Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. Receive faxes to memory option might be enabled and all the faxes are been stored in the internal memory and not been printed. to retrieve them you can try printing from the memory. You can retrieve these faxes by changing the receive mode from main menu.
You can also see the operation guide for your Intellifax model 1860c from this link--

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Thanks

Either it needs toner/drum unit replaced or it's hungry for paper....is it displaying an error code?

page 56 of the quick start guide details retrieving faxes stored in memory.

No. And even if you could, it would simply list the # the fax was received from, and the # of pages. The actual fax is not retained.

Put paper in the paper tray and it will start printing msgs in memory

I find that you have to have the fax button lit up. If it is not lit up when a fax comes in, the fax is stored in the memory. You have to hit the fax button, go into the menu and go to memory reference, then the doc # of the item in memory should appear. You should then be able to print the stored fax. Hope this helps!
