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).
• You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress. ("Storing transmission jobs (memory
Note
transmission)" (p.15))
• To print received fax pages on both sides of the paper, enable "DUPLEX RECEPTION SETTING" in the key
operator programs. (p.101)
To receive faxes, sufficient paper must be loaded in the paper tray. Refer to "LOADING
Caution
PAPER" in operation manual for copier to load appropriate paper. Incoming 8-½" x 11" and A4
size faxes will be automatically adjusted to the orientation of the printing paper, so there is no
need to load each size of paper both horizontally (
However, if you receive a fax that is smaller than 8-1/2" x 11" 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.

*Number of rings
The machine has been set to ring twice before beginning
automatic reception. The number of rings can be set to
any number from 0 to 9 in the key operator programs.

If the number of rings is set to 0, the machine will receive
faxes without ringing.

possible. The received fax are automatically printed when printing becomes possible.
When received faxes are held in memory, the data light next to the [FAX] key blinks.
You can also use the transfer function to have another fax machine print the received
faxes. ("FORWARDING RECEIVED FAXES TO ANOTHER MACHINE WHEN
PRINTING IS NOT POSSIBLE" (p.28))
