Receiving a Fax (5-11)

An incoming fax is received by your C50 and can be uploaded to the Desktop

Manager. The uploaded fax is stored in the In Box folder for your review. A

ﬂashing arrow next to the folder name signals that you have received a new

incoming fax. Once you open the folder to review the newly received fax, the

ﬂashing arrow no longer appears until another fax is received.

If your computer is turned on when the C50 receives a fax, the Desktop Manager

handles the fax by one of the following methods, based on how you deﬁned the

setup options:

JPrint the fax directly from the C50

If you prefer, you can set the C50 to automatically print incoming faxes and

not upload the faxes to the Desktop Manager.

JUpload the fax to the Desktop Manager

Any received faxes are moved automatically to the Desktop Manager. By

uploading a fax, you store a copy of the fax in the Desktop Manager. In the

Desktop Manager you can then review, annotate, print, or resend the fax to

another recipient.

If your computer is turned off when the C50 receives a fax, the C50 handles the

fax by one of the following methods, based on how you deﬁned the setup options:

JPrint the fax directly from the C50

If your computer is going to be off for a while or you are expecting many

incoming faxes, we recommended that you set the C50 to automatically print

incoming faxes. This recommended setting allows you to leave the computer

off for a period of time and still be assured of receiving your faxes. You can

always later scan a printed fax to the Desktop Manager.

JSave the fax in C50 memory

If you set the C50 to save a fax in memory, the fax can later be printed

directly to the C50, or sent to Desktop Manager when your computer is

turned on. Once a fax is printed, it is erased from the memory of the C50.

When a fax is saved in C50 memory, a message appears in the LCD display on

your C50.

To move received faxes to the Desktop Manager:

1. Turn on your computer and start Windows.

2. Open the Desktop Manager.

The faxes are automatically moved to the In Box folder in the Desktop Manager.

The numbers in parentheses indicate the pages in the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows User’s Guideon
