What Do I Want the Message Center to Do?
There are six of ways to allocate the flexible Message Center memory, depending upon which best
fits your needs.
You may need to use only one mode on a regular basis, but periodically change modes to meet high
or low message days. The six modes are as follows;
The factory setting is FAX: OFF/TAD: ON.
* Use 2) FAX; ON, TAX); EXT. and 3) FAX: ON, TAD: OFF mode when you want all available
memory to be used to store fax messages {for Fax Forwarding or Paging and Remote Retrieval).
Keep Backup Printing turned ON to get a printed copy (see page 10-11).
* Even when you set FAX: OFF mode (4) ~ 6)), you can use Quick-Scan and Broadcasting as usual.
