How do I fix no answer fax?

When you receive a “Reason: No Answer”, FaxBetter recommends that you:

1. Double-check that the fax number you are attempting to send to is the correct fax number.
2. Call that fax number from a voice line.
3. Wait 24 hours and attempt to resend the fax.

Is a fax sent if there is no answer?

For a fax to transmit, the line needs to be clear so that the fax machines can communicate. If something interrupts the fax call (for example a person picking up a telephone on the same line as the fax) before the faxes start communicating, then “no answer” is the error message.

Do fax machines have to answer?

Most fax machines, fax software, and fax services will automatically answer a call after 2 or 3 rings. When a fax machine needs to be manually answered, someone needs to be at the receiving fax machine when the line rings and press “start” or “receive fax” (or some variation) to start receiving the fax.

How do I troubleshoot a fax line problem?

Fax Troubleshooting

1. Make sure your fax machine is connected to the phone line. There is a phone cord that connects the fax machine to a phone jack in the house and this is how it sends data to other fax machines.
2. Check for dial tone.
3. Check for interference.

Why isn’t my fax working?

If your business’ fax machine has trouble sending or receiving faxes, a possible source of the problem is the phone line itself. Fax machines require a connection that is free from static and line noise to connect. Poor quality connections will prevent the fax machine from working properly, if at all.

What does poor line condition on a fax mean?

The message “Poor Line Condition” or “NG” appears on the Transmission Verification Report when I try to send a fax. These messages are generally caused by either interference on the line, phone line connection and/or an alarm system or another device on same line as the Brother machine.

Why will my fax not go through?
