Problem Causes Solutions
Cannot use Web Image Monitor to print documents stored in Document Server.
• If you cannot make copies as you want because of paper type, paper size, or paper capacity problems, use the recommended paper. See "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types", About This Machine.
• Using curled paper often causes misfeeds, soiled paper edges, or slipped positions while performing staple or stack printing. When using curled paper, take the stiffness out of the paper with your hands to straighten out the curl, or load the paper up side down. Also, lay paper on a flat surface to prevent paper from curling, and do not lean it against the wall.

• Do not install the machine in areas that are susceptible to low temperature.
• Use paper that has been stored where temperature and humidity conditions meet the limitations we recommend. For details about the paper storage conditions we recommend, see "Paper Storage", About This Machine.
If any documents have been lost for this reason, a Power Failure Report is automatically printed when the machine is turned on. If fax documents stored for Memory Transmission have been lost, check the destinations and resend the documents. If fax documents received through Memory, Memory Lock or Substitute Reception have been lost, ask the senders to resend the documents.

Turning Off the Main Power / In the Event of Power Failure

The following notes concern power failure and turning off the machine.
• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not turn off the main power switch while the power indicator is lit or blinking. If you do, the hard disk and memory may be damaged and failure could result.
• Turn off the main power switch before pulling out the plug. If you pull out the plug with the switch on, the hard disk and memory may be damaged and failure could result.
• Make sure 100% is shown on the display before you unplug the machine. If a lower value is shown, some data is currently present in memory.
• Right after a power failure, the internal battery needs to be sufficiently recharged to guard against future data loss. Keep the machine plugged in and the main power switch on for about 24 hours after the power loss.
Even if the main power switch is turned off, the contents of the machine memory (for example, programmed numbers) will not be lost. However, if power is lost for about one hour because the main power switch is turned off, there is a power cut, or the power cable is removed, contents of the Fax memory are lost. Lost items will include any fax documents stored in memory using Memory Transmission/Reception, or Memory Lock.
If a file was deleted from memory, a Power Failure Report is automatically printed as soon as the power is restored.
This report can be used to identify lost files. If a memory stored for Memory Transmission was lost, resend it. If a document received by Memory Reception or Substitute Reception was lost, ask the sender to resend it.

When an Error Occurs Using Internet Fax

When an Error Occurs Using Internet Fax
This section describes reports that the machine sends if an Internet Fax error occurs.

Error Mail Notification

The machine sends the Error Mail Notification to the sender when it is unable to successfully receive a particular e-mail message. A "cc" of this notification is also sent to the administrator's e-mail address when one is specified.
• If an incoming Internet Fax from another party bypasses the SMTP server, even if reception is not successful, an Error Mail Notification is not sent to the sender.
• You can select to send Error Mail Notification by configuring the appropriate User Parameter. For details about how to do this, see "Parameter Settings", Facsimile Reference.
• If Error Mail Notification cannot be sent, the Error Report (E-mail) is printed by the machine.
• If an error occurs when an e-mail is received via SMTP, the SMTP server sends an error e-mail to the originator of the document.

Error Report (E-mail)

The Error Report (E-mail) is printed by the machine when it is unable to send an Error Mail Notification.

Server-Generated Error E-mail

The transmitting server sends this error e-mail to the originator of e-mail that cannot be transmitted successfully (due to reasons such as specifying an incorrect e-mail address).
• If an Internet Fax transmission bypasses the SMTP server, even if transmission is not successful, an error e-mail is not sent from the server.
• After a server-generated error e-mail is printed, the first page of the sent document is printed.
