I have a Sharp FO - 880 tel/fax/answering machine and I get the message saying that the memory is full. How can I empty the memory to receive messages?

enter simulation mode using # * c * after you are in run test command 66-10

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/ethan_e84416e0b13809d2

MEMORY IS FULL / SEE MANUAL (alternating messages)
The memory is full. You may have too many messages recorded in the answering machine. To erase messages, see below. This may occur during fax reception if too much data is received before the pages can be printed out. If faxes have been received to memory because printing is not possible (an additional message will indicate the problem), resolve the problem so that printing can continue (see Substitute Reception to Memory on page 66). If you are attempting to transmit from memory, see If the memory becomes full on page 57. If you are copying, see If MEMORY IS FULL appears on page 67.

Erasing received messages:
It is important to erase received messages after you listen to them to ensure
that the memory does not become full.
? Erasing all messages: To erase all messages, press FUNCTION, DELETE, and then START/MEMORY.
? Erasing a single message: To erase a single message, press DELETE while the message is being played.


If the memory becomes full while the document is being scanned, MEMORY
IS FULL and SEE MANUAL will alternately appear in the display.
? Press START / MEMORY if you want to transmit the pages which have been stored up to that point in memory. The remaining pages will be ejected from the feeder. After transmission, the memory will be cleared and you can transmit the remaining pages. You will also need to transmit the page which was being scanned when the memory filled up.
? Press STOP if you want to cancel the entire transmission.

Press the Reception Mode button to toggle between Fax, Answering Machine and Tel (manual receive). If you need to change the number of rings before the Fax is picked up, press Function 4 then # # # Then press a number between 1 and 5 followed by Stop.

I hope this helps.

(BTW there is a little arrow that points to the Reception Mode on the LCD screen -> Tel on the left, Fax on the right (both of these across the top right), and A.M. on right side.)

tel fax

It's gone forever, once your machine received a EOT (end of transmission signal), your fax machine thinks it was received OK and clears it from memory.

Try holding down the stop and start keys while turning the power on and see if that clears the problem.
