Receiving a Fax in the Memory of the Machine (Memory Receiving)

If the machine receives a fax under one of the following conditions, the machine will automatically store the received fax in its memory.
- Ink has run out while receiving a fax.
Replace the empty ink tank. The fax in memory will be automatically printed.
NOTE
You can set to print received faxes forcibly even if an ink has run out.
However, a part of contents or all contents of the fax may not be printed since the ink has run out. And also, the contents of fax will not be stored in memory.
In addition, if ink has already run out, it is recommended that OFF be selected for Auto print in User settings to store the received fax in memory once and print the fax manually after replacing the ink tank.
