Make sure that the original
documents are correctly loaded into the automatic document feeder (ADF)
input tray or flatbed scanner (not available with the HP LaserJet 3015

A fax
might be in memory because it is waiting to redial a busy number, other
jobs that are ahead of it are waiting to be sent, or the fax is set up
for a delayed send.
If a fax job is in memory for
any of these reasons, an entry for the job appears in the fax log.

The fax is sent from a Ricoh MP1600 to the HPLJ 3150.
We have no problems with sending from the Ricoh to any other fax. The person with the 3150 says he has no problems receiving from any other fax machine. The HPLJ 3150 is printing the black page with the error indications.
I had the person on the other end (The 3150) send me a fax. I receive it correctly. I then tried to send it back to him and he got a blank page again
Hello Irmatwork
Just to clarify a bit here;
(01) You say this occurs when you send a fax **TO** the HPLJ3150. Do you mean **FROM** the 3150 to another recipient on a different machine?
(02) Or is the recipient who is getting blank faxes the one w/ the HPLJ3150?
(03) If that is the case, what fax machine are you using?
(04) On which fax machine are the logs showing errors?
Please, post back here w/ answers to these questions for clarification and we'll be happy to assist you w/ this issue.
Thank you
BJ @:)
