SOURCE: OUTGOING FAX ERROR CODE: NG

Hi,
I can advise you on the 'memory full' problem, mate.

If you get a MEMORY FULL message while scanning the first page of a fax, press Stop to cancel the scan. If you get a MEMORY FULL message while scanning in a subsequent page, you’ll have the option to press Start to transmit the pages scanned
so far, or to press Stop to cancel the operation. In this case, send the fax by the Manual Transmission.
Depending on your typical faxes, MEMORY FULL errors can occur frequently. If this happens, change the Memory Transmission setting back to OFF.
To do this:

Press Function/Set, 3, 9.
This should take you to MEMORY TX
and MEMORY TX: ON?
Then press either the left or the right arrow (< or >) to switch on or off, and press Function/Set.
For the next fax transmission only, press < or > to select
NEXT FAX ONLY and press Function/Set.

This will mean you don't add any more to the memory and may be able to send faxes. There is a possibility that you will only be able to fax using manual transmission, but at least you should be able to use the machine to fax at all!

I apologise if the jargon is confusing, just try to go through the process one step at a time and you should be fine.

Hope this helps :)

SOURCE: Consistently receiving poor line condition error

The other fax machines are not on the same line though, right? Try installing a line filter.

SOURCE: what does poor line condition mean? i can receive

If this happening only on one fax number, its the other side, could be their line or fax machine.

Just make sure for youre end that the telephone wire is in the LINE jack of fax machine (NOT EXT) and other end should should go directly to wall jack (meaning no extention or splitter)

How to stop to print the journal after send fax everytime?

Sending Confirmation
This report shows the fax number, the number of pages, elapsed time of
the operation, the communication mode, and the communication results.
You can set up your machine to print the message confirmation report in
one of the following ways (see page 5.3):
• Automatically after each transmission (ON)
• Automatically only if an error occurs during transmission (ERR)
• No report printed at all (OFF). You can print this report manually at
any time you want.
SENDING CONFIRM - A confirmation report shows whether the
transmission was successful or not, how many pages were sent, etc.
Select ON to print a confirmation report automatically each time you
send a fax.
Select OFF to turn this feature off.
Select ERROR to print only when an error occurs and the transmission
was not successful.

WHY DO I GET A BLANK PAGE AFTER EACH FAX?

The fax machine that is sending you the fax may be also sending a confirmation page that is not needed or compatible with your machine.

I have an older machine that prints a confirmation page after each fax. People on the other end sometimes receive a blank page after each fax that I send them while my machine prints a mostly blank page with only a single line of text at the top with the date and time.

Everytime we someone trys to send us a fax the machine sends the fax in to memory! we have made sure all the settings are correct but can not work out why it does this! please help

Sometimes in the menu, you can store faxes in memory. If you can, enter in the menu and change it, to off, or select how you wish the fax to be delt with, Printed, or stored.

Can't stop the transmision report - continues to print page after page

Make sure the transmitter knows how to send a FAX, i personally wasted a lot of time and paper because the sender doesn't know that the FAX machine had an automatic document feeder and that all pages has to be put in position before sending, and not page by page while sending.
Also see in the FAX manual if it can avoid printing the transmission report. Most Panasonic Faxes can do that.

Sending Faxes

When the last page of your document has been sent successfully, the machine beeps and returns to Standby mode. When something goes wrong while sending your fax, an error message appears on the display. If you receive an error message, press Stop/Clear to clear the message and try to send the document again. You can set your machine to print a confirmation report automatically each time sending a fax is completed. If you get the error message write it down it should always supply an error message if the fax did not go through.
