Fax machine only rings but nothing comes through

Set the reception mode to A.M.

Set your answering machine to auto answer.
♦ Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of two rings.
If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialling.
♦ If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that it will
answer by the fourth ring.

Below I've provided a link to your Owner's Manual. Best of luck!

Sharp UX-B700

I have not worked on a sharp ux-117 before, however most sharp fax machines are all alike when it comes to resetting this code. Turn the fax on while holding down the stop and start key don't let go until you see 1 =yes, 2=no for memory clear. press 1=yes. Some of the sharp fax machines have a small white rounded reset button. No guarantee but you have nothing to lose.

you have to select Auto mode of reception for fax machine with the help of receive mode button of fax machine. this setting will set machine for automatic fax reception and you get fax within 2 or 3 rings as set to your machine.

Try this:

Set the fax machine to AUTO reception. Next, you would want to set the proper settings in your Option Set List. To print a list press the FUNCTION key, the number 2 key, then press the # key until it reads OPTION SET LIST in the LCD screen and press the START key. This will print your list. The following settings should be seen: Number of Rings 1 to 4 rings (setting #2) Dial Mode- TONE (setting #8) TAD Connected- OFF (setting #9) * Quiet Detect Time- 04 seconds (setting #10) * Distinctive Ringing- OFF (setting #12) **

Let us know if this doesn''t fix it... we can go from there!
