FORWARDING RECEIVED DATA

FORWARDING RECEIVED INTERNET FAX DATA (FAX DATA FORWARD)

When the machine cannot print because it is out of paper or out of toner, received Internet faxes are forwarded to another previously registered Internet fax address (including direct SMTP).

  • Forwarding is not possible if no faxes were received or a forwarding fax number is not programmed.
  • If some pages of a fax that is being forwarded were successfully printed, only those pages that were not printed will be forwarded.
  • If forwarding was not successful because the transmission was cancelled or a communication error occurred, the faxes that were to be forwarded will return to the print queue on the machine.
  • If a PIN Code entry screen appears after tapping the [OK] key, "Hold Setting for Received Data Print" has been enabled. Enter the PIN Code using the numeric keys to begin forwarding.

FORWARDING RECEIVED DATA TO PRESET DESTINATIONS (INBOUND ROUTING SETTINGS)

Received data can be forwarded to the specified destinations without being printed.

In setting mode (Web version), configure the inbound routing settings. For the procedure for accessing the setting mode (Web version), see Start Guide.
