Polling Other Fax Machines to Receive Documents

store all documents in memory until you are ready to print them. Locking the machine to receive and store all documents in 
memory is called “Memory Lock.”
You may want to turn Memory Lock ‘ON’ when the machine is left unattended at night, or over long holidays, to prevent a 
large volume of printed documents from collecting in the paper output trays. After you return to the office, you can review 
the contents of the memory, and enter the memory lock password to print all of the documents stored in memory.
Turning Memory Lock ON and Setting the Password
After Memory Lock is turned ‘ON’, the machine automatically enters the Memory Lock mode. The documents received 
when the machine is in the Memory Lock mode are stored in memory until you unlock the memory with a password and 
print them.
Follow this procedure to turn the Memory Lock ‘ON’, and define the password.
