Basic operation
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
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 it s memory after the call has
ended.) This cut s your actual on-line time to a minimum.
Save Even More Money.Set up a delayed transmission (see p age 3.10) to send your
document after hours, and you can save more money, because the line charges will be
cheaper.
Note: Some documents use up memory more quickly than others. They include
documents with many pages and those with many dark areas. When the
machine s memory is full, it can transmit only through the document feeder.
The memory transmission is O n for default setting. However, you can turn of f it for the
default. (See p age 4.2.)
Helpful tip: If you frequently turn this feature on and of f, you can set a Sof t key (see
page 3.16) to turn on or of f by simply pressing that key.
Memory overflow message
In normal memory transmission, if you ve stored too much information in your machine s
memory, a Memory Overflow message may appear on the
LCD
:
This appears because (1) too many pages have been stored in the memory, or (2) the
pages that are stored have too much information on them for your fax machine to
remember.
If this message appears, press
START
to tell your fax to keep as many p ages in memory
as possible, or press
CANCEL
to erase from memory all pages stored during the current
operation (but not previous operations).
Note: If you don t operate your machine within 60 seconds, the machine automatically
erase the document stored in the memory during the current operation.
Dividing a large document into smaller batches will help you avoid this error.
Quick memory transmission
Using Quick Memory transmission can save you time over standard memory transmis-
sions.
For a normal memory transmission, your fax: (1) scans your entire document into mem-
ory, (2) dials the other fax machine, then (3) transmit s the document.
But with Quick Memory transmission, your machine doesn t wait to scan all p ages into
memory before dialing. Af ter it scans the first p age of your document, your machine
dials the call. While dialing, connecting and transmitting, your fax machine continues to
scan in the remaining pages of the document.
The quick memory transmission is O n for default setting. However, you can turn of f it
for the default. (See p age 4.2.)
Important: To use Quick Memory transmission, the memory transmission feature
must be turned on.
Real time transmission (Non-memory transmission)
In the following cases, the machine does not use it s memory for sending a fax:
When you turned off the memory transmission
When you are sending a fax using
MONITO R
/
CALL
key or optional handset (see p age
2.6.)
When the machine s memory is full
It is called Real time transmission mode. In this mode, the next p age is not scanned in
while the current p age is being transmitted.
Note: In this mode, only one destination can be dialed.
Note: Real time transmission available only when using the
ADF
. When transmitting
use the
FBS
glass, the machine always uses Memory transmission mode even if
you set the memory transmission to off.
