Print a report that will show a listing of faxes I sent and received.

The Fax Activity Report lists information about the last 200 incoming and outgoing faxes. Using this report, you can tell the date and time each fax was sent or received; the name or number the fax was sent to or received from, provided the Station I.D. has been set; and whether or not the transmission was successful. When the 201st fax is sent, the 1st fax is deleted from memory.



  • On the Fax Activity Report, TX indicates a fax you sent, while RX indicates a fax you received.


Setting the Fax Activity Report interval


You can set the machine to print the Fax Activity Report at regular intervals (Every 50 Faxes; Every 6, 12, or 24 Hours; Every 2 or 7 Days). The default setting is Every 50 Faxes.

You can also turn the Fax Activity Report interval off.



To set or change the interval at which the Fax Activity Report prints, follow these steps:


  1. Press Menu, 2 (Fax), 4 (Setup Reports), 2 (Act Interval).

  2. Press the ▲ or ▼ key to choose the interval you want to use.

    • If you choose Every 7 Days, the LCD will ask you to enter a day on which to begin the 7-day countdown.

    • If you choose Every 50 Faxes, the machine will print the Fax Activity Report when it has stored data for 50 faxes. Go to Step 6.

    • If you choose an interval other than Every 50 Faxes, the machine will print the report at the designated time and then erase all stored fax data from its memory.

    • If the machine's memory becomes full with 200 entries before the amount of time you chose has passed, then the Fax Activity Report will be printed early and all stored fax data will be erased from memory.

  3. Press the Set key.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • If you chose an interval other than Every 7 Days, go to Step 5.

    • If you chose Every 7 Days as your interval, press the ▲ or ▼ key to choose the day on which you want to start the 7-day countdown.

  5. Use the dial pad to enter the time in 24-hour format.

    • For example, enter 1, 9, 4, 5 for 7:45 PM.

  6. Press the Set key.

  7. Press the Stop/Exit key.

You can print the Fax Activity Report on demand by following these steps:


Printing the Fax Activity Report on demand will not erase the call data in the machine's memory.

  1. Press the Menu, 5 (Print Reports), 3 (Fax Activity).

  2. Press the Start key.

    • The machine will print the report.
