Then, the FAX-30 will receive facsimile broadcasts according to the timer
schedule. Facsimile images are received line by line, taking 30-40 minutes to
receive depending on the size of the image and drum rotation speed at the
facsimile station. After a facsimile image is received it is compressed and stored
in the image memory and then posted on the facsimile standby display screen.
This process takes 3-5 minutes.
