Set up backup fax
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the device to store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the device is in an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.
The following Backup fax modes are available:
On | The default setting. When Backup fax 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 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 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.
