Canon IrC2020 Adv. not recieving FAX (not answering)

[JPiek]

Hi Guys,

This time no printing problem, just a fax problem:

Customer would like to use the 2020 to send and recieve faxes. They never used the function before, alltough the 2020 has a faxboard since install.
Sending a fax works without problems, but it doen's recieve faxes. I don't "see" the ringsignal coming in, i don't even hear it. When connecting a standard faxmachine, recieve works so the line is ok.

Tried a 2 wire phonecable in stead of a 4 wire, no go. Checked all the settings (customer has been fiddeling with it), no go...

Canon said it might be a setting in servicemode (SSW - SW04, second from the right should be 1 insead of 0 ?) but no one has ever been there in servicemode.

Any way to check what's wrong ? I don't hear a ring on the machine, so i don't even know where to begin to troubleshoot. And when i call the number manually, it just keeps ringing, it's never answered...

I'v had my share of probs. with the 202, but never ever had to do troubleshooting on the Fax...

Have you set the country in service mode? occasionally not doing this causes the problem you are having

Service Mode (level 1) > FAX > TYPE > TYPE

Will this clear out the customers address book, email addresses etc? I have a customer with an Adv C2030 they just purchased used. It had a message saying something about RX would be forwarded to an email (a setting for previous owner). We cleared out the email address under forwarding rules but it still just rings if someone tries to fax them. They can send faxes fine. Unfortunately, they already added all their addresses etc so I don't want to do a reset to factory settings but not sure what else to check.
