Note
If you select Backup Print:On , the MFC
will also print the fax at your MFC so you will
have a copy. This is a safety feature in case
there is a power failure before the fax is
forwarded or a problem at the receiving
machine. The MFC-7820N can store faxes up
to 4 days if there is a power failure. The faxes
stored in the MFC-7420 memory will be
