What does a NAVTEX receiver do when it runs out of paper?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — It will give off either an audible and/or visual alarm.
IMO performance standards for NAVTEX equipment require that the receiver provides an audible or visual alarm to alert the operator when the paper supply is exhausted or the printer fails. This ensures that the vessel does not inadvertently miss critical Maritime Safety Information (MSI) broadcasts.
