TRANSFERRING RECEIVED FAXES TO ANOTHER MACHINE WHEN PRINTING IS NOT POSSIBLE (FORWARDING FUNCTION)

When printing is not possible because of a paper, toner, or other problem, you can transfer received faxes to another fax machine if that machine has been appropriately programmed in your machine. This function can be conveniently used in an office or other workplace where there is another fax machine connected to a different phone line. When a fax has been received to memory, the DATA light to the right of the IMAGE SEND key (See "If received data cannot be printed" on page 2-10.) blinks.

The result of transfer is indicated on an activity report. (See "VIEWING THE COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY REPORT" on page 7-3.)

To cancel transfer

Press the [JOB STATUS] key, and then cancel the transfer in the same way as a transmission. (See "CANCELING A FAX TRANSMISSION" on page 2-9.) The data that was going to be transferred will return to print standby status in your machine.

If the transfer is not possible because the line is busy or a transmission error occurs, the data returns to print standby status in your machine.
