Received in memory

If the machine receives a fax under one of the following conditions, the machine will not be able to print the received fax and will store it in its memory. When the problem is resolved as described, the fax stored in memory is printed automatically.

  • Ink has run out:
    Replace the FINE Cartridge. Click here for instructions to replace an ink tank.

    Note
    • You can set the machine to forcibly print a received fax even if the ink has run out.
      However, part or all of the fax may not be printed since the ink has run out.
      Also, the contents of the fax will not be stored in memory.
      If the ink has already run out, we recommend that OFF be selected for Auto print in FAX user settings to store the received fax in memory. When you print the fax stored in memory manually, check the ink level and take the appropriate action. (Click here to check the ink tank status.) After that, select ON for Auto print, and the fax stored in memory will be printed automatically. Click here for instructions.

  • Media type is set to other than Plain paper:
    Set Media type to Plain paper. Click here for instructions to change the paper type and print the received faxes from memory.
