Making Saving Settings to Receive Faxes

You can make saving settings to receive faxes to the inbox and an external memory device regardless of the sender or time. Saving a fax to the inbox allows you to confirm the contents of the received fax by viewing the fax on the printer's LCD screen before the printer prints the fax.

To make settings to save received faxes to a computer using the PC-FAX feature, see Feature: PC-FAX Send/Receive (Windows/Mac OS).

Note:
  • As well as using the printer's control panel, you can use Web Config to make saving settings to receive faxes. Select the Fax tab > Save/Forward Settings > Unconditional Save/Forward, and then make the saving destination settings in Fax Output.

  • You can also print and/or forward the received faxes at the same time. Make the settings on the Fax Output screen mentioned above.

  1. Select Settings on the printer's control panel, and then select General Settings > Fax Settings.

  2. Select Receive Settings > Save/Forward Settings > Unconditional Save/Forward.

    When a message is displayed, check the content, and then tap OK.

  3. Make settings for the saving destinations, the inbox and/or an external memory device.

    • To save received faxes to the Inbox:
      Select Save to Inbox to set this to On.
      If a message is displayed, check the content, and then select OK.
    • To save received faxes to an external memory device:
      Insert a memory device into the printer's external interface USB port.
      Select Save to Memory Device.
      Select Yes. To print the documents automatically while saving them in the memory device, select Yes and Print instead.
      Check the message that is displayed, and then tap Create.
      A folder for saving received documents is created in the memory device.
      Check the message, tap Close or wait until the message is cleared, and then tap Close.
      When the next message is displayed, check it, and then tap OK.
      Important:

      Received documents are saved in the printer's memory temporarily before the documents are saved in the memory device connected to the printer. Because a memory full error disables sending and receiving faxes, keep the memory device connected to the printer.

    Note:

    You can set the printer to send emails to people you want to notify about the results of saving faxes, when saving is complete. As necessary, select Email Notifications, set the processes, and then set the destination to which you want to send notifications.

  4. Select Close to complete the Unconditional Save/Forward Settings.

This completes making unconditional saving settings to receive faxes. You can set Common Settings as necessary. For details, see the explanation for Common Settings in the Save/Forward Settings menu.

Note:

If you want to save received faxes with conditions, see the related information link below.
