OUTGOING FAX ERROR CODE: NG

When faxing, I keep getting the same error code of: NG: POOR LINE CONDITION / OUT OF MEMORY

  • Anonymous Jan 13, 2009

    I know it is not Memory full. I've sent out other faxes and did not get the NG problem. Maybe it is a line problem on the other end? Isn't there a code for busy?

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 :)

    If that still doesn't work, you could manually delete the jobs from the memory by doing the following:

    1. Press Function/Set, 4. Any waiting jobs appear on the display. If
    there are no jobs waiting, the screen displays NO JOB WAITING.
    2. If you have more than 2 jobs waiting, press < or > to select the job you want to cancel and press Function/Set.
    3. Press 1 to cancel, or 2 to exit without cancelling.
    4. Press Stop to exit.

    Might take a while but it will clear the memory!
    Season's Greetings!

Can't send fax. Getting transmission verification report stating NG: poor line condition/ out of memory. HELP!!

There are two possible reasons why your printer display the error message.

1. Poor Line Condition
- electrical interference on the line -Make sure electrical or electronic appliances do not interfere with the printer's phone line
- poor line connection - If you have a phone try connecting it directly to line outlet. Listen to the dial tone, if you hear noisy and static, then you will need to call your local telephone company cause there is a problem in your phone line. If dial tone is clear and stable then try checking the telephone line cord that you use to connect your printer from the line outlet, replace if broken.
- alarm system or another device on same line, these interferes with transmission / reception of the fax machine. Try connecting the printer all alone and then try sending a fax.

2. Memory Full
- There is no space to store incoming fax messages. Delete all stored fax messages.

My Brother mfc-665cw will not fax. It keep saying NG: POOR LINE CONDITION/OUT OF MEMORY

Check to see if you can make a call using the fax machine. This error can occur if you have no connection. It can also occur if your line is occupied or busy.

I had bought Brother MFC 495CW all in one printer and connected to Vonage for Fax. I am able to dial voice phone from Printer and able to get the outgoing call and income as well.But when I try to use for...

Search the forums on Vonage's website, lots of people have your problem, me included.

First, make sure you are using only a two wire phone cord to connect the fax to the adapter

Second, turn set Compatibility to "Basic (for VoIP)" under the initial setup menu.

This "should" help, but the different phone adapters respond differently to faxing.

MFC-440CN PRINTER fax error

Plug a phone into the line and listen for static. Too many phones on the line, bad lines,etc, can cause a poor line condition. Try the unit directly into the phone line, no answer machine or anything else on the line. Maybe the memory thing is it has a lot of faxes that it hasn't been able to send.

Unplug the power cord for 30 seconds. Are you trying to fax on a DSL or any other kind of digital phone line?

NG: POOR LINE CONDITION / OUT OF MEMORY

You can adjust the Compatibility mode. This adjusts the sensitivity of the machine to interference on the phone line by lowering the transmission speed:
a. Press Menu, 2 (Fax), 0 (Miscellaneous), 1 (Compatibility)
b. Press Up or Down arrow to select "Basic"
c. Press OK.
d. Press Stop/Exit.
e. Try resending the fax.
If the problem continues we recommend you try the unit on another line at the current location or another location. Always restart your machines after you made changes, that way you will see the results.
