Why am i receiving faxing error 0401 on Epson printer?

This is a fuser unit error, if powering off & on the machine the error doesn't clear then you will need to have the fuser unit replaced.

Fax machines can be set to store documents, print docs or do both. If you set it to only print received faxes, it will try to print and give you some kind of error it if fails (e.g. no paper). Did you get an error? if not it either is set to store and not print, or it didnt store it and you have lost it. From the menus on the Epson, look for where items may be stored e.g. 'store' or 'mailbox' and check if there is any doc in there.

Can I fax using Magic Jack? This is a popular question. They do not support faxes, but the answer is yes. You may need to do some tweaking. However, not much tweaking. First, turn off error correction on your fax machine or program. Then, set the fax machine or program to use the slowest speed available. The slowest speed will ensure a fax goes through. You may increase later to find the highest speed at which a fax can be received.

If you look up your device on Google which will take you to the brand name website. You will find the troubleshooting guide, this will walk you through how to make sure your faxes send and receive without error. You'll have to make sure everything is set up properly.

your computer has to be set to answer the phone so it receives the data and sends it to your printer. unless the data is demodulated via the modem or other demodulating softwarew .. it cannot be printed and or viewed. check your settings in the "printers and faxes area of the control panel to verify proper settings or make any necessary changes.

Ok, here's a check list for you.
