No parallel or
USB port is
available, or the
parallel or USB
port is being
shared by
another device.

The product might need to be directly
connected to the computer’s parallel or
USB port. It might not be able to share the
parallel port with another device.

If you have a device such as an external
disk drive or switch box connected to the
parallel or USB port, try unhooking it and
connecting the product directly to the
computer parallel or USB port. If it works
and you want to continue using both
devices, you must use two parallel or USB
ports on your computer.

settings are not correct.

Print a configuration report (see “Printing
a configuration report” on page 48) and
check when the reports print. See “Setting
when the fax call report prints” on page 45
and “Setting the fax activity log to print
automatically” on page 44 to change
the
settings.

The volume for

product is too
high or too low.

The volume setting needs to be adjusted. See “Changing sound volume” on

page 39 for instructions about changing
volume settings.
