CAnnot get a fax to go through. the receiving fax is answering, but the document fails to be received.

You can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the Auto Answer option, you must receive faxes manually.

NOTE: If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the
device memory until the copying finishes. This can reduce the number of fax pages stored in memory.

As a first thing to try, with most faxes that send but do not receive, it's usually down to a glitch.

Try shutting the bizhub down fully, then unplugging it physically from the power source for at least 30 seconds. Plug it back in and turn the unit back on, then have someone try and send you a fax.

If this does not remedy your problem, please indicate with a follow-up comment.
