Fax machines are important to any business owner who wants to communicate via fax instead of sending a document by postal mail. It saves time and money for the business. So when a fax machine is not working, it puts the business owner's productivity in jeopardy. Fixing the machine is often cheaper than replacing it.
Take the cover off the fax machine to get inside of it. Use a clean cloth to clean out any dust or particles that may have dropped inside. You will know if this is the problem when your faxes come out with marks on the paper.
Examine the plug or chord to make sure that the fax machine is plugged in correctly. Test the fax machine by trying to send a test fax. If that does not work, plug the fax machine into another outlet. If you use a surge protector, make sure that it is on.
Check to see if the ink cartridge in the fax machine is working properly. If you are seeing ink marks on your faxes or copy, it means that you need to replace the cartridge. Purchase a new cartridge and install it.
Check to see if the fax machine is properly connected to the telephone line and that there is a dial tone. This may be the cause of not being able to receive or send any faxes. Find out if the phone is giving you a dial tone. If not, call the phone company to send out a technician.
Take the fax machine to an office equipment service center to have a technician look at it. If it is new, return it to the store.
