will be received into memory. If a
sending machine has a colour fax,
the MFC’s ‘handshake’ will
request that the fax be sent as
black and white. If the sending
machine has the ability to convert
it, the colour fax will be received
into memory as a black and white
fax.

sure it is in the proper position. If the error
remains, check the media drive by inserting
another media card that you know is working.

are running out of ink. If a sending
machine has a colour fax, the
MFC’s ‘handshake’ will request
that the fax be sent as black and
white. If the sending machine has
the ability to convert it, the colour
fax will be received into memory
as a black and white fax.
