Note: Your product can store up to 100 faxes before its inbox is full. • If you set the product to save received faxes on a computer, turn on the selected computer. Once the faxes are saved on the computer, they are deleted from the product's memory. • If you set the product to save received faxes on a USB device, connect the selected USB device containing the save fax folder to the product.

Note: Make sure the USB device has enough available memory and is not write protected. • If the memory is full, try sending a monochrome fax using the Direct Send feature or sending your faxes in smaller batches. • If the product cannot print a received fax due to a product error, such as a paper jam, the memory full error may appear. Clear any product errors, then ask the sender to resend the fax. Parent topic: Solving Faxing Problems 285
