Cannot print received faxes

My machine is receiving faxes but won't print them. The display shows "Memory received." I went through the steps shown in the manual to print faxes when the machine is in secure mode, but something is missing from my display. From the manual it appears that beneath the words "Secure mode" there is supposed to be more text, which you are supposed to be able to scroll through using the right and left arrow keys. On my machine that area is blank.

I also tried clearing the machine's memory and doing a complete reset. Neither process seems to work. So I've got faxes that are stuck in memory that can neither be printed nor deleted. And I can't turn off Secure Mode, which I don't need and never intentionally turned on.

This machine cost us $1000 and has always been a huge disappointment. It doesn't surprise me that Xerox discontinued this model.

    Update: I tried installing the ControlCentre software and running a firmware update. This cleared the memories but didn't fix the real problems. Still no luck printing received faxes or changing settings for Secure Mode.

    The technician access code you provided, and the subsequent complete reset, fixed the problem. That was really all I needed.

    Perhaps I didn't spell it out clearly in my post but, prior to that reset, I had no access to the Secure Receive submenu. I had been through the menus as you describe in your post but when I got to Secure Receive, there was nothing displayed on the bottom half of the LCD. After using your technician code and complete reset, I can see all the Secure Receive options and use the right/left arrows to scroll through them. I am back in business!

    This is the sort of info I could never hope to get for free from Xerox. They have really burned their bridges with me as a potential future customer.

Our fax machine - panasonic model fp-342 can't received fax due to error display "fax memory full" . How can i fix that?

This fax machine stores the faxes in memory and then prints them out.

If it's unable to print them, is either because there is no paper or no ink.
The memory eventually gets full and stops receiving faxes.

On my Canon MX310, the display says "Waiting for Report". Fax Memory is clear, but the In Use/Memory light stays on.

Try this step ... found it on Canon's website

Issue: ERROR LCD: WAITING FOR REPORT
Solution: Set [AUTO PRINT RX] to ON (MX300 / MX310)

AUTO PRINT RX When [AUTO PRINT RX] is set to [OFF], incoming received faxes will be temporarily stored to memory and transaction reports (TX, RX and Activity) remain in memory. The default setting is [ON], which means incoming received faxes and transaction reports will automatically print. The fax machine will not automatically print a received fax and will store it in memory in the following conditions.
  • Ink is low or has run out
  • The paper size and type is not set correctly
  • Paper has run out
  • The Output Tray is closed
To set AUTO PRINT to ON, please follow these steps.
  1. Press the <FAX> button to enter the Fax menu.

  2. Press the <Menu> button. [FAX SETTINGS] is displayed

  3. Press the left or right arrow button to select [RX SETTINGS] , then press <OK> two times.

  4. Press the left arrow to select [ON], then press <OK>.

    Note: When AUTO PRINT RX is set ON, a sub-menu will appear to PRINT WHEN NO INK.

  5. At sub-menu PRINT WHEN NO INK, decide if you'd like the machine to continue to print incoming received faxes if ink is low.

    CAUTION: When this option is set ON, the fax machine will not monitor the ink level of the ink cartridges. If ink is low or out, received faxes will print with streaks or blank. Furthermore, once the fax is printed, it will be deleted from memory.
    1. To print received faxes when ink is low or out, press the left or right arrow to select [ON] and then press <OK>.
    2. To store received faxes in memory when ink is low or out, press the left or right arrow to select [OFF] and then press <OK>.

  6. Press the <Stop/Reset> repeatedly to return to Fax standby mode.
