Using fax forwarding
You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at your product, it is stored in memory. Then your product dials the fax number you have specified and sends the fax. If it cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example, the number is busy) and repeated attempts to redial are unsuccessful, your product will print the fax.
If the product runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it will terminate the incoming fax and only forward the pages and partial pages already stored in memory.
When using this feature, the product must be the one receiving faxes (not the computer) and the answer mode must be set to Automatic (see Changing how the product answers incoming faxes).
