Receiving Faxes CHAPTER This chapter describes the different ways to receive faxes. Receiving Faxes ............4-2 Receiving Faxes While Performing Operations .
Receiving Faxes You can receive fax documents automatically. Receiving Faxes While Performing Operations The machine can receive faxes while it is performing other operations. If you receive a fax while the machine is performing certain operations, the machine stores the incoming fax in memory, and the fax document is printed as soon as the machine completes the current operation.
The memory can hold up to 95 send or receive jobs, or approximately 1,000 pages of sent and received documents. - Based on the condition that the sender sends the fax by the imageRUNNER 2020/2016 with ITU-T No.1 Chart standard mode. The maximum number of pages that the machine’s memory can store varies depending on the sender’s machine.
Page 114
When document reception is complete, the Processing/Data indicator on the control panel maintains a steady green light. This indicates that documents are stored in memory. NOTE • If the machine is in the Energy Saver mode, it resumes normal operation when it begins receiving a document, and the Processing/Data indicator lights or flashes.
Paper Drawer Selection You can set how the machine prints documents when there is no paper matching the size of the received document. There are four printing methods. (SWITCH A, B, C, and D). • SWITCH A: The image is printed over two sheets of paper that have the same combined size as the received document.
Page 116
• SWITCH C: The image is reduced and printed on paper that differs in width from the received document. Received Data (Original) Output LTRR 11'' × 17'' • SWITCH D: The image is printed on paper that is larger in size than the received document.

LCD Messages This section explains the various messages that appear on the LCD display, along with possible causes and remedies. This section describes messages related to the FAX function. For explanations of messages that are not listed here, see Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting,” in the Reference Guide.
Page 185
DOCUMENT TOO LONG Cause The original is longer than 630 mm, or it is not feeding correctly. Remedy Make sure that the original is an acceptable size and type before you send it. (See “Placing Originals,” on p. 1-34.) MEM IN USE nn % Cause Shows the percentage of the memory currently in use.
Page 186
NOT AVAILABLE NOW Cause 1 A key/code registered for group dialing is specified as a destination when the telephone line is open. Remedy Specify a key/code other than the one registered for group dialing. Cause 2 The registered group is already nested for three levels of subgroups (i.e., a group registered in a group in a group in a group).
Page 187
RECEIVED IN MEMORY Cause 1 The machine received the fax in memory because paper ran out. Remedy Load paper in the Paper Drawer. (See Chapter 7, “Routine Maintenance,” in the Reference Guide.) Cause 2 The machine received the fax in memory because the size of the document is not supported by the machine.
Error Codes Errors in reports are recorded as error code numbers because there is not enough space to print a detailed description of the error in the report. When errors are recorded in reports, note the error code number, and check it against the table below to learn more about what caused the error and how to remedy it.
Page 189
#0005 Cause 1 No reply is received from the recipient’s fax machine. Remedy Try sending again. Cause 2 The recipient is not using a G3 fax machine. Remedy Contact the recipient. #0009 Cause There is no paper or the paper drawer is not inserted correctly into the machine. Remedy Load paper or insert the paper drawer correctly into the machine.
Page 190
#0059 Cause Your transmission has been canceled because the number you dialed was different from the number registered on the recipient’s fax machine. Remedy 1 Check to see that the correct fax/telephone number is registered on the recipient’s fax machine. Or, set your <SYSTEM SETTINGS> not to confirm the other party’s number.
Faxing Problems Sending Problems Your document is not sent after you place your originals and dial the recipient’s fax/telephone number. Cause 1 Is the machine overheated? Remedy Press the main power switch to OFF (“O” side) and wait approximately 5 minutes.
Page 192
Cause 6 Is the original placed correctly? Remedy Remove the original, align the edges if necessary, and place it on the platen glass or into the feeder correctly. (See “Placing Originals,” on p. 1-34.) Cause 7 Is the one-touch speed dialing key or coded speed dialing code you registered for the feature you want to use? Remedy Check the one-touch speed dialing key or coded speed dialing code and make...
Page 193
Cause 13 Is the receiving fax machine a G3 fax machine? Remedy Make sure the receiving fax machine is compatible with your machine (which is a G3 fax machine). Cause 14 The recipient’s telephone may be busy or their fax machine may be turned off. Print an Error TX report and check to see if BUSY/NO SIGNAL is shown on the report.
Page 194
Faxes sent from this machine are spotted or dirty. Cause 1 Is your fax machine working properly? Remedy Check the machine by making a copy. (For more information, see Chapter 1, “Basic Copying Features,” in the Copying Guide.) If the copy is clear, the problem may be in the receiving fax machine. If the copy is spotted or dirty, clean the platen glass, the feeder scan area, and the read area of the platen glass.
Page 195
Part of the document you sent to the recipient is cut off. Cause Was your original placed with the correct orientation? Remedy Place your document in the correct orientation and try sending again. The documents you sent are too light. Cause 1 Is the density set to <LT>? Remedy...
Errors occur frequently while sending. Cause Is the telephone line in proper condition? Do you have a good telephone line connection? Remedy Lower the transmission speed. (See “Setting the Send/Receive Start Speed,” on p. 7-2.) Receiving Problems Part of the received documents are cut off. Cause 1 If you are feeding paper from the stack bypass to print received documents, are the slide guides in the stack bypass set to the correct paper size?
Page 197
The documents you receive are of poor quality. Cause 1 Is your toner cartridge running low on toner? Remedy Remove your toner cartridge and gently tilt it from side to side five or six times to redistribute the remaining toner. If this does not solve the problem, replace the toner cartridge.
Page 198
Received faxes do not print. Cause 1 Is the toner cartridge installed properly? Remedy Make sure that the toner cartridge is installed properly. (See Chapter 7, “Routine Maintenance,” in the Reference Guide.) Cause 2 Is the sealing tape still on the toner cartridge? Remedy Remove the sealing tape from the toner cartridge.
Page 199
Received fax images are smudged or uneven. Cause 1 Is the telephone line in proper condition? Do you have a good telephone line connection? Remedy ECM (Error Correction Mode) for sending/receiving should eliminate such problems. However, if the telephone line is in poor condition, you may have to call the sender to resend the document.
Page 200
You cannot receive fax documents from information services. Cause 1 Is your machine set for tone dialing? Remedy Press (Tone) to set the dialing type to <TONE>. Cause 2 Did you receive instructions from the sender, such as to set your machine to receive? Remedy Press...
If a Loss of Power Occurs If power is suddenly lost due to an outage or accidental unplugging, a built-in backup battery retains the user data settings and the speed dialing settings. Any documents stored in memory are retained in the machine for about 60 minutes as long as the battery is fully charged at the time of the power cut.
