Set up backup fax
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the printer to store all the faxes it
receives, only the faxes it receives while the printer is in an error condition, or none of the faxes it receives.
To set backup fax from the printer control panel
1. From the printer control panel display, touch Setup .
2. Touch Fax Setup .
3. Touch Preferences .
4. Touch Backup Fax Reception.
5. Touch the required setting.
On The default setting. When Backup fax is On , the printer stores all received faxes in memory. This
enables you to reprint up to 30 of the most recently printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.
NOTE: When printer memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes as it receives new
faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the printer stops answering incoming fax
calls.
NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color photo, it might not be
stored in memory due to memory limitations.
On Error Only Causes the printer to store faxes in memory only if an error condition exists that prevents the
printer from printing the faxes (for example, if the printer runs out of paper). The printer continues
to store incoming faxes as long as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the
printer stops answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the faxes stored
in memory print automatically, and then they are deleted from memory.
O Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn o Backup fax for security
purposes. If an error condition occurs that prevents the printer from printing (for example, the
printer runs out of paper), the printer stops answering incoming fax calls.
Reprint received faxes from memory
The received faxes that are not printed out are stored in memory.
NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the printer cannot receive the new fax until you print or delete the
faxes from memory. You might also want to delete the faxes in memory for security or privacy purposes.
Depending on the sizes of the faxes in memory, you can reprint up to 30 of the most recently printed faxes, if
they are still in memory. For example, you might need to reprint your faxes if you lost the copy of your last
printout.
To reprint faxes in memory from the printer control panel
1. Load paper in the main paper tray.
2. From the printer control panel display, touch Fax .
3. Touch Reprint.
The faxes are printed in the reverse order from which they were received with the most recently received
fax printed rst, and so on.
4. If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, touch (Cancel).
