Setting Items

(Continued)

Note

  • When [On] is specified for "Store", more memory space is used as the number of saved documents increases. After memory space becomes insufficient, no more documents are saved on the hard disk. Based on the bit number 7 setting of the switch number 10, the machine prints and deletes the stored documents starting from the one with the oldest stored date; or deletes them without printing and prints the Reception File Erased Report. When memory space becomes insufficient, delete the stored documents.

  • When [On] is specified for "Store", you can specify the parameter setting (the bit number 0 of the switch number 40) to stop the machine automatically receiving new faxes when available memory space runs too low.
