    • : Standing by.
    • : Checking for new faxes.
    • : Importing new faxes is complete.

  2. Right-click the icon, and then click View Receiving Fax Record.

    The Receiving Fax Record screen is displayed.

  3. Check the date and the sender in the list, and then open the file received as a PDF or TIFF.

    Note:

    • Received faxes are automatically renamed using the following naming format.

      YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_xxxxxxxxxx_nnnnn (Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute/Second_sender’s number)

    • You can also open the received fax folder directly when you right-click the icon. For details, see Optional Settings in the FAX Utility or see its help (displayed on the main window).

While the fax icon indicates that it is standing by, you can check for new faxes instantly by selecting Check new faxes now.
