- Hi Israel,
The fax machine's user guide is also a good source of information. You can often find a copy of the user guide online. Just do a Google search for "[brand name and model number] fax machine user guide."
I am having same issue.. my phone works dial tone but when i connect fax machine i have nothing. I need this for my home office and need assistance.
- Have you checked the recommended setup in your fax machines user guide? If you are using a phone modem, you may need to reset it when you switch the cord out from your phone to your modem.
The instructions I gave should work. If they don't then there is either human error, or something wrong with the fax machine. To isolate, please try to describe what model fax and phone modem you have, and how they are connected together. Remember, you don't want to connect into a phone jack, but the jack on the back of the phone modem to rule as many issues out.
