Out of Paper Reception

As soon as the paper tray becomes empty during fax reception, the screen will display No Paper Fed, asking you to put paper in the paper tray. (See Loading paper and other print media on page 8.)

The machine will carry on receiving the fax, with the remaining pages being stored in memory, if enough memory is available.

Further incoming faxes will also be stored into memory until the memory is full. When the memory is full the machine will stop automatically answering calls. To print the faxes, put fresh paper in the tray.
