Please note that with the firmware in your fax machine, selecting the Print Received Faxes option will cause all incoming faxes to be received to the fax machine's memory before being printed and then finally being uploaded to the PC. This use of the fax machine's memory will cause any incoming information such as subaddresses, signatures, selective polling numbers/passwords and data attachments to be ignored. For this reason, if you wish to automatically print copies of all received faxes on the fax machine, and also receive faxes containing subaddresses, data attachments, etc. , you should not select the Print Received Faxes option, but instead create a Routing Table entry to print all received faxes on the nominated fax machine or printer. Full details on Printing Received Faxes and Routing Table entries appear in Section 6. 12. 1 of the main LaserFAX User Guide.
