT RX] to ON (MX300 / MX310)

AUTO PRINT RX When [AUTO PRINT RX] is set to [OFF], incoming received faxes will be temporarily stored to memory and transaction reports (TX, RX and Activity) remain in memory. The default setting is [ON], which means incoming received faxes and transaction reports will automatically print. The fax machine will not automatically print a received fax and will store it in memory in the following conditions.

• Ink is low or has run out
• The paper size and type is not set correctly
• Paper has run out
• The Output Tray is closed

To set AUTO PRINT to ON, please follow these steps.

1. Press the <FAX> button to enter the Fax menu.
   
   
2. Press the <Menu> button. [FAX SETTINGS] is displayed
   
   
3. Press the left or right arrow button to select [RX SETTINGS] , then press <OK> two times.
   
   
4. Press the left arrow to select [ON], then press <OK>.
   
   Note: When AUTO PRINT RX is set ON, a sub-menu will appear to PRINT WHEN NO INK.
   
   
5. At sub-menu PRINT WHEN NO INK, decide if you'd like the machine to continue to print incoming received faxes if ink is low.
   
   CAUTION: When this option is set ON, the fax machine will not monitor the ink level of the ink cartridges. If ink is low or out, received faxes will print with streaks or blank. Furthermore, once the fax is printed, it will be deleted from memory.
   
   1. To print received faxes when ink is low or out, press the left or right arrow to select [ON] and then press <OK>.

Rx Report is reception report for documents that have been received.
Tx Report is a report (confirmation) of faxes sent (transmitted)

With red button stop the copy, or switch off and on.

If you print on this unit make sure that you did choose a right format of paper (A4,A5,...)

You can change the format ap printer properties or preferences

First check to see if all 5 are bing sent. Sometimes paper sticks to each other and you may only see 1 or 2. Also your telphone line has a lot to do with it. If you are using a digital telephone line with your internet line such as a vontage telephone, the signal is takene from your internet line for your telephone and sometimes such as when you are on the internet and trying to fax, you do not have enough signal strength. sometimes sutting off the internet works. Also what does the report say from your copier/fax are 5 pages being sent. In the set up this Canon you can get a report after you send a fax....

Try to press te System Monitor Button and scroll using the > to Print Status. If there is a print job in there press ok the < to cancel the print job. You may want to check the other status windows in case it is a Fax or Copy job instead of a print job.
