Manual and Automatic Fax Redial
If you’re sending a fax manually and the line is busy, press Redial/Pause to try again. Anytime you want to make a second call to the last number dialed, press Redial/Pause to save time.
If you’re sending a fax automatically and the line is busy, the FAX/MFC will automatically redial (up to three times at 5 minute intervals).
Dual Access
You can scan up to 50 documents into the fax memory, even while the FAX/ MFC is receiving or sending another fax (from memory). You can set temporary settings for each fax you’re scanning.
If you try to scan and store a 51st fax, the FAX/MFC will send it immediately without storing it in memory.
If you get an OUT OF MEMORY message while scanning the first page of a fax, press Stop/Exit to cancel scanning. If you get an OUT OF MEMORY message while scanning a subsequent page, you’ll have the option to press Fax Start to transmit the pages scanned so far or press Stop/Exit to cancel the operation.

Note

1Place the original face down in the ADF.

2Enter the fax number.

3Press Fax Start. As the FAX/MFC scans the original, the LCD shows the job number (#XXX) of the fax and how much memory is available. Then the FAX/ MFC starts dialing. You can immediately repeat Steps 1 to 3 for the next fax.

The number of pages you can scan into memory varies with the data they contain.

Real Time Transmission

When you are sending a fax, the FAX/MFC will scan originals into memory before sending them. Then, as soon as the phone line is free, the FAX/MFC will start dialing and sending the fax. If memory becomes full, the FAX/MFC will send the document in real time (even if REAL TIME TX is set to OFF).

Sometimes you may want to send an important document immediately, without waiting for memory transmission. You can set REAL TIME TX to ON.
