Document Stored in Printer's Memory

The faxes will be stored in the printer's memory automatically when they are received. However, printer's memory has an upper limit on the number of faxes or subjects it can contain. When the printer's memory is full, faxes stored latest will overwrite those stored earliest.

By default, the received faxes will be printed automatically after they are received.

In the following cases, the received faxes are not printed. The unprinted faxes are not overwritten even if the printer receives the faxes anew.

  • Paper has run out.

  • A different size of paper from that specified by Page size in Fax paper settings is loaded.

  • Do not print is selected for Received documents in Auto print settings under Fax settings.

  • You pressed the Stop button to cancel printing of a received fax.

  • The amount of remaining ink is insufficient to print a fax.

  • The maintenance cartridge is full.

If the printer's memory is full with the unprinted faxes, the printer cannot receive the faxes. Check the FAX Memory lamp regularly, print the faxes, or forward them to the shared folder of a computer and delete them from the printer's memory.

Note

  • The printer can store up to max. 250 pages* (max. 30 documents) of faxes in the printer's memory.

    * When using ITU-T No.1 chart (Standard mode)

  • When confirming, printing, or deleting a document stored in the printer's memory, you specify it by its transaction number. If you do not know the transaction number for your target document, print the list of documents (MEMORY LIST) first.

    For details on how to print MEMORY LIST, see Printing Document in Printer's Memory.

  • 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.
