Set up and use fax English Receive faxes You can receive faxes automatically or manually. Note: If you receive a legal-size or larger fax and the printer is not currently set to use legal-size paper, the printer reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have disabled the Automatic Reduction feature, the printer prints the fax on two pages. If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the printer's memory until the copying finishes. As a result, the number of fax pages that can be stored in memory might be reduced. Learn more! See the user guide for more information about the following topics: • Reprint received faxes from memory • Poll to receive a fax • Forward faxes to another number • Set the paper size for received faxes • Set automatic reduction for incoming faxes • Block junk fax numbers For information about finding the user guide, see "Where is the user guide?" on page 4.
