When the Machine Does Not Operate as Wanted
When a Job is Not Performed
You might not be able to perform a function if the machine is busy with another
function.
If this appears to be the case, stop any active function, and then try performing
the required function again. In some cases, you can carry out another job (copier,
facsimile, printer scanner) without canceling the current job being performed.
Performing multiple functions simultaneously like this is called “Multi-accessing”.

Turning Off the Main Power / In the Event of
Power Failure
This section explains the machine status when the power is turned off or if the
power fails.
CAUTION:
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
3
Important
❒ 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 that 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 re-
charged 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, Auto Document, Confidential Reception, Memory Lock, or
Substitute Reception.
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.

Error Mail Notification
The machine sends the Error Mail Notification to the sender when it is unable to

sent to the administrator's e-mail address when one is specified.
Note
❒ You can select to send Error Mail Notification with User Parameters. See “Pa-

❒ If Error Mail Notification cannot be sent, the Error Report (E-Mail) is printed

❒ 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).

5. Troubleshooting When
Using the Scanner Function
This chapter explains likely causes of and possible solutions for scanner function
problems.
When Scanning is Not Done as Expected
This section explains causes and remedies when scan results are not as expected.
ProblemCauseSolution
Printing does not start.The cover of One-Sheet Bypass
Tray or One-Sheet output Tray is
open.
Printing does not start.Paper is left in the One-Sheet out-
put Tray.
The scanned image is

The image is distorted
or out of position.
The scanned image is
upside down.
No image results from
scanning.
The exposure glass, scanning
glass, exposure glass cover, ADF,
or ARDF is dirty.
The original was moved during
scanning.
The original was not pressed flat
against the exposure glass.
The original was placed upside
down.
The original was placed with the
front and back reversed.
Check that the cover of One-Sheet
Bypass Tray or One-Sheet output
Tray is properly closed.
Remove the paper left in the OneSheet output Tray.
Clean these parts. See “Maintaining Your Machine”. See p.123
“Maintaining Your Machine”.
Do not move the original during
scanning.
Make sure that the original is
pressed flat against the exposure
glass.
Place the original in the correct
orientation. See “Placing Originals”, Copy Reference.
When the original is placed directly on the exposure glass, the
side to be scanned must face
down. When the original is fed
via the ADF, or ARDF, the side to
be scanned must face up. See
“Placing Originals”, Copy Reference.
Images are scanned in
rotated.
The scanned image
contains white spaces.
If you set the original with its upper edge backward and save full
colour/grey scale images as a
TIFF or JPEG file, they are
scanned in rotated.
If you scan originals using functions other than the network
TWAIN scanner function, certain
paper size and resolution settings
may produce scanned images
that are larger than the specified
size because of margins being
added to the sides.
When placing a stack of originals
in the ADF, place their upper
edges first.
Scanning at a higher resolution
may reduce the margins.
