“Check Message” printouts
When a fax call goes awry and your machine detects an error, it produces 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 previous page)
The phone number (or, perhaps, TTI) of the fax machine with which your
machine had attempted to communicate
