Solve fax problems

This section contains fax setup troubleshooting information for the device. If the device
is not set up properly for faxing, you might experience problems when sending faxes,
receiving faxes, or both.
If you are having faxing problems, you can print a fax test report to check the status of
the device. The test will fail if the device is not set up properly for faxing. Perform this test
after you have completed setting up the device for faxing. For more information, see
