Can't fax because the fax log is full and want to know how to erase

Once you print out the fax log it should clear the memory. Here are the instructions for printing the log.


To print the fax log from the device control panel

2. Press the arrow key to move down to Print Report, and then press OK.
3. Press the arrow key to move down to Fax Log, and then press OK.
4. Press OK again to print the log

You can try this,
"A 'Fax Log Full ' message displays on the control panel display when the Fax Log is full."

1. Press the Setup button ("Spanner logo")

2. Press the Right arrow button (?) until Tools displays on the control panel, and then press OK .

3. Press the Right arrow button (?) until Fax Log displays on the control panel, and then press OK .

4. Press the Right arrow button (?) until Clear Fax Log displays on the control panel, and then press OK . A message that says the fax memory is clear displays on the control panel.

5. Press the Cancel button (X) to exit.

Hope it helps.

MEMORY IS FULL / SEE MANUAL (alternating messages)
The memory is full. You may have too many messages recorded in the answering machine. To erase messages, see below. This may occur during fax reception if too much data is received before the pages can be printed out. If faxes have been received to memory because printing is not possible (an additional message will indicate the problem), resolve the problem so that printing can continue (see Substitute Reception to Memory on page 66). If you are attempting to transmit from memory, see If the memory becomes full on page 57. If you are copying, see If MEMORY IS FULL appears on page 67.

Erasing received messages:
It is important to erase received messages after you listen to them to ensure
that the memory does not become full.
? Erasing all messages: To erase all messages, press FUNCTION, DELETE, and then START/MEMORY.
? Erasing a single message: To erase a single message, press DELETE while the message is being played.


If the memory becomes full while the document is being scanned, MEMORY
IS FULL and SEE MANUAL will alternately appear in the display.
? Press START / MEMORY if you want to transmit the pages which have been stored up to that point in memory. The remaining pages will be ejected from the feeder. After transmission, the memory will be cleared and you can transmit the remaining pages. You will also need to transmit the page which was being scanned when the memory filled up.
? Press STOP if you want to cancel the entire transmission.

You need to clear the fax log. Press the control panel's button (right or left) until you see 'fax log' on the display, then press OK or Enter (depending on the printer). Press the control panel's button again until you see 'clear fax log' or 'delete fax log' on the display, then press OK or Enter. You should get a confirmation message on the panel display. You can turn the printer off and then after a few seconds turn it back on. The fax log memory should be empty now.

In case you haven't solved this yet:

1. Press the Setup button ( ).
2. Press the Right arrow button ( > ) until Tools displays on the control panel, and then press OK .
3. Press the Right arrow button ( > ) until Fax Log displays on the control panel, and then press OK .
4. Press the Right arrow button ( > ) until Clear Fax Log displays on the control panel, and then press OK . A message that says the fax memory is clear displays on the control panel.
5. Press the Cancel button ( X ) to exit.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Here is the user's guide.
Go to page 65 (page 81 on the reader bar on the bottom) and turn off Advanced Fax Operations > It will ask you if you want to print the faxes or erase them. Also, see page 80 ( page 96 in the reader) first. It explains what to do.

Try unplugging the power cord for 10 seconds. Do you have ink / paper?

most fax machines only keep track of faxes for 30 days or so many faxes then deletes the oldest one when a new one comes in. hope this helps to clairify.
