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.
If you use the fax capabilities, make sure sufficient ink remains in the ink tank in advance. In addition, we recommend you refill the ink tank early so that ink does not become insufficient while fax printing is in progress. Visually inspect the remaining ink in the printer's ink tank.
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.
