INTRODUCTION
Working with the Printer and the Fax Machine at the Same Time
In a few cases, the machine can handle two tasks at the same time. The following ta- bles show how to operate the machine while a job is currently in progress.
1. If you wish to print a file from the computer while the fax machine is busy
Current Task (Fax Machine) | Printing a File from the PC |
Immediate Transmission | Not possible; wait until the machine has |
Memory Transmission | finished the current task. |
Scanning a document and storing it to memory | Possible; you can print your file |
| immediately if you wish. |
Receiving a fax message | Not possible; wait until the machine has |
Printing a fax message from memory | finished the current task. |
Making a copy |
|
2.If you wish to use the fax machine (or if someone tries to send you a fax message) while you are printing a file from the computer
Desired Use of the Fax Machine | Whether Possible or Not |
Immediate Transmission | Not possible; wait until the machine has finished |
| printing. |
Memory Transmission | You can store a document in the memory, but |
| transmission will not begin until at least 10 |
| seconds after the machine has finished printing. |
Scanning a document and storing it to memory | Possible; you can start immediately, even though |
| the machine is printing a file from the computer. |
Receiving a fax message | Not possible; wait until at least 10 seconds after |
| the machine has finished printing. |
Printing a fax message from memory | Not possible; wait until the machine has finished |
Making a copy | printing. |
Note: You can tell if the machine is printing a file from the computer by looking at
the 
indicator (you can tell by looking at the indicator even if the machine is in fax standby mode). When it is flashing, the computer is sending data to the printer. When it is steady, only printing is taking place; the computer is not sending data.
If the indicator remains steady but nothing is being printed, see Form Feed on page 14.
While the machine is in printer mode (Function 35), the machine cannot re- ceive fax messages.
