something wrong with the black printer cartridge

PG-240XXL XXL Black Ink Cartridge
PG-240XL XL Black Ink Cartridge
PG-240 Black Ink Cartridge
CL-241XL XL Color Ink Cartridge

wonder if the machine requires: 1-nnn-nnn-nnnn (without -) format of the recipient's fax no. (does your phone system require a prefix no. to call number outside of the bldg.?)

The FAX is factory
set to automatically print an ACTIVITY REPORT after every 20

transactions. If you want to print an ACTIVITY REPORT before it is automatically

printed, follow this procedure:

• If you prefer the FAX not to print an ACTIVITY REPORT after every 20 transactions,

disable the ACTIVITY REPORT setting ( p. 14

a document to several fax numbers in one operation.

Your machine can print reports containing useful information. The following reports are available:

• Sent Fax Repor: This report shows information of the faxes you recently sent.

This is the only way the activaty report can be printed at a spesific time.If you switch the report on in the report settings it will only print when the memory is near full.The other way is to switch TX report to on in report settings,but the you will get a report after every fax that you sent.

There is a report called a Confirmation report.
Under your set up, you will find it under one of 2 headings. Either under "reports" or it may just say Confirmation.
You will have 3 settings. 1 is to print on error only. 2 will be to print always and of course off.
If you want it to never print set off, if you want it to print when the fax is NOT sent, sellect error .
