“Check Message” printouts
When a fax call goes awry and your machine detects an error, it produces an error
printout headed by the words “Check Message”. This printout lists the following
information about the transmission:
• The resulting error code
• A communications error message (see previous page)
• The phone number (or, perhaps,
TTI
) of the fax machine with which your
machine had attempted to communicate
What error messages can mean
The error messages on Check Message printouts can mean a variety of things.
