Faxes you send are not arriving at the receiving fax machine.

Cause

Solution

The receiving fax machine might be turned off or might have
an error condition, such as being out of paper.

Call the recipient to make sure that the fax machine is turned
on and ready to receive faxes.

A fax might be stored in memory because it is waiting to redial
a busy number, or there are other jobs ahead of it waiting to
be sent.

If a fax job is in memory for either of these reasons, an entry
for the job appears in the fax log. Print the fax activity log (see
the fax guide), and check the Result column for jobs with a
Pending designation.
