Set up backup fax

Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the printer to store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the printer is in an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.

To set backup fax from the printer control panel

1.From the printer control panel display, touch Setup.

2.Touch Fax Setup.

3.Touch Preferences.

4.Touch Backup Fax Reception.

5.Touch the required setting.

On

The default setting. When Backup fax is On, the printer stores all received faxes in

 

memory. This enables you to reprint up to 30 of the most recently printed faxes if they are

 

still saved in memory.

 

NOTE: When printer memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives

 

new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the printer stops answering

 

incoming fax calls.

 

NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color photo, it might

 

not be stored in memory due to memory limitations.

 

 

On Error Only

Causes the printer to store faxes in memory only if an error condition exists that prevents

 

the printer from printing the faxes (for example, if the printer runs out of paper). The printer

 

continues to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory

 

becomes full, the printer stops answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is

 

resolved, the faxes stored in memory print automatically, and then they are deleted from

 

memory.

 

 

Off

Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn off Backup fax for

 

security purposes. If an error condition occurs that prevents the printer from printing (for

 

example, the printer runs out of paper), the printer stops answering incoming fax calls.

 

 

Reprint received faxes from memory

The received faxes that are not printed out are stored in memory.

NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the printer cannot receive the new fax until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might also want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.

Depending on the sizes of the faxes in memory, you can reprint up to 30 of the most recently printed faxes, if they are still in memory. For example, you might need to reprint your faxes if you lost the copy of your last printout.

To reprint faxes in memory from the printer control panel

1.Load paper in the main paper tray.

2.From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.
