The unit will automatically store caller information (telephone number, name, date and time of the call) of the last 50 different callers. Caller information is stored by the most recent to the oldest call. When the 51st call is received, the oldest call is deleted.

Caller information can be viewed on the display one item at a time (page 38) or confirmed by printing the Caller ID list (page 109).

Note:

11.3.4 Fax - sending

Problem Cause & Solution
I cannot send documents.The other party's fax machine is busy or has run out of recording paper. Try again.The other party does not have a fax machine. Check with the other party.The other party's fax machine failed to answer the fax automatically. Send the fax manually (page 48).
I cannot send a fax overseas.Use the overseas transmission mode of feature #23 (page 71).Add two pauses at the end of the telephone number or dial manually.
The other party complains that letters on their received document are distorted or not clear.If your line has special telephone services such as call waiting, the service may have been activated during fax transmission. Connect the unit to a line that does not have these services.Another telephone on the same line is off the hook. Hang up the telephone and try again.Try copying the document. If the copied image is clear, there may be something wrong with the other party's machine.Adjust the scan contrast using feature #58 (page 72).
