Errors When I send faxes I often get the error "power failure" How do I correct this

Noise in the phone line, or low signal strength during fax transmission can result in fax failures. Noise or poor signal strength can cause a partial or complete loss of fax information during transmission. When Error Correction Mode (ECM) is on, the receiving fax machine checks the fax information for errors during reception. If the receiving fax machine detects an error, the receiving fax requests that the sending fax resend the information. Resending all or part of the information can make transmission times longer, but helps improve the quality of the received fax.
If the phone line quality or signal strength is extremely poor, sending a fax can fail. Turning off ECM can improve the ability of the product to send a fax successfully when the phone line quality is poor. However, the image quality of the received fax might be poor.
If ECM must be off to send faxes successfully, have the telephone service provider check the phone line quality. For an HP Fax, turning off ECM from the control panel does not necessarily mean that fax transmission will not use ECM. Fax products use ECM as follows.

• All faxes sent in color use ECM.
• All faxes sent at the highest transmission speed use ECM.
• The ECM setting affects only sent faxes, not received faxes.

Enabling or disabling Error correction mode (ECM)

1. On the product control panel, press the Menu button ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons ( ) to select Basic Fax , and then press the OK button ( ).
3. Use the arrow buttons ( ) to select ECM Mode , and then press the OK button ( ).
4. Use the arrow buttons ( ) to select On or Off , and then press the OK button ( ) to confirm the setting.
5. Press the Back button ( ) twice to return to the main screen.

try to disable Error Correction Mode (ECM).
to do so:
Press Menu . Press the Right Arrow (>) until Advanced Fax Setup appears. Press Enter . Press the Right Arrow (>) until Error Correction Mode appears. Press Enter . Press the Right Arrow (>) until Error Correction Mode ON or Error Correction Mode OFF appears. Press Enter . Send another fax to verify that the ECM is enabled or disabled.

is the phone line stable..meaning no distortion ... if there is some distortion like static sound.. you won't be able to fax properly.. try enable to ECM mode in your fax unit.. ECM is error correction mode.. it should reduce the send/rec error...

Error 232 Definition A communication failure occurred between the two machines. The user at the remote machine might have pressed the Stop key. The call waiting service can cause this error. The click, heard for an incoming call, is actually a momentary disconnect of the line. Do not use call waiting on a line with a fax machine. The power at the remote machine was interrupted, or deliberately turned off causing the fax session to be interrupted. Check the following items: Make sure that you have plugged the phone cord directly and securely into the wall jack and into the back port of the fax product. The fax port on your product is marked "Line," "To Wall Jack," or with a wall jack symbol. Make sure the Line Interface Unit (box that the phone cord plugs into) is fully seated into the back of the fax product. Remove any other devices from the line such as splitters, credit card machines, or telephone answering machines. Try sending and receiving faxes on a different fax line. Try using a different telephone cord. Have the phone company test your line for static or noise problems. Turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off, if you encounter the same error repeatedly Solutions If the error persists, and error correction is in use for the fax session, disable ECM. Fax quality might be degraded. Set the host machine to receive at a slower transmission speed. Retry the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve. These errors can occur if the phone lines in the area to be faxed are old or there is noise (static on the phone line). Other reasons can include power brownouts and other power-related problems. If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it. Thanks, Joe

basically error 232 indicates that a communication failure has occurred between the two machines
Following these steps may help resolving your issue

1. Make sure that the phone cord is plugged directly from the wall jack into the back port of the fax machine that is marked "Line" or "To Wall Jack", or that has a wall-jack symbol.
2. Verify that the line interface unit (LIU) (the box that the phone cord plugs into) is seated fully into the back of the fax.
3. Remove any other device from the line such as splitters, credit card machines, or telephone answering machines, and retry the fax communication.
4. Try sending and receiving faxes on a different fax line.
5.Try using a different telephone cord.
6. Have the phone company test your line for static or noise problems.
7. Disable Error Correction Mode (ECM) if the same error occurs repeatedly.

Hope this helps.
thx
