Functions
Batch Transmission
Batch transmission allows you to store multiple fax jobs in memory for
automatic transmission to one destination at a set time. If you often send
faxes to a particular destination, this function helps reduce telephone costs by
allowing you to conveniently send multiple faxes on one connection.
Note: If the telephone billing function is turned on, the batch transmission function
cannot be used.
Programming a Batch Key
To perform a batch transmission, you must first program the number of the
receiving machine and the time of transmission into a Batch Key. Any Rapid
Key which has not already been programmed can be used as a Batch Key.
If you specify a day-of-the-week in your program, the transmission will be
performed every week on that day. If you do not specify a day-of-the-week, the
transmission will be performed every day.
To program a Batch Key, follow the procedure for entering programs explained
in
Entering and Using Programs
on page 85. In Step 10 of the initial
procedure, select “Batch transmission”.
Clearing a Batch Key
To clear a Batch Key, follow the procedure on page 92.
Storing documents for transmission
Follow the steps below to store a document under a Batch Key for
transmission. When you store the document, it is given a message number to
distinguish it from other jobs stored in the same batch.
If no jobs have been stored under a Batch Key when the time for
transmission arrives, transmission will not take place.
