In User Parameters (switch 05, bit 2, 1) on the Fax Features menu, specify the following conditions for Substitute Reception:
When Own Name or Own Fax Number is received
The machine switches to Substitute Reception only when the sender has programmed their Own Name or Own Fax Number. If the power is switched off for more than twelve hours, all the documents stored in memory are deleted. In this case, the Journal can be used to identify the senders of the deleted documents, so you can ask them to resend.
If a sender has not programmed their Own Name or Own Fax Number, the machine may fail to receive an important fax document. It is recommended that you ask important senders to program an Own Name or Own Fax Number in advance.
Free
The machine switches to Substitute Reception regardless of whether or not the sender has programmed their Own Name or Own Fax Number.
Disable
