Which of these cannot happen when a paper model NAVTEX receiver runs out of paper?

The correct answer highlights a key aspect of NAVTEX operation. When a paper model NAVTEX receiver runs out of paper, the receiver is not designed to automatically switch to another system like SafetyNET™ for message reception. The NAVTEX system operates independently and specifically handles the broadcasts of Maritime Safety Information (MSI). If the device runs out of paper, it cannot print the messages, which means any MSI messages that are transmitted during that time will not be documented by the unit nor passed on in any other way.

This means that the NAVTEX receiver will not seamlessly transition to SafetyNET™ or any other alternative means of message reception. Instead, it will simply stop alerting the user to new messages until the paper is replaced, making it crucial for operators to ensure that sufficient paper is available at all times to avoid missing critical maritime safety information. This understanding is crucial for effective maritime operations and emphasizes the importance of proper equipment maintenance.
