Fax Machine Repair Service

1. The Problems Could Be Quite Simple

Fax machine is an important device for home and office. It is not uncommon to face issues with your fax machines from time to time that could be a sign of concern. However, it is not necessary that you have to rush to a professional every time an issue arises. In most of the cases, the problem could be quite simple and could be easily solved by checking the cord, lamp, toner or cleaning the interior. The problems could be promptly solved.

2. The Fax Machine Does Send Or Receive Signals

This could be due to some issues with your modem or telephone line. The connection between these two may be disconnected. In this case try connecting another standard phone line into your fax machine and listen for a dial tone. If it is not working, contact your telephone service provider and ask for the problem to be diagnosed and solved. You should also make sure that the electrical cord that is connecting your fax machine to the power supply is properly plugged in or not. If not then plug it in properly.

3. Fax Machine only Receives

In this case, check if the exposure lamp is ok or not. Fax machine uses light source to convert an image to an electrical signal. If the lamp is damaged or burned out, the device will only be able to receive signals but not send them.

Spilled toner or accumulation of dirt and debris inside the front panel might cause such issue. To prevent such issue, always clean the spills thoroughly after refilling the cartridges, every time. You should use clean and non-abrasive clothes to wipe away all the dirt and debris from the inner panel of your fax machine.
