Reprint received faxes from memory

If you set the Backup fax mode to On, the received faxes are stored in memory,
whether the printer has an error condition or not.

NOTE: After the memory becomes full, the oldest, printed faxes are overwritten
as new faxes are received. If all the stored faxes are unprinted, the printer does not
receive any fax calls 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 eight 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. Make sure you have paper loaded in the main tray.

2. Touch right arrow , and then select Setup.

3. Touch Tools or Fax Tools, and then select Reprint Faxes in Memory.

The faxes are printed in the reverse order from which they were received with the
most recently received fax printed first, and so on.

4. If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, touch Cancel.

Poll to receive a fax

Polling allows the printer to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in its
queue. When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the printer calls the designated fax
machine and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine must be set for
polling and have a fax ready to send.

NOTE: The printer does not support polling pass codes. Polling pass codes are
a security feature that require the receiving fax machine to provide a pass code to
the printer it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the printer you are
polling does not have a pass code set up (or has not changed the default pass
code) or the printer cannot receive the fax.

To set up poll to receive a fax from the printer control panel

1. Touch Fax, and then select Fax Settings orOther Methods.

2. Touch Poll to Receive.

3. Enter the fax number of the other fax machine.

4. Touch Start Fax.

Forward faxes to another number

You can set up the printer to forward your faxes to another fax number. A received
color fax is forwarded in black and white.
