Receiving While Performing Other Tasks

The FAX is a multitasking device so it can receive faxes and voice calls while you are performing other tasks.

If the FAX cannot print a received fax because it is performing another task that prevents it from doing so, it will receive the fax in memory. Then, as soon as it completes the other task, the FAX automatically prints the received fax from memory.

Receiving Faxes in Memory When a Problem Occurs

If the FAX encounters a problem when it is receiving a fax, it automatically stores the unprinted pages of the fax in memory. It then displays REC’D IN MEMORY as well as one or more messages in the LCD. For an explanation of the message(s) and details on the action to take, see p. 13-8.

n• The FAX’s memory can store up to approximately 256 pages.*

•You can set the unit so that it does not store faxes in memory if a problem occurs during reception (1 MEMORY RX, p. 14-7).

•Once the problem is solved and the unit prints the received fax, it will delete the fax from memory.

•If the unit’s memory becomes full while receiving a fax in memory, you will not be able to receive the remaining pages. Contact the other party and ask them to resend the remainder of the fax.
