User’s Manual 203
The display shows a communication error.
This alarm indicates any of a number of problems:
• You may be trying to communicate with an incompatible
fax machine. Your machine can only communicate with
ITU-T Group 3 fax machines.
• The remote machine may not be able to perform the
function that you want, such as polling or confidential
messages.
• The remote machine may also be out of paper or
experiencing a paper jam.
• Bad telephone line conditions can also cause
communication errors. Try sending the fax again and
check to make sure you are dialing the correct telephone
number.
• You have to dial a prefix number to get an outside line,
or if you are dialing internationally, you may need to
enter a pause (using the Pause One Touch key) after the
dial prefix or international dialing code to tell your
machine to wait for a dial tone.
• If you have frequent problems communicating with a
particular remote fax machine, try programming the
number into one of your One Touch keys and then
changing the Communication Parameters for that One
Touch key. See “Programming Speed Dial Numbers.”
• Your machine or the remote fax machine may need
servicing. Try sending a fax to another location to check
your machine.
