If youve set FAX STORAGE to ON, the machine automatically prints fax messages as they are
received into memory. This is a safety feature in case the power goes out so you wont lose the
messages.

When Fax Forwarding and Fax Storage are set to ON, the machine stores the received fax in
memory, then dials the fax machine phone number youve programmed, and forwards the fax
message.

If there are faxes in memory when you turn the Fax Storage OFF, the screen
prompts you to erase any faxes in memory.
If you press 1, all fax data is erased and Fax Storage is turned OFF. If the fax data
in memory has not been printed before, it will be printed first, and then erased. If
you press 2, data is not erased, and Fax Storage remains ON.
You cannot use Fax Forwarding when Fax Storage is set to OFF.
