Receiving Faxes While Performing Other Tasks
Since the machine is a multitasking device, it can receive faxes and voice calls while you are performing other tasks.
•If you receive a fax while you are performing certain tasks, the machine stores the incoming fax in the memory. Then, as soon as you finish your task, the machine automatically prints the fax. You can receive a fax while performing the following tasks:
-Printing
-Scanning (Scan mode)*
-Scanning to send a fax*
-Printing reports or lists
-Copying
* Starts printing the fax as soon as the machine receives it, while performing these tasks.
•You cannot receive a fax while sending a fax.
Receiving Faxes in the Memory When a Problem Occurs
If the machine encounters a problem when it is receiving a fax, the machine automatically stores the unprinted pages of the fax in the memory, and the LCD displays <RECEIVED IN MEMORY> as well as one or more messages. When the problem is cleared, the machine automatically prints the fax which was stored in the memory. For an explanation of the message(s) and details on the action to take, see "LCD Messages," on p.
NOTE
•The machine memory can store up to 20 fax jobs or approximately 256 pages.*
*Based on the condition that the other party sends the fax by the LaserBase MF5750/MF5770 with Canon Fax Standard Chart No. 1, standard mode. The maximum number of pages that the machine's memory can store differs depending on the other party's machine.
•Once the pages are printed, they are deleted from the memory.
•If the memory becomes full, you will not be able to receive the remaining pages. Contact the other party and ask them to resend the remaining pages of the fax.
