If you send a PC FAX message and get "RESULT:NG" on the Transmission
Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To gain extra memory,
you can turn off Memory Receive (uuAdvanced User's Guide: Turning off
Memory Receive operations), print fax messages from the machine's memory
(uuAdvanced User's Guide: Printing a fax from the memory), or cancel a Delayed

mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling
and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing
Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Easy Receive to Off.
(See Easy Receive uu page 35.)

factory setting is l 5 1). If you answered on the external telephone (connected to
