Receiving Faxes
Receiving While Performing Other Tasks
The FAX is a multitasking device so it can receive faxes and voice calls while you are
performing other tasks.
If the FAX cannot print a received fax because it is performing another task that
prevents it from doing so, it will receive the fax in memory. Then, as soon as it
completes the other task, the FAX automatically prints the received fax from memory.
Receiving Faxes in Memory When a
Problem Occurs
If the FAX encounters a problem when it is receiving a fax, it automatically stores the
unprinted pages of the fax in memory. It then displays REC’D IN MEMORY as well as
one or more messages in the LCD. For an explanation of the message(s) and details
on the action to take, see p. 13-8.

• The FAX’s memory can store up to approximately 256 pages.*
• You can set the unit so that it does not store faxes in memory if a problem occurs during
reception (1 MEMORY RX, p. 14-7).
• Once the problem is solved and the unit prints the received fax, it will delete the fax from
memory.
• If the unit’s memory becomes full while receiving a fax in memory, you will not be able to
receive the remaining pages. Contact the other party and ask them to resend the
remainder of the fax.
Cancelling Receiving

1 Press Stop.
• The FAX asks you to confirm that you
want to cancel receiving.
2 Press T to cancel receiving.
• Receiving is not cancelled until you
press T.
