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 Fax.
2. Touch 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 en-
ables 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.
Off Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn off 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.
