Fax error messages
Alert and warning messages appear temporarily and might require you to acknowledge the message by
touching the OK button to resume or by touching the Cancel
button to cancel the job. With certain
warnings, the job might not complete or the print quality might be affected. If the alert or warning message is
related to printing and the auto-continue feature is on, the product will attempt to resume printing the job
after the warning has appeared for 10 seconds without acknowledgement.
