RECEIVING FAXES
When another fax machine sends a fax to your machine, your machine will ring*, automatically receive the fax, and
begin printing (automatic reception).
NOTES
• You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress (refer to page 2-4).
• If an extension phone is connected to the machine, you can answer using the extension phone and then begin fax reception
(manual reception). This allows you to use the line for both voice calls and faxes. (Refer to page 5-5.)
• To receive faxes, sufficient paper must be loaded in the paper tray. Refer to pages 1-16 to 1-24 of "Operation manual (for
printer operation and general information)" to load appropriate paper. Incoming faxes will be automatically adjusted to the
orientation of the printing paper, so there is no need to load both horizontally and vertically oriented paper.
However, if you receive a fax that is smaller than 8-1/2"x11" size, the paper size used to print the fax will depend on how the
original was oriented (vertically or horizontally) in the sending fax machine.
RECEIVING A FAX
1
The machine will ring* and reception will
automatically begin.
NOTES
• If the fax is being sent manually and you have connected
an extension phone to the machine, you can lift the phone
before reception begins to talk with the other person.
■ If received data cannot be printed
If the machine runs out of paper or toner, or a paper jam occurs, print and copy jobs
that are in progress will be held in memory until printing becomes possible. The jobs
are automatically printed when printing capability is restored. When received data
is held in memory, the DATA light next to the IMAGE SEND key blinks.
You can also use the transfer function to have another fax machine print the received
data (refer to page 3-12).
NOTE
If the machine makes a double beep sound during reception or at the end of reception and an error message appears in the
display, clear the error as explained on page 7-3.
2
Reception ends.
When reception ends, the
machine makes a "beep"
sound.
The output tray for the
printed fax varies depending
on the output unit installed
on the machine.
NOTES
• If the machine has multiple output trays, the key operator
program can be used to change the output tray for fax
reception (page 8-8).
• If desired, you can set the machine to output a blank
sheet of paper after printing the last page of each received
fax job. This will help you distinguish where one reception
ends and another begins.
*Number of rings
The machine has been set to ring twice before begin-
ning automatic reception. You can use the key op-
erator program to change the number of rings to any
number from 0 to 15. (Refer to page 8-8.)
If the number of rings is set to 0, the machine will
receive faxes without ringing.
