What does NG mean for Status after sending a scanned item or faxed item?

It means No Good. 5 possibilities:

Receiving machine unplugged
Not a fax number
Wrong fax number
Busy signal
Digital Phone Line

No Good, receiving machine never answered.

POWER OFF THE MACHINE PRESS 1 3 *(star) together. switch on machine while holding this three sw.
machine will rest.

I have a Canon ir 3045 copier. I had sucessfully scanned two documents but the third scanned document (107 pages) was not emailed to me. When I click on press details, the job type reads #801. how do i retrieve the document?

NO GOOD (USA) or NOT GOOD (ASIA)

Hi,
I can advise you on the 'memory full' problem, mate.

If you get a MEMORY FULL message while scanning the first page of a fax, press Stop to cancel the scan. If you get a MEMORY FULL message while scanning in a subsequent page, you’ll have the option to press Start to transmit the pages scanned
so far, or to press Stop to cancel the operation. In this case, send the fax by the Manual Transmission.
Depending on your typical faxes, MEMORY FULL errors can occur frequently. If this happens, change the Memory Transmission setting back to OFF.
To do this:

Press Function/Set, 3, 9.
This should take you to MEMORY TX
and MEMORY TX: ON?
Then press either the left or the right arrow (< or >) to switch on or off, and press Function/Set.
For the next fax transmission only, press < or > to select
NEXT FAX ONLY and press Function/Set.

This will mean you don't add any more to the memory and may be able to send faxes. There is a possibility that you will only be able to fax using manual transmission, but at least you should be able to use the machine to fax at all!

I apologise if the jargon is confusing, just try to go through the process one step at a time and you should be fine.

Hope this helps :)

NG means NO GOOD or NOT GOOD Plug a regular phone into the wall jack and listen for a dial-tone.

Unplug the power cord for 10 seconds

I changed the SMTP address from a name to an IP and that resolved it for me.

NG means "no good". it means your fax didn't go through correctly or wasn't received correctly. ie wrong number of pages etc.

NG STANDS FOR NOT GONE , TYPICALLY THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS A COOMMUNICTION ERROR AND THERE IS ALINE DISTURBANCE /NOISE DURING THE CONNECTION WHILE SENDING THE FAX MESSAGE. TRY CHANGING THE TELEPHONE LINE IF IT IS AVAILABLE. HAPPY FAXING OMNIPRESENT
