hiii
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.

The local machine has originated a fax session and detected a remote fax machine but has been unable to detect any T30 frames. If the machine is in V.17 mode, it is likely the connection has been interrupted. In V.34 mode is also possible for this error to occur due to compatibility problems with certain machines and/or line conditions.

Solution:

1. Reattempt the fax transmission at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved.

2. Disable V.34 on the local machine and attempt the transmission using the V.17 mode. ( See error 227 for changing to a slower speed or disabling V.34 .)

Error 403:
Definition

During a V.34 transmission, the local machine is unable to connect (handshake) with the remote machine and is consequently unable to send a T30 frame. This occurs when the line is disconnected or if line conditions degrade during the session.

Solutions

• Remove any pass-through devices from the phone line, and then try the fax again.
• Confirm that the fax/phone cable is no longer than required, and that it does not pass near unshielded electric motors such as fans, heaters, or household appliances.
• Try to send the fax at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved.

Good Luck

We had the exact same problem. Static on the line. We had the cable company check and sure enough our digital modem for the phone line was bad. The new replacement fixed the problem instantly.
