ROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE HAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A POWER FAILURE If there is a power failure, the fax machine keeps the follow- ing 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.
RROR CODES The error codes printed both on the transmission report and the activity report consist of two digits indicating the cause of the error. To save space, the two-digit code without any message is printed on the activity report. CODE MESSAGE No message.
IGNALS AND MESSAGES Any problems that may arise are generally indicated by acoustic signals (accompanied, in some cases, by visual signals : error LED " " indicator on) or by error messages on the display. The fax machine also emits acoustic signals and shows mes- sages on the display, which do not indicate an error condition.
Reception continues in the memory because an error occurred dur- ing the reception of a document, preventing it from being printed: check the type of fault on the lower line of the display and correct it. A fatal error has occurred on the fax machine: turn the fax machine off and then on again.

The multifunctional model can be connected to a Personal Computer on which specific communication software (LinkFax Pro) has been installed. It will operate as a black & white and color graphic printer: documents such as letters, drawings or spreadsheets, created with standard Windows applications, can thus be printed on the fax machine.
If you have not installed any e-mail application with a Simple MAPI interface, the Internet LinkFax icon will not appear at the bottom of the screen. In addition, whenever the system is restarted, a message will appear to inform you that there is no e-mail application installed.
