My UF7100 fax machine is saying E04-01 and is not recieving faxes. Can anyone tell me what it means?

look up the manual to your specific fax machine. There are different settings and the manual will tell you what to put it on in order to recieve faaxes....good luck!

take the power out and hold the red button in. put the power back

The message means:

407 No confirmation from the receiving station for the
previous page sent.
Wait a few minutes and send again.

This can mean 2 things

1) you have not set your fax machine to recieve faxes

2) you need to have your fax machine serviced because the part that makes it pickup a fax has malfuctioned

Clean all paper paths with paper path cleaner.
Unplug and then after 10 seconds replug the fax machine and do a test recieve for it

If all else fails, you may need to call a service person to repair or replace the broken or defective part that recieves faxes.

Hope this helps :)

press the setup button and scroll down to tools.
in tools there should be an option that says run fax test.
that would give you a printed page as to which part of the hardware of the printer or the fax line failed.

What your error code means is(look below)

Definition

There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise problem might go away over time.

Solution

Retry the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve.

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!

i have a H P 3050 THREE IN ONE AND I CANNOT RECEIVE FAXES I HAVE COMCAST AND HAVE ALL MY SERVICES IN ONE, CABLE, PHONE AND INTERNET. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PLUG THIS IN CORRECTLY

this sounds like may be there is a phone line problem on those two machines or that line is there dial tone??may be you need to have local phone company check this out

You cannot use a four wire cable to connect the fax to the wall. You must use a two wire cable, like the one that came with the machine.  BTW, that means you can't you the EXT port to connect a two line phone or answering machine.

DR mode means that Distinctive Ring is set to on which will force your fax machine to manual receive. Turn DR off and you can set it to whatever mode you want.
