You need to set up the Transmission 
Verification Report and Journal Period using 
the Menu key.
Transmission Verification 
Report
10
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 (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 set to Off or 
Off+Image and the fax wasn’t sent, the 
Report will only print if there is a transmission 
error, with NG in the RESULT column.
Note
If you choose On+Image or Off+Image 
the image will only appear on the 
Transmission Verification Report if Real 
Time Transmission is set to Off. (See Real 
time transmission on page 32.)

Fax Journal (activity report)

You can set the machine to print a journal at 
specific intervals (every 50 faxes, 6, 12 or 
24 hours, 2 or 7 days). If you set the interval 
to Off, you can still print the report by 
following the steps in How to print a report

The machine will print the report at 
the chosen 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 the memory. If you want an 
extra report before it is due to print, 
you can print it without erasing the 
jobs from the memory.
Every 50 Faxes
The machine will print the Journal 
when the machine has stored 50 
jobs.
