F THERE IS A POWER FAILURE
If there is a power failure, the fax machine keeps the following
data in the memory: the numbers set for one-touch and
speed dialling and the reports, while the documents present
in the memory will be lost. The date and time are also lost.
These will have to be reset by carrying out the procedure
described in the "Setting the date and time" section of the
"Delivery contents, setting up and first-time operation"
chapter.
If the Display caller ID function is enabled, the date and
time will be restored when the next call is received.
I
F PAPER OR INK HAS RUN OUT
If, during reception, the paper runs out or gets jammed, the
ink runs out, the print head compartment cover is open,
the paper support is closed or the operator console is
raised, the machine stops printing. The display shows the
relevant message and the document you are receiving is
temporarily recorded in the memory. Once the problem has
been solved, the fax machine resumes printing.
I
F TRANSMISSION IS UNSUCCESSFUL
Sometimes, due to line problems such as excessively heavy
telephone traffic or any other kind of interference, the
document sent is received badly by the correspondent, who
will ask you to send it to him again.
In these cases, it is advisable to send the document again at
a slower speed. The fax machine transmits regularly at a
speed of 14400 bps (bits per second). To reduce the speed,
follow the procedure described in the "Reducing
transmission speed" section of the "More sophisticated
operations" chapter.
If transmission is unsuccessful due to errors on the line
or fax machine, the error LED "
beep is emitted; in this case, the fax machine automatically
prints the transmission report (see "Printing reports and
lists", chapter "Basic transmission and reception
operations"), on which an error code indicates the cause
of the error (you will find a list of all the error codes further
on).
