Sending Methods

This section describes the methods and advantages of the two main sending methods: Memory sending and Manual sending via the handset.

Memory Sending

Memory sending is a quick and easy way to send a document. As the first page of a multipage document is being scanned into the unit’s memory, your unit begins calling the other party and transmitting the information even as the remaining pages are being scanned.

Since your unit is multitasking, you can even scan a document into memory while performing other tasks.

The unit has enough memory to store up to approximately 42 pages* (fewer if the document contains many graphics or particularly dense text).

Follow this procedure for memory sending:

1Open the document tray.**

2Adjust the document feed lever for the document you are loading. (1 p. 4-2)

3Prepare the document and load it, face down, in the ADF. (1 p. 4-4)

For colour sending, press Colour/B&W to turn on its light. (1 p. 7-2)

To adjust the resolution and contrast, 1 pp. 7-3, 7-4.

You may be unable to use memory sending if the percentage shown in the LCD is close to 100%. Use manual sending via the handset instead. (1 p. 7-7)

4Dial the other party’s fax number.

For dialling methods, 1 p. 7-5.

If you enter the wrong number, press Stop, then enter the correct number.

If you must first dial a digit to get an outside

line (“9”, for example), add a pause after that digit by pressing R (Redial)/Pause.
