Storing Forwarding Settings

You can set the machine to forward received fax/I-fax documents to other machines or the file servers. If a received document matches the forwarding conditions, it is forwarded to the specified destination. This section explains forwarding conditions and how to register, change, and erase forwarding destinations.
Document Handling under Forwarding Settings
*1 If Forward w/o Cond. is enabled, all received documents that do not match the forwarding conditions are forwarded to the destination selected for Forward w/o Cond.
*2 I-fax/fax documents with forwarding errors stored in memory can be confirmed, deleted, printed, and forwarded to the destinations registered in the One-touch Buttons or the Address Book from the I-Fax or Fax Forwarding Error Status Screen on the System Monitor screen. (Checking / Changing the Status of Documents in Memory) However, if a forwarding error occurs when Memory Lock is set to ‘On’, the error job appears on the Forwarding Error Status Screen when Memory Lock is turned ‘Off’.
*3 If Print Image in Store/Print When Forwarding in System Settings is set to ‘For Error Only,’ documents with forwarding errors are printed. If Print Image in Store/Print When Forwarding in System Settings is set to ‘On,’ all of the forwarded documents (including those with forwarding errors) are printed. However, if Memory Lock is set to ‘On’, forwarded documents are printed when Memory Lock is set to ‘Off’.
*4 Documents stored in memory can be confirmed, deleted, and forwarded to the destinations registered in the One-touch Buttons or the Address Book from the I-FAX Memory Lock Document screen (I-Fax) or RX Job Status screen (fax) on the System Monitor screen. (Checking / Changing the Status of Documents in Memory)
*5 If documents are received while paper is jammed, or paper or toner has run out, they are printed after the paper jam is cleared, paper is loaded, or toner is replaced.
IMPORTANT
This setting is available only when the Send function (optional for the imageRUNNER 2545/2535/2530/2525/2520) is activated or the optional Super G3 Fax Board-AG1 is attached to the machine.
If the Language Switch setting is set to ‘On’, some characters are restricted and cannot be entered. To enter all characters, set the Language Switch setting to ‘Off’. (Configuring the Machine's Basic Settings)
If a blackout occurs or the machine is turned OFF while the machine is receiving the documents to be forwarded, the received documents are not forwarded to the specified destination. These documents are printed after the power is turnd ON.
NOTE
The maximum number of forwarding settings that you can store is 12: ten settings with forwarding conditions, and one fax and one I-fax forwarding jobs without conditions.
You can set whether to print I-fax/fax documents with forwarding errors, and whether to store them in memory. (Handling Forwarding Documents)
When Print Image and Memory Lock are set to ‘Off’ and Store Image to Memory is set to ‘Do Not Store’, the received documents will be lost if a forwarding error occurs.
