Memory Transmission mode (Transmitting from the
Document Processor)
The destination fax number is dialed automatically AFTER
the documents are set in the Document Processor, scanned
and then entered into memory. This is an extremely
convenient mode because your documents are returned to
you, ready to use, without making you wait until the actual
transmission is complete. This is the most appropriate
method to use when transmitting multiple page documents.
z Memory Transmission mode (Transmitting from the platen)
This mode is ideal for transmitting books and the like that
cannot be placed in the Document Processor. Documents are
set one at a time directly on the platen and, after all the
documents are scanned and entered into memory, the
destination fax number is then dialed. In this case, it is
necessary – after each page is scanned – to select whether or
not you want to transmit more pages. (Refer to <If the
Documents Were Set on the Platen...> on page 2-6.)
z Direct Feed Transmission mode (Transmitting from the
Document Processor)
The destination fax number is dialed first, and – once the
connection with the other fax machine is established – the
documents that are set in the Document Processor are
scanned and then transmitted. If the transmission involves a
multi-page document, the second page is scanned after the
data for the first page is transmitted.
* If you want to stop the transmission in progress, press the
Stop/Clear key and remove the remaining documents from
the Document Processor.
z Direct Feed Transmission mode (Transmitting from the
platen)
This mode is ideal for transmitting books and the like that
cannot be placed in the Document Processor. Documents are
set one at a time directly on the platen, the destination fax
number is then dialed first, and – once the connection with
the other fax machine is established – scanning of the
document begins and the document is transmitted.
This process is carried out for each page that you want to
transmit and it is necessary, after each page is scanned, to
select whether or not you want to transmit more pages.
(Refer to <If the Documents Were Set on the Platen...> on
page 2-6.)
