Substitute Reception is used when the machine cannot print any fax documents.
In Substitute Reception, a received fax document is stored in memory instead of being printed. Fax documents received using Substitute Reception are automatically printed when the condition which caused the machine to use Substitute Reception is rectified.
The Fax indicator lights up and “Substitute RX File” appears on Fax RX File Widget on the home screen to let you know when fax documents have been received using Substitute Reception.
Depending on why the machine cannot print, Substitute Reception might be used for all fax documents received, or for only those documents that match a condition specified in the User Parameters in the Fax Features menu.

In User Parameters (switch 05, bit 2, 1) on the Fax Features menu, specify the following conditions for Substitute Reception:
When own fax number is received
The machine switches to Substitute Reception only when the sender has programmed their own fax number. If the power is switched off for more than one hour, 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 fax number, the machine may fail to receive an important fax document. It is recommended that you ask important senders to program an own fax number in advance.
Free
The machine switches to Substitute Reception regardless of whether or not the sender has programmed their own fax number.
Disable
The machine does not receive any documents.
For details about Parameter Setting, see Parameter Settings.
Reception may not take place if there is not enough free memory.
If free memory reaches 0% during Substitute Reception, any further reception becomes impossible and the current communication is terminated.
