The machine will carry on receiving the fax,
with the remaining pages being stored in
memory, if enough memory is available.
Further incoming faxes will also be stored into
memory until the memory is full. When the
memory is full the machine will stop
automatically answering calls. To print the
faxes, put fresh paper in the tray.
