Fax error messages
Alert and warning messages appear temporarily and might require the user to acknowledge the
message by pressing OK to resume or by pressing Cancel to cancel the job. With certain warnings, the
job might not complete or the print quality might be affected. If the alert or warning message is related
to printing and the auto-continue feature is on, the product will attempt to resume the printing job after
the warning has appeared for 10 seconds without acknowledgement.
