The following Backup Fax Reception modes are available:

On

 

The default setting. When Backup Fax Reception is On, the device stores

 

 

 

all received faxes in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of the

 

 

 

most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: When device memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes

 

 

 

as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the

 

 

 

device 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 device to store faxes in memory only if an error condition exists

 

 

 

that prevents the device from printing the faxes (for example, if the device

 

 

 

runs out of paper). The device continues to store incoming faxes as long

 

 

 

as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the device 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 Reception for security purposes. If an error condition occurs

 

 

 

that prevents the device from printing (for example, the device runs out of

 

 

 

paper), the device stops answering incoming fax calls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: If Backup Fax Reception is enabled and you turn off the device, all faxes stored in memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received while the device was in an error condition. You must contact the senders to ask them to resend any unprinted faxes. For a list of the faxes you have received, print the Fax Log. The Fax Log is not deleted when the device is turned off.

Reprint received faxes from memory

If you set the Backup Fax Reception mode to On, the received faxes are stored in memory, whether the device has an error condition or not.

NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten as new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the device does not receive any fax calls until you print or delete the faxes from memory. You might also want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.
