Communications Problems - Muratec MFX-1500 Operating Instructions Manual

Communications problems

Occasionally during transmissions, your fax machine will detect a problem with the
phone line or will encounter some other trouble in transmission or reception. When it
does, it will alert you with an alarm. You can further identify the problem with
displayed messages as well as printed check messages and error reports. In the next
few pages, we'll tell you more about these troubleshooting methods.
Alarm
Your fax machine will sound the alarm tone --- a series of short beeps --- if it suffers
either of these two problems:
• It has trouble transmitting or receiving.
• It runs out of paper.
