6. Click the arrow button on IOC and choose desired IOC. IOC stands Index of
Cooperation and is the line density standard assigned by WMO: IOC 576,
high density, IOC 288, low density. If you are unsure of the IOC, choose

minutes earlier than actual start time to allow for detection of the start signal
and press the ENTER soft key.

and end times of program no. 1 are 01:00 and 02:00 and those of
program no. 2 are 01:30 to 3:00, program no. 2 will be disregarded.

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.
