Memory Reception

The printer prints the received fax automatically by default. And furthermore, the printer stores the received fax in its memory. When the faxes are stored in the printer's memory, the FAX Memory lamp is lit or flashes.

In the following conditions, the received fax is not printed automatically, only is stored in the printer's memory. Then Fax received. Saved in memory. is displayed at the Fax standby screen.

  • When Do not print is selected for Received documents in Auto print settings under Fax settings

  • An error has occurred on the printer:

    If you select Print for Received documents in Auto print settings under Fax settings, a received fax will be printed automatically. However, if any of the following errors occurs, the received fax will not be printed. It will instead be stored in the printer's memory.

    When the error is resolved, the fax stored in the printer's memory is printed automatically.

    • Paper has run out:

      Load the paper and select OK on the touch screen.

    • A different size of paper from that specified by Page size in Fax paper settings is loaded:

      Load the same size of paper as that specified by Page size in Fax paper settings, and then select OK on the touch screen.

    • The amount of remaining ink is insufficient to print a fax:

      Refill ink tanks.

      Note

      • When the fax remains in the printer memory, you can reprint it after refilling the ink tanks.

  • You pressed the Stop button to cancel printing of a fax:

    Press HOME button and select FAX to resume printing of the fax.

Important

  • When the printer's memory is full, the faxes stored latest overwrite those stored earliest. However, the unprinted faxes are not overwritten.

  • If the printer's memory is full with the unprinted faxes, the printer cannot receive the faxes. Check the FAX Memory lamp regularly, print the faxes, and delete them from the printer's memory.

  • If you unplug the power cord, all faxes stored in the printer's memory are deleted. The next time you turn the printer on, press the OK button after a confirmation screen is displayed. The list of the faxes deleted from the printer's memory (MEMORY CLEAR REPORT) will be printed.

Note

  • The printer can store up to max. 250 pages* (max. 30 documents) of faxes in the printer's memory.

    * When using ITU-T No.1 chart (Standard mode)

  • If the printer's memory becomes full during memory reception, only pages which already have been received are stored in the memory. Print the received faxes stored in the printer's memory, save them on the USB flash drive, and then delete them from the printer's memory and have the sender resend the faxes.

Information on Received Faxes

By default, received faxes will be printed immediately after they are received.

In addition, faxes will be stored in the printer's memory automatically when they are received.

However, the printer's memory has an upper limit on the number of faxes or subjects it can contain. When the amount of stored fax reaches the upper limit of the printer's memory, faxes stored latest will overwrite those stored earliest.

Moreover, we recommend you check printed pages immediately after faxes are received. If a fax remains in the printer's memory, you can reprint it after refilling the ink tank.

If [Do not print] is selected for [Received documents] on [Auto print settings] under [Fax settings] on the operation panel of the printer, received faxes will not be printed immediately. Instead, faxes are stored in the printer's memory automatically and you can select and print those stored from the printer's memory. In this setting, the printer does not receive faxes if the printer's memory reaches its upper limit. Thus, stored faxes are not overwritten automatically.
