Receiving Faxes
Your machine automatically receives faxes in colour from fax machines with colour capability. When
receiving a fax, the machine detects if the incoming fax is a colour or black & white transaction and prints the
fax accordingly.

The machine provides you with several modes for receiving faxes. Once you have decided which mode is
suitable for your needs, set the mode as described in the Quick Start Guide. You can change the mode when
the machine is in standby mode. To determine which mode best suits your requirements, refer to the table
