When a Job Is Not Performed
When a Job Is Not Performed
If you cannot execute a function, it may be that the machine is being held up by
another function.

If you cannot execute a function, terminate any other functions currently active,
and then try executing the function again. In some cases, you can carry out an-
other job (copier, facsimile, printer, or scanner) without canceling the current job
being performed. Performing multiple functions simultaneously like this is
called “Multi-accessing”.

When an Error Report Is Printed
An Error Report is printed if a document cannot be successfully sent or received.
Possible causes include a problem with the machine or noise on the telephone
line. If an error occurs during transmission, resend the original.
If an error occurs during reception, ask the sender to resend the document.
Note
❒ If an error happens frequently, contact your service representative.
❒ The “Page” column gives the total number of pages. The “Page not sent” or
“Page not received” column gives the number of pages not sent or received
successfully.

Turning Off the Main Power / In the Event of Power Failure
Turning Off the Main Power / In the Event of
Power Failure
This section describes the machine status when the power is turned off or if the
power fails.
R CAUTION:
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
3
Important
❒ Do not turn off the main power switch while the operation switch indicator is
lit or blinking. If you do, the memory may be damaged and failure could result.
❒ Turn off the main power switch before pulling out the plug. If you pull out
the plug with the switch on, the memory may be damaged and failure could
result.
❒ Make sure that 100% is shown on the display before you unplug the machine.
If a lower value is shown, some data is currently present in memory.
❒ Right after a power failure, the internal battery needs to be sufficiently re-
charged to guard against future data loss. Keep the machine plugged in and
the main power switch on for about 5 days after the power loss.
Even if the main power switch is turned off, the contents of the machine memory
(for example, programmed numbers) will not be lost. However, if power is lost
for about twelve hours because the main power switch is turned off, there is a
power cut, or the power cord is removed, contents of the Fax memory are lost.
Lost items will include any fax documents stored in memory using Memory
Transmission/Reception, Memory Lock, or Substitute Reception.
If a file was deleted from memory, a Power Failure Report is automatically print-
ed as soon as the power is restored.
This report can be used to identify lost files. If a document stored for Memory
Transmission was lost, resend it. If a document received by Memory Reception
or Substitute Reception was lost, ask the sender to resend it.
❖ RDS (Remote Diagnostic System)
If the machine has a problem, a service representative can perform various
settings over the telephone line from the service station. If you want to use
this function, change the User Parameter. See “Parameter Setting”, General
Settings Guide.

Troubleshooting When Using the Facsimile Function
When an Error Occurs Using Internet Fax
This section describes reports that the machine sends if an Internet Fax error occurs.
Error Mail Notification
The machine sends the Error Mail Notification to the sender when it is unable to
successfully receive a particular e-mail message. A “cc” of this notification is also
sent to the administrator's e-mail address when one is specified.
3
Note
❒ You can select to send Error Mail Notification with User Parameters. See “Pa-
rameter Setting”, General Settings Guide.
❒ If Error Mail Notification cannot be sent, the Error Report (E-Mail) is printed
by the machine.
❒ If an error occurs when e-mail is received via SMTP, the SMTP server sends
error e-mail to the originator of the document.
Reference
“Parameter Setting”, General Settings Guide
Error Report (E-Mail)
The Error Report (E-Mail) is printed by the machine when it is unable to send an
Error Mail Notification.
Server-Generated Error E-mail
The transmitting server sends this error e-mail to the originator of e-mail that
cannot be transmitted successfully (due to reasons such as specifying an incor-
rect e-mail address).
Note
❒ After server-generated error e-mail is printed, the first page of the sent docu-
ment is printed.
