Errors

When sending faxes, your machine occasionally will run into communications errors.
These can be caused by anything from lightning to telephone line interference.
(These same factors cause the static, or line noise, you sometimes hear on phone
calls.) They also can be caused by problems with the fax machine at the other end of
the line.
Often, simply trying your call again is all that's necessary. However, if the problem
persists regularly, call your local telephone company for help. If that call doesn't help
and the problem persists regularly, call your authorized Muratec dealer or call the
Muratec Customer Support Center at (972) 364-3350.

Error reports

When an error occurs, your fax machine prints an error report. Each fax error
report lists an error message which includes:
• A possible solution to the problem
• The sending location (if the remote fax stores a Location
• The result — which is a special error code.
• A sample of the document's first page.
