Receiving Fax Messages When There Is a Problem
Overview
This feature is called Substitute Reception.
If the printer is jammed or out of supplies, you will still be able to receive fax
messages; any messages coming in will be stored in the machine’s memory.
If the "Receive File" indicator is lit, a message has been stored in the memory
using the Substitute Reception feature.
Check the following:
❐ The printer paper may be used up. If so, add paper: see page 126.
❐ The toner may have run out. If so, add toner: see page 127.
❐ The printer paper may have jammed. If so, remove the jam: see page 142.
❐ If there appears to be no problem, somebody may be making copies while a
fax message is coming in.
The messages received into memory will be printed and erased after the machine
has been returned to normal operation.
