Can't recieve or send fax - Lexmark X4270 All-In-One Printer

Check your Ink cartridge if it is fully empty means it will not print received faxes so it will save in memory

Use the fax to make a copy if the copy is bad the fax you send will be bad.

Be sure the fax is on the proper phone line. You can send on any line but you can only recieve on the line for your number.

Try to "slow" down the fax "speed"

sending fax is free, however you have to have a dedicated fax line with your phone company to recieve.

Most likely the machine has been set to "manual receive" from either "fax/tel" or "automatic" receive. check your manual to check/ change the setting.

The machine is set with the sleep mode as a default. The fax part can be changed to recieve a fax by pressing the fax mode button. Press it until it says Fax only, not F/T. F/T means Fax/Telephone. This mode would make it to where you have to pick up the reciever and press start when a fax comes in. The Fax only mode means it will pick up everytime a fax comes in automatically. Let me know if this was helpful. Please give my helping a rating. Thanks!

check the phone line with a regular phone.
