¦If the paper runs out or if the BJ cartridge runs out of ink, the fax receives the rest of the document in memory.

¦To stop receiving before the document is complete, press [STOP].

¦If an error message appears on the LCD, make sure the error is corrected and then press [STOP]. If necessary, see Frequently Asked Questions, p. 104.

¦The fax beeps once to show that the document was received. If an error occurs, the fax beeps intermittently for a few seconds. If this happens, contact the other party and have them resend the document.
