Hi. Try to open the cover for the scanner bed. You'll see 1 big glass and 1 small strip of glass on the left side. The big glass is used for scanning using the scanner bed. The small strip is used when paper is going through the feeder. Wipe the glasses thoroughly with a soft cloth. Hope it's just a dirt that's causing the problem. Good luck!

Outgoing faxes ok. Faxes received have 2 white lines running down the page.

That issue really sounds like the sender may have issues with their machine. If you can copy correctly, and fax out correctly, it is not your unit.

WE HAVE A FAX MACHINE THAT HAS A BLACK LINE GOING DOWN THE PAGE WITH FAX IN AND FAX OUT

For outgoing fax lines, check your scaner rail for any streaks, dirts or similar and clean scaner.
For incoming fax streaks, you can only check your drum unit for lines on surface and replace it, or lines is there because other side has dirt or similar on their scaner.

Hope that helps!

Faxes are printed with a line running down the

If the line is on the back you need a shop to replace the ink absorber and put in a mylar shield to keep the ink from coming back up on the rollers.

Faxes coming in print fine but outgoing faxes people are saying are coming out blank on their end

If outgoing faxes are turning up blank on the recipients end, you may be putting the paper to be faxed in backwards. Outgoing faxes should be sent face-down. If you are sending properly, either your scanner is failing (test it by copying a document) or the recipient is having fax issues on their end.

If it only happens when you copy or fax, as opposed to 'printing"...clean the scanner glass -both the main glass and the narrow **** glass on the left side.
