Messages in Memory and Power Losses

A battery in your fax machine prevents the loss of data stored in memory at the time of a power outage.

Typical memory-backup time with a fully charged battery is 72 hours.

If data is in memory when power is restored, the machine continues operations from the point when power was lost.

If the data in memory is lost when power is restored, the Power Outage Report prints.
