Storing Forwarding Settings (Fax)

Return to Overview

You can register the forwarding conditions and the forwarding destinations. If the machine receives fax documents matching the registered conditions, the documents are automatically sent to the specified destination. You can also specify forwarding destinations for received documents that do not match the forwarding conditions.
To be able to forward received documents, you need to specify the forwarding settings in this section, then activate the settings. (See "Activating the Registered Forwarding Settings (Fax).")
