Suggestions
Turn off the machine's power switch and then turn it on again. If the error
message continues leave the machine for several minutes and then try it
again. (The machine can be turned off for up to 4 days without losing faxes
stored in the memory.)
Check the settings in your application to make sure it is set up to work with
your machine.
If you are using the parallel port connection, check that the port is BRMFC and
not LPT1.
Your computer is not recognizing the machine's input buffer full signal. Make sure
that you connect the interface cable correctly. (See the Quick Setup Guide.)
Reduce the printing resolution. (See Advanced tab in the Software User's
Guide on the CD-ROM.)
Reduce the complexity of your document and try again. Reduce the graphic
quality or the number of font sizes within your application.
Add more memory. See Installing extra memory on page 94.
There is an unprintable area on the top and bottom of the page. Adjust the top and
bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
Check the paper size setting in the printer driver. You need to select A4, Letter,
Legal or Folio.
Press Job Cancel. As the machine cancels the job and clears it from the memory
it may produce an incomplete printout. Try to print again.
