    Weird one. Can you elaborate more.
    how does the fax disable all functions?
    Are they any E-codes, Any messages indicating an error.
    Have you checked system monitor to see if those print jobs
    that don't come out are log in print monitor. If so check the error details #xxxx.

        Couple of things to check/confirm... if toner saving option is set to stop printing faxes when toner is low, this will shut you down. These machines are also known for giving false low toner messages. Also, machines can be deadly slow to update control panel screens when a fax comes in. Have had customers complain and replacing control panels/upgrading software did not help. Also, please confirm if machine actually prints fax out or if incoming fax actually gets stuck and machine locks up. Good luck. Please post results.
        The glass maybe half full, but less is more...
        Printer + Fax + Copier = Jack Of Many Trades,
        but Master Of None
        Color Copier = Not A Color Printer
        InkJet MFP = Not A Fax Machine
        B/W Copier = Not A Press
        Finisher = Deal Closer (salesman, not accessory)
        Copier Tech = Admin's Stress Ball (Scapegoat)
