RECEIVING FAXES
When another fax machine sends a fax to your machine, your machine will ring*, automatically receive the fax, and
begin printing. (This is called automatic reception.)
If you do not wish to have received faxes printed immediately, use the print hold function to hold received faxes in
memory for printing at your convenience (all received faxes will be printed at once). To enable this function and print
received faxes, see "FAX PRINT HOLD FUNCTION" on page 30.
RECEIVING A FAX
1 The machine will ring* and reception
will automatically begin.
The LINE indicator lights up.
2 Reception ends.
• When reception ends, the
machine sounds a beep.
• When the optional job
separator tray kit is installed,
received faxes are output to
the job separator.
Earlier output of received data
If a fax cannot be printed because the machine is out of the appropriate paper and another fax is subsequently
received that can be printed, the subsequently received fax will be printed before the fax that cannot be printed.
This also happens when there are several faxes in memory that cannot be printed.
This function can be disabled in the key operator programs. (See "EARLIER OUTPUT" on page 106.)
LINE STATUS indicator
After a received fax is printed, the LINE STATUS indicator will blink while the printed fax
remains on the job separator tray. When the fax is removed from the tray, the indicator
stops blinking. If the job separator tray kit is not installed, the LINE STATUS indicator will
turn off when printing of the received fax is finished. The conditions under which the
indicator blinks and stops blinking vary depending on the settings in the key operator
programs. (See "FAX RECEPTION LIGHT" on page 103.)
• You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress. (See "Storing transmission jobs (memory
transmission)" on page 24.)
• To print received fax pages on both sides of the paper, enable "DUPLEX RECEPTION" (page 105) in the key
operator programs.
• If a extension phone is not connected to the machine, use automatic reception.
• In order to receive faxes, paper must be loaded in the paper tray. See "LOADING PAPER" in the "Operation
manual (for general information and copier)" to load appropriate paper. Incoming faxes will be automatically
adjusted to the orientation of the printing paper, so there is no need to load both horizontally (
) and vertically
( ) oriented paper. However, when a fax smaller than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is received, the size of paper used to
print the fax will differ depending on the orientation (horizontal or vertical) of the original in the sending
machine.
Note
*Number of rings
The machine has been set to ring twice before
beginning automatic reception. You can change the
number of rings to any number from 0 to 9 in the key
operator programs. (See "#OF RINGS AT. RX" on
page 104.)
If the number of rings is set to 0, the machine will
receive faxes without ringing.
The job separator has a sensor that detects
when a tray is full. When approximately 100
sheets accumulate in a tray, a message
appears in the display and fax printing
stops. If this happens, remove the sheets.
Printing will resume momentarily.
Note
If a removed fax is returned to the job separator tray, the LINE STATUS indicator
will not resume blinking.
