Set up backup fax
Depending on your preference and security requirements, you can set up the device to
store all the faxes it receives, only the faxes it receives while the device 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 device 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 device memory is low, it overwrites the oldest, printed
faxes as it receives new faxes. If the memory becomes full of unprinted
faxes, the device 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 device to store faxes in memory only if an error condition
exists that prevents the device from printing the faxes (for example, if the
device runs out of paper). The device continues to store incoming faxes
as long as there is memory available. (If the memory becomes full, the
device 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 device from printing (for example, the device runs out of
paper), the device stops answering incoming fax calls.
NOTE: If Backup fax is enabled and you turn off the device, all faxes stored in
memory are deleted, including any unprinted faxes that you might have received
while the device 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 device is turned off.
