If you want to cancel automatic redialing, wait until the printer starts dialing the number, and then press the printer's Stop button. You can also delete the document from the printer's memory to cancel automatic redialing.

This group dial cannot be used.

The group dial cannot be specified in the on hook dial function.

Busy/no signal

  • The recipient's number you dialed is busy.

    Try dialing again after waiting for a moment.

  • The fax/telephone number dialed is incorrect.

    Check the fax/telephone number and dial again.

  • The recipient's fax device did not respond (after all automatic redialing attempts).

    Contact the recipient and have the recipient check the fax device.

    For an overseas call, add pauses to the registered number.

  • The recipient is not using a G3 printer.

    The printer cannot send or receive documents to/from a fax device that is incompatible with the G3 standard. Contact the recipient and ask the recipient to check whether the fax device is G3 compatible.

  • The touch tone/rotary pulse setting on the printer is incorrect.

    Set the printer to match the telephone line you are using.

Memory is full.

The printer's memory is full because it has sent/received too many documents, or a detailed document.

Print the faxes stored in the printer's memory or save them on the USB flash drive, and delete them from the printer's memory.

When sending a fax, resend it.

If this message still appears, delete the faxes stored in the printer's memory, divide the faxes for sending, and send them again.

When receiving a fax, have the sender resend the faxes.

Awaiting document processing.

The received faxes were not saved on the USB flash drive automatically because the USB flash drive was not inserted or because it was not writable.

The received faxes are stored in the printer's memory. Insert the writable USB flash drive, and then save the received faxes to the USB flash drive manually.

Delete any unnecessary fax from the printer's memory after saving to the USB flash drive or printing the fax.

FAX info does not match.

The transmission has been canceled because the printer could not detect the recipient's fax device information or the information did not match the dialed number. This message is displayed when Check RX FAX information in Security control under FAX settings is set to ON.

Reception rejected.

The reception has been rejected because the fax matches the fax rejection condition specified by FAX reception reject in Security control under FAX settings.
