"Settings" → [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Condition Settings] → [Dial Mode Setting]

Is a busy signal received?

If a busy signal is received, the transmission is temporarily canceled and then automatically attempted again after a brief interval. The factory default setting : Two attempts at 3-minute intervals.

Did a communication error occur?

If an error occurs preventing transmission, the transmission is temporarily canceled and then automatically re-attempted after a brief interval. "Settings (administrator)" → [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Send Setting] → [Recall in Case of Communication Error] To cancel transmission, tap the job status display on the operation panel, tap the key of the job you want to delete, and tap [Stop/Delete] on the action panel.

"Settings" → [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Condition Settings] → [ECM]

Does a message appear indicating that the memory is full?

Divide the originals into sets and fax each set separately, or use direct transmission. If the memory becomes full, the transmission will be canceled.

Does a message appear notifying you that the original size was not detected?

Place the original again. If the original size is still not detected correctly, specify the original size manually.

Does the job status screen (completed jobs) or a transaction report indicate that the transmission was not successful?

Perform the transmission again. If the transmission is still not successful after recalling is performed as set in [Recall in Case of Line Busy] or [Recall in Case of Communication Error], the transmission failure will be indicated in the job status screen and the transaction report.

Did you place an original that is folded?

Following the instructions in the display, unfold the original, place it in the automatic document feeder again, and re-scan it. If a folded original is placed in the automatic document feeder, an error will occur and scanning will be canceled when the actual original size is detected during scanning.
