Press Mono Fax Start. The machine starts scanning the document and the screen displays the
job number (#XXX) of the fax, and how much memory is available. When the machine starts
dialling you can immediately repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the next fax.
When you send a colour fax, the machine starts sending the fax without scanning
the original into memory.
Your machine normally operates in Dual Access mode. However, when you
send a colour fax, the machine always starts sending the fax without scanning
the original into memory (Real Time Transmission).
The number of pages you can scan into memory varies with the data they
contain.
