MP830 Canon Faxing problem

Hi. Have you try sending fax to other number maybe the problem is the receiver in the other side of the line .

did u try to do a hard reset to clear this error?

if nt try it please

You only hit hook to hear the dial tone or use the machine like a speaker phone. To send a fax you press fax start. If you can't hear a dial tone when you press hook, there is something wrong with the phone line connection, or it's plugged in to the wrong plug on the machine. The phone line goes into the one marked with an L, the other with the pic. of a phone is for an additional telephone.

At the end of the each day,press funcktion and then report,select activity report and press "ok"
This is the only way the activaty report can be printed at a spesific time.If you switch the report on in the report settings it will only print when the memory is near full.The other way is to switch TX report to on in report settings,but the you will get a report after every fax that you sent.

It sounds like the modem is bad a possible electric serge

hi!i got the manual for you, its here
hope it helps!

call the other fax machine with a cell phone, listen for fax tones.
plug a regular phone in the jack to check for a dial tone.
make sure phone cord is plugged into the LINE port of yhe fax machine.

those noises you hear are line noises via your phone line, not machine related but they wreak havoc on faxing. first you need to replace the actual line connecting the fax machine to the wall. If this doesn't fix the problem then have your phone lines tested. also make sure your machine is set for digital or analog service, depending on which you have. Good Luck.

To print a TX (transmission) report after each fax sent:

1. Press the Copy button if that light is not already lit
2. Press the Menu button
3. Press the Right arrow to get to "Maintenance / settings"
4. Press the OK button
5. Press the Right arrow to get to "Device settings"
6. Press the OK button
7. (You should be at FAX SETTINGS) Press the OK button again
8. Press the down arrow to get to "TX settings"
9. Press the OK button
10. Press the down arrow to get to "TX report"
11. Press the OK button
11. Press the down arrow to get to "Print for each TX"
12. Press the OK button
(You can have the machine print the first page of the fax with the report if desired)
13. Press Stop / Reset

Solution #3 solved it for me. The report kept printing over and over, so I used the menus (roughly) mentioned in Soluton #3 by guest.

My problem was the printer was trying to print the TX Error Report with the image attached. That made the report too big for standard sized paper, so the machine kept telling me to check the paper size, and I'd hit 'OK', and that made the machine try to print the report again, for it continued to think it had not printed a complete report.

Here's what I did...

Go to: Fax Menu
Arrow right ( >) to Maintenance/Settings, hit, 'OK'
Arrow right to (>) to Device Settings, hit 'OK',
Fax Settings, hit 'OK',
Arrow down ( v ) to TX Settings, hit 'OK',
Arrow down ( v ) to TX Report, OK
Select 'Print error only', hit 'OK',
Attach TX image, Select 'NO', hit 'OK"

With the instruction to not attach the TX image, it will print out the error report without the TX image, the report will fit on the paper, and it will clear this problem.

Good luck!
