Power Failures and Memory
If power to your fax machine is interrupted, the problems listed below will occur.
!You can prevent these problems by installing an optional memory expansion board with a battery back-
up system that protects stored information for at least one hour.
Information that is Lost
•Any messages your fax machine has scanned into its memory but not yet transmitted will be lost. This includes messages stored for bulletin polling.
•Any messages your fax machine has received into its memory but not yet printed will be lost.
•If you have loaded documents on your fax machine’s document feeder, any dialing or transmission settings will be lost.
•Redial information is lost.
Power Outage Report
When power is restored, your fax machine prints a power outage report to inform you of the power failure. Use this report to determine which received messages you may have lost, and to determine which transmissions you may have to resend.
Refer to “Reports, Power Outage Report.”
!Keep in mind that when the additional paper sizes (executive, A5, A6, and JISB5) are selected (these are
available when the MFP option is installed), power outage reports do not print. The power outage reports are the only notification that power to the fax machine has been disrupted.
