The machine’s memory is full because you tried to send too many pages at once, or a very long or detailed document. Divide the document and send each part separately.
Message Error Code Cause PSWD TX REJECTED REC’D IN MEMORY #081 — Action You attempted to send a document with a password, but the other party’s fax machine does not support reception with a password. Contact the other party to check their settings. If their fax machine does not support reception with a password, delete the password you have registered (1 pp. 4-7, 4-11). The machine received the fax in memory because paper or toner ran out, or a paper jam occurred during reception.
