Line in Use

The fax server was not able to send the fax, because there were no outgoing phone lines available.

Loop current detected

When the fax server attempts to go off-hook to send the fax, it finds that the phone is already off-hook. This can occur when two devices are sharing a phone line and attempt to use it at the same time. It might also be a fax card configuration error.

Loop current failed

The fax card detected current on the line, but it did not detect a valid value for LOOP CURRENT.

Loop current not detected

The fax card was looking for LOOP CURRENT before it attempted to dial the fax number but didn't find any.

Network congestion detected

The network may be running inefficiently and causing traffic, or an invalid fax number may have been dialed.

Network high and dry (no ring)

The fax card does not detect any type of telephone interface available. This is a very serious error; contact your fax administrator immediately.

No Answer at Fax #

The fax machine at the receiving end didn't answer, or a wrong number was dialed.

No answer tone detected

The phone is ringing at the destination, but the fax machine is not answering within the specified time. This is especially prevalent in international calling when it can take up to a minute to connect to the remote (receiving) fstation.

Non-G3 Modem Detected

The fax server has detected a non-Group III fax modem on the remote (receiving) fax machine and cannot communicate with it.

OCR error

An error occurred while a document was being sent to or in processing by the OCR Module.

OCR in process

The fax has been queued and is being processed for optical character recognition (OCR) by the OCR Module.

OK

The fax server has successfully sent the fax over the phone lines. This does not guarantee successful receipt of the fax at its destination.

One of your outgoing faxes needs attention

Some of the required sending information is missing from the fax.

P2 was not detected at the end of training

There is a performance problem with the fax server and the number of fax cards that it contains.

Phone Line Problems

There is a problem with the phone lines at the fax server.

There was too much line noise for the fax to be transmitted correctly. The fax may have been sent, but it may be difficult to read.

Printing

The fax is printing.

Printing Error

An error occurred while the fax was printing.

Protocol reject message

This is a generic protocol error code that could have several meanings. In general, the fax card in the fax server is having difficulty communicating with the remote (receiving) fax machine, because it isn't getting the signals it expected.

Protocol timeout

This is a generic protocol error code that could have several meanings. In general, the fax card in the fax server is having difficulty communicating with the remote fax machine, because it isn't getting the signals it expected in the appropriate time frame.

Queued for OCR

The fax has been queued and is waiting for the OCR Module to convert it using optical character recognition (OCR).

Queued for Printing

The fax has been queued and is waiting to be printed.

Ringback signal detected

A ringback signal was detected when it should not have been. This may be due to interrupting a call in process on a shared line or could be caused by noise on a T1 phone line.

Ringback, but no answer tone

The phone rang at the destination, but it was never answered. This might be because the receiving fax machine is off-line or unable to receive faxes.

Ringback, then busy condition

The fax number that was dialed went off-hook and then went on-hook very quickly, generating a fast busy signal.

Scheduled for Send

The fax was successfully converted to fax format and is now being sent to the fax server to await sending. If you specified a date and time to send the fax, the fax server will wait to send it then.
