“Check Message” printouts

When there’s a problem with a fax call and your machine detects an error, it pro- duces an error printout headed by the words “Check Message.” This printout lists the following information about the transmission:

•The resulting error code

•A communications error message (see “What error messages can mean,” below)

•The phone number (or TTI, if programmed) of the fax machine with which your machine had attempted to communicate.
