Fax reports11
Some fax reports (transmission verification 
and fax journal) can be printed automatically 
and manually.
Transmission verification 
report11
You can use the transmission report as proof 
that you sent a fax. This report lists the time 
and date of transmission and whether the 
transmission was successful (shown as 
“OK”). If you choose On or On+Image, the 
report will print for every fax you send.
If you send a lot of faxes to the same place, 
you may need more than the job numbers to 
know which faxes you must send again. 
Choosing On+Image or Off+Image will print 
a section of the fax’s first page on the report 
to help you remember.
When the verification report is turned Off or 
to Off+Image, the report will only print if 
there is a transmission error.

(activity report) at specific intervals (every 50

default setting is Every 50 Faxes, this 
means that your machine will print the journal 
when the machine has stored 50 jobs. 
If you set the interval to Off, you can still print 
the report by following the steps on the next

time and then erase all jobs from its memory. 
If the machine’s memory becomes full with 
200 jobs before the time you chose has 
passed, the machine will print the journal 
early and then erase all jobs from memory.
