Various Methods for Receiving Faxes
You can receive incoming documents using various methods including Memory Reception and Substitute Reception.
Memory Reception
The machine stores the received document temporarily in its memory and then prints the document.
Substitute Reception
The machine stores the received documents automatically when it cannot perform printing.
When the machine receives a document by substitute reception, the Fax indicator lights up and "Substitute RX File" is displayed in the Fax RX File Widget. The documents received in Substitute Reception will be printed automatically when printing becomes possible on the machine.
