ERROR MESSAGES
If the error message on the LCD reads "MACHINE ERROR
EA", this may indicate that document was removed from
the feeder while transmission was still taking place.
RESPONSE OR BUSY
NO CONNECTABILITY
ID MISMATCH
LINE DISCONNECTED
COMM ERROR XX YY
When you are making a transmission, this message indicates
that either the other party is busy or that no response has
been received. If you have turned the Auto Redial function
ON (see page IV-1-10), the machine will automatically try
the number again after a few minutes. If you have selected
to turn the Auto Redial function OFF, this transmission
will be unsuccessful and transmission verification report
(busy) will be printed out.
When you are the receiving party, this message will indicate
that certain functions—password, and the confidential
mailbox
and relay broadcasting—cannot be enabled
because the sending party^s machine is not a Brother
machine.
This may indicate that the incorrect ID number (for
password, password plus, and secure polling, and the
confidential mailbox, confidential mailbox retrieval, or
relay broadcast request) was used when the sender made
his transmission. Contact the sender to verify that your ID
codes match up correctly. A transmission verification report
(error) will be printed out.
This may also occur if you have entered the wrong ID code
when attempting to print out a confidential message from
the memory. Double check the ID and try the operation
again.
This message may indicate that either the sending or the
receiving party has interrupted the fax transmission (or
reception) operation. If you are the sender, this may also
indicate a missed telephone line connection due to an ID
mismatch or the receiving party being unprepared for
polling, and so on. In such circumstances, check with the
receiving party to learn what is happening at the other end
of the line.
This message indicates that some communication error has
taken place. "XX YY" represents the error codes used to
