Memory Full Error Occurs
❏ If the printer has been set to save received faxes in the inbox, delete faxes you have already read from the inbox.
❏ If the printer has been set to save received faxes on a computer, turn on the computer that is set to save the
faxes. Once the faxes are saved in the computer, they are deleted from the printer's memory.
❏ If the printer has been set to save received faxes on a memory device, connect the device, in which you have
created a folder to save faxes, to the printer. Once the faxes are saved in the device, they are deleted from the
printer's memory. Make sure that the device has enough available memory and is not write protected.
❏ Even though the memory is full, you can send a monochrome fax by using the Direct Send feature. Or you can
also send a fax by dialing from the external phone device.
❏ If the printer cannot print a received fax due to a printer error, such as a paper jam, the memory full error may
occur. Clear the printer problem, and then contact the sender and ask them to send the fax again.
