There are several settings available for the Transmission Verification Report:
 

  • On: Prints a report after every fax you send.
     
  • On (+Image): Prints a report after every fax you send. A portion of the fax’s first page appears on the report.
     
  • Error only: Prints a report if your fax is unsuccessful due to a transmission error.
     
  • Error only (+Image): Prints a report if your fax is unsuccessful due to a transmission error. A portion of the fax’s first page appears on the report.
