Printing a Received E-mail Attachment (E-mail RX Print)

- The setting value is not case sensitive. Characters other than a setting value are invalid.
- To specify multiple setting values, delimit them using ", (comma)".
- If multiple setting values are specified in the same item, the setting value entered first is applied.
- If the copy program is specified, its settings are prioritized, and other individual settings are disabled.
