Need list of Fax result codes for Canon MF5550

most printer in the market has the same standard setting for the fax.
u can set the report many types for many user's purposes, some people want to save paper, save ink/toner, so they dont need report if the fax is sent but only print report if the fax is not good(NG or not sent)

it can be set to:
report off--means report will be print out only if the fax is NG
report off+image--means report will be print out if the fax is NG + the image of the page that is not sent(so we know which page is not sent through the image)
report on+image-- every fax activities( sent or not sent) will be reported, which is not recommended
etc....

how to set is depends on your printer, just go to the menu "FAX" and look inside the menu.

You need to apply Canon's firware update at http://www.canon.com and search for fumx310swin1040en.exe if you have Windows or for an iMac the file is MX310 series Firmware Upgrade Utility Ver. 1.040 (Mac OS X) with a file name of fumx310sosx1040en.dmg

NG = No Good. This means the fax did not go through.

This error usually means you have a phone line problem.

You need to try to increase your transmission level, or check the line equalization. It could also be a problem with an echo on the phone line.

NG only means the result is No Good. After the ng there should be an error number that tells what the problem is.

It means No Good or Not Good, fax was never received for a number of reasons.

Yes,it means the fax did not go through,it will show OK on the report if it was succesfull

Hi flyme.. I have the same problem but on an MF5770 all in one MFP. If anyone can solve this then wow.. I've been trying to find a solution for over 18 months now...

NO GOOD (USA) or NOT GOOD (ASIA)

NG means NO GOOD or NOT GOOD Plug a regular phone into the wall jack and listen for a dial-tone.

Unplug the power cord for 10 seconds
