COM-E is a general communication error that occurs when the 2 fax machines cannot establish or keep a good connection. This could be due to a bad line or a bad circuit on the machine. More times than not, its a bad line.
It means "Communication Error".
The result might be twofold:
- the fax didn't reach it's destination because of communications error (any kind)
- the fax did reach it's destination, but part of it may be unreadable or distorted, or some pages of a multi-page fax did not go through.
In many cases, what the device perceives as an erroneous transmission, is perfectly readable by a human. Therefore it's good to call the recipient and ask if the fax is readable and if all the pages were received.

not hot on these but it could mean "communication engaged" so the fax was not able to be sent. if this happens test dial the far end fax number with a regular phone and see if you get an engaged tone. if this is the case change settings to retry fax send or just try to send the fax later when the line is free.
