Cannot Print

Replace XX Ink

One or more of the ink cartridges
are empty. The machine will stop all
print operations. While memory is
available, black & white faxes will
be stored in the memory. If a
sending machine has a color fax,
the machine's ‘handshake’ will ask
that the fax be sent as black &
white. If the sending machine has
the ability to convert it, the color fax
will be stored in the memory as a
black & white fax.

Replace the empty ink cartridges. (See
Replacing the ink cartridges on page 111.)

Clean Unable XX The machine has a mechanical

problem.

ripped paper is in the machine.

Open the scanner cover and look inside the

lose any important messages. Then, disconnect
the machine from the power for several minutes
and then reconnect it.

completely closed.

Firmly close the ink cartridge cover until it clicks.

Comm.Error

Send the fax again or connect the machine to
another telephone line. If the problem continues,
call the telephone company and ask them to
check your telephone line.

completely.

Lift the scanner cover and then close it again.
