Fax Features Getting Started
Using memory transmission
Your fax machine has a great memory! Take advantage of it, and you could:
Save Time. By using your fax machine’s memory, you won’t have to wait for your
machine while it completes the transmission. Simply scan your document into your
fax machine’s memory, and you can walk away with your original in hand.
Save Money. If you’re transmitting to another memory-equipped fax machine, your
machine will send the document directly into the other machine’s memory and hang
up. (The receiving machine then prints out your message from its memory after the
call has ended.) This cuts your actual on-line time to a minimum.
Save Even More Money. Set up a delayed command (see page 3.25) to send your
document after hours, and you can save more money, because the line charges will
be cheaper.
The default transmission mode when the machine is turned on or when modes are
cleared is memory transmission. You can change this setting, see below.
Note: Whether you decide to send your documents from memory or manually, you
can override that choice one transmission at a time by pressing
MEMORY TRANSMIT
before you send your document. After completing the
communication, your fax will return to the default setting.
Note: If you want to change the default setting of transmission mode, see “Memory
transmission,” on page 3.70.
Note: Some documents use up memory faster than others. They include
documents with many pages and those with many dark areas. When the
machine’s memory is full, it can only transmit through the document feeder.
Note: When you send a fax using the
FBS
glass, the memory transmission will be
used automatically, even if the memory transmission is not set.
If the
MEMORY TRANSMIT
light glows, memory transmission is on.
If the
MEMORY TRANSMIT
light doesn’t glow, memory transmission is off.

By pressing

, you’ve just given your machine a command. In turn, your
machine gives this action a command number as it scans the fax document.

You’ll need to know this command number if
you later wish to cancel the transmission or to
print a stored document (see pages 3.29–3.30).
