Communications problems

Occasionally during transmissions, your fax machine will detect a problem with the phone line or will encounter some other trouble in transmission or reception. When it does, it will alert you with an alarm. You can further identify the problem with displayed messages as well as printed check messages and error reports. In the next few pages, we’ll tell you more about these troubleshooting methods.

Alarm

Your fax machine will sound the alarm tone --- a series of short beeps --- if it suffers either of these two problems:

∙It has trouble transmitting or receiving.

∙It runs out of paper.
