FORWARDING RECEIVED FAXES
(Fax Data Forward)
When the machine cannot print because it is out of paper or out of toner, received faxes can be forwarded to another 
previously programmed fax machine.
This function is convenient in an office or work area that has two or more telephone lines and another fax machine is 
connected to a different line than the machine.
Forwarding of received faxes is executed in the system settings of the machine. Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key on 
the operation panel to display the system setting menu screen in the touch panel. Select [Fax Data Receive/Forward] - 
[Fax Settings], and then touch the key that executes received fax forwarding.
 If some pages of a fax that is being forwarded were successfully printed, only those pages that were not printed will be 
forwarded.
 A forwarded fax becomes a fax transmission job. If transmission does not take place because the transmission was 
cancelled or an error occurred, the fax will be held in memory until it can be printed.
 All faxes received are forwarded. Note, however, that faxes received to an F-code confidential memory box cannot be 
forwarded.
 If a password entry screen appears after touching the [OK] key, Hold Setting for Received Data Print has been enabled. 
Enter the password with the numeric keys to begin forwarding.
