Check whether you have inserted and clamped in the paper correctly. The lever on the right next to the pa- per feed mechanism must be pushed back.

If the message memory is full, no additional messages can be received. A warning appears on the display. Observe the information in the technical data.

If there are problems with printing out saved fax messages, a service code is available (see also section Service, page 50).
