Forwarding Settings to Receive Faxes with Specific Conditions

You can configure settings to forward faxes received from a specified sender or at a specified time to only a destination.

When multiple conditions (Conditional Save/Forward) are set, they are processed in order, and the Conditional Save/Forward that matches first is executed.

You can enable forwarding to either a destination, an email address, a shared folder, your cloud account or another fax machine.

Note:
  • Before you set up forwarding, add the forwarding destinations to the contacts list or the cloud destination list. See the table below for details.

Checking the Forwarding Destination

If you have selected a shared folder on a network, an email address, or a cloud account as the forwarding destination, we recommend that you test if you can send an image to the destination.

Select Scan > To Email or Scan > To Network Folder/FTP from the printer's control panel, select the destination, and then start scanning.

If you have selected a cloud account, you can perform a test by forwarding an image that has been saved in a fax box to the destination. Select Fax Box from the printer's control panel, and select a fax box in which an image has been saved. Select Send/Save > Forward(Cloud), select the destination, and then start forwarding.
