Chapter 5 Sending Fax Documents 5-11
Normally you do not need to select a starting speed. When you
send a document, the MultiPASS 1000 automatically tries to send
at the fastest speed possible (9600 bps). If there is a lot of noise on
the line, the MultiPASS 1000 automatically reduces the sending
speed for the best transmission.
If you know that the telephone line over which you will be sending
has a lot of noise that may interfere with transmission, you will
want to set the transmission speed. You can specify one of the
following speeds: 9600 bps or 4800 bps.
When you set the starting speed, the MultiPASS 1000 also allows
you to select a long distance setting. You can choose from four long
distance settings: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Always try setting 1, LONG DISTANCE, first. If you have problems
transmitting your documents, you can try the other settings: LONG
DISTANCE 2
and LONG DISTANCE 3. Keep trying different settings
until you correct the problem.
Choosing 0, LONG DISTANCE 0, turns off the long distance feature.
For details on how to send a document, either confidentially or to a
Canon relay fax machine, see Chapter 10, Special Sending Procedures.
Transmitting the Document
When the MultiPASS 1000 begins sending the document, the LCD
displays:
❏ The MultiPASS 1000 beeps each time it successfully sends the
document to a destination.
❏ The MultiPASS 1000 automatically redials if a receiving fax
does not answer or if the line is busy. (You can specify the
number of times it redials; see Auto Redial on page 5-17.)
❏ The MultiPASS 1000 erases the document from memory after
sending it.
❏ If an error occurs during sending, the MultiPASS 1000 beeps
intermittently for a few seconds. If this occurs, try sending the
document again.
❏ To interrupt sending to all destinations you dialed, press
STOP. You may need to lift the operation panel to remove the
document. If so, be sure to close the operation panel and press
STOP again.
❏ If the ALARM light is flashing for any reason, correct the
problem and then press STOP. If necessary, refer to Chapter 14,
Troubleshooting.
