A system overrides a low material mode in a facsimile environment. A transmitter initiates a transmission and transmits a job of image data. A receiver establishes the transmission and receives the job of image data. The receiver determines an amount of marking material available and produces a low material signal indicating a low marker material status when the amount of marking material is below a predetermined value. The receiver transmits a low marking material signal to the transmitter, and the transmitter, in response to the low marking material signal, transmits information relating to an amount of marking material for the job of image data. The receiver enables the rendering of the job of image data when it is determined that the amount of marking material for the job of image data is less than the amount of marking material available.
