Set up backup fax
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the printer to
store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the printer is in an error
condition, or none of the faxes it receives.
The following backup fax modes are available:
On The default setting. When Backup fax is On, the printer stores all received
faxes in memory. This enables you to reprint up to eight of the most recently
printed faxes if they are still saved in memory.
NOTE: When printer memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed faxes
as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted faxes, the
printer stops answering incoming fax calls.
NOTE: If you receive a fax that is too large, such as a very detailed color
photo, it might not be stored in memory due to memory limitations.
On Error Only Causes the printer to store faxes in memory only if an error condition exists
that prevents the printer from printing the faxes (for example, if the printer
runs out of paper). The printer continues to store incoming faxes as long as
there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the printer stops
answering incoming fax calls.) When the error condition is resolved, the
faxes stored in memory print automatically, and then they are deleted from
memory.
Off Faxes are never stored in memory. For example, you might want to turn off
Backup fax for security purposes. If an error condition occurs that prevents
the printer from printing (for example, the printer runs out of paper), the
printer stops answering incoming fax calls.
NOTE: If backup fax is enabled and you turn the printer off, all faxes stored in
memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received while
the printer was in an error condition. You must contact the senders to ask them to
resend any unprinted faxes. For a list of the faxes you have received, print the Fax
Log. The Fax Log is not deleted when the printer is turned off.
