    Solution


    This machine enables you to automatically forward received fax documents to any desired destinations. If a received document satisfies the specified forwarding conditions, it is forwarded to the specified destination. You can also specify destinations to which received documents are forwarded that do not satisfy the forwarding conditions.

    NOTE
    • The maximum number of forwarding settings that you can store is 52 (12 for the imageCLASS MF8450C): 50 (10 for the imageCLASS MF8450C) with forwarding conditions and 2 without conditions.
    • You can set whether to print fax documents in case of forwarding errors, and whether to store them in memory.
    • If a forwarding error occurs when all of <Print Image>, <Store Image to Memory>, and <Memory Lock Settings> are set to <Off>, the received documents will be lost.
