Making Forwarding Settings to Receive Faxes

You can make forwarding settings to up to five destinations, email addresses, shared folders, and/or another fax machine regardless of the sender or time. If you make settings to forward received faxes, first add the forwarding destinations to the contacts list. To forward to an email address, you also need to configure the email server settings beforehand.

Color documents cannot be forwarded to another fax machine. They are processed as documents that failed to be forwarded.

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

  • You can also print and/or save 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, 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 up to five forwarding destinations.

    Select Forward.

    Select Yes. To print the documents automatically while forwarding them, select Yes and Print instead.

    Destination > Add Entry, and then select forwarding destinations from the contacts list. You can specify up to five forwarding destinations.

    Tap Close to finish selecting forwarding destinations, and then tap Close.

    In Options When Forwarding Failed, select whether to print received documents or save them in the printer's Inbox when forwarding fails.

    Tap OK.

    Important:

    When the Inbox is full, receiving faxes is disabled. You should delete the documents from the inbox once they have been checked. The number of documents that have failed to be forwarded is displayed on the on the home screen, in addition to other unprocessed jobs.

    Note:

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

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

Note:
  • This completes making unconditional forwarding 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.

  • If you have selected a shared folder on a network or an email address as the forwarding destination, we recommend that you test if you can send a scanned image to the destination in the scan mode. Select Scan > Email, or Scan > Network Folder/FTP from the home screen, select the destination, and then start scanning.
