THERE
IS
A
POWER
FAILURE
If there is a power failure, the fax machine keeps the
following
data in the memory
:
the numbers set for one-touch and
speed dialling
and
the reports
, while the documents present
in the memory will be lost. The date and time are also lost.
These will have to be reset by carrying out the procedure
described in the “
Setting the date and time
” section of the
“
Delivery contents, setting up and first-time operation
”
chapter.
If the
Display caller ID
function
is enabled
,
the date and
time will be restored when the next call is received
.

PAPER
OR
INK
HAS
RUN
OUT
If, during reception, the
paper runs out
or
gets jammed
,
the
ink runs out
,
the print head compartment cover is open
,
the
paper support is closed
or the
operator console is
raised
, the machine stops printing. The display shows the
relevant message and the document you are receiving is
temporarily recorded
in the memory. Once the problem has
been solved, the fax machine resumes printing.
I
F
TRANSMISSION
IS
UNSUCCESSFUL
Sometimes, due to line problems such as excessively heavy
telephone traffic or any other kind of interference, the
document sent is received badly by the correspondent, who
will ask you to send it to him again.
In these cases, it is advisable to send the document again at
a
slower speed
. The fax machine transmits regularly at a
speed of
14400
bps (
b
its
p
er
s
econd). To reduce the speed,
follow the procedure described in the “
Reducing
transmission speed
” section of the “
More sophisticated
operations
” chapter.
If
transmission
is
unsuccessful
due to errors on the line
or fax machine, the error LED “
” lights up and a short
beep is emitted; in this case, the fax machine automatically
prints the
transmission report
(see “
Printing reports and
lists
”, chapter “
Basic transmission and reception
operations
”), on which an
error code
indicates the cause
of the error (you will find a list of all the error codes further
on).
M
INOR
PROBLEMS
The list below may be used as a guide to the solution of minor
problems.
Note
Incorrect transmission or reception by the fax machine may also
depend on factors other than those listed above, which will be signalled
in the form of
error codes
on the
Transmission report
and
Activity
report
, see “
Printing reports and lists
”, chapter “
Basic
transmission and reception operations
”.
