Receiving Faxes in the Memory

Since your printer is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while performing other tasks. If you receive a fax while you are copying, printing, or run out of

paper or toner, your printer stores incoming faxes in the memory. As soon as you finish copying, printing, or resupply the consumables, the printer

automatically prints the fax.
