1. INDICATION AND PRINTOUT OF ERROR

To help the user or the service personnel promptly locate the cause of a problem (if any), the
facsimile equipment incorporates the self-diagnostic functions which display error messages
for equipment errors and communications errors.
For the communications errors, the equipment also prints out the transmission verification re-
port and the communications list.

2. EQUIPMENT ERROR

If an equipment error occurs, the facsimile equipment emits an audible alarm (continuous beep-
ing) for approximately 4 seconds and shows the error message on the LCD. For the error
messages, see Section 2.1. As one of the error messages, "MACHINE ERROR xx" includes
an error code which indicates the detailed error causes listed in Section 2.2. To display an error
code for other latest error message, make the equipment enter the maintenance mode and
