Print a report that will show a listing of faxes I sent and received.
The Fax Journal 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 ID has been set), and whether or not the transmission was successful. When the 201st fax is sent or received, the 1st fax is deleted from memory.
On the Fax Journal, TX indicates a fax you sent, while RX indicates a fax you received.
