LaserWriter 16/600 PS: Fax Log Status Messages (1/95)



What are the options when using the LaserWriter 16/600 PS fax log? All of the status messages I have read "Job Unknown". Also, How does the Settings section work? Were are using local area code of 516 and long distance code of 1. I am assuming that this informs the fax that the local area code is 516 and to place a 1 in front of numbers where the area code is different from 516.

The fax log only lists the faxes sent from the workstation you are on. For a listing of all of the faxes sent by the printer, the LaserWriter FAX Utility should be used. The utility is capable of displaying and printing all fax jobs sent by the printer.

Concerning the status options, some of the more common status messages are: "Job Unknown", "Status Unknown", "Currently Sending", "Callee Didn't Respond", "Finished Successfully". We were able to duplicate the problem where most of the jobs state "Job Unknown". To get a correct status;

1) Select all the fax jobs in the fax log
2) Choose "Check Status" from the File menu

This causes the Laserwriter Fax Log Utility to query the Fax servers and update the log to the correct values.

You are correct, the "Long Distance Prefix" gets placed automatically in front of any area code not equal to the "Local Area Code". This only occurs when selecting an entry in the phonebook, and not when manually typing in a phone number. If a phone number is manually typed in to the "Fax Number" field, then whatever is typed is used by the printer.
