Sending a delayed fax

 

You can schedule a fax to be sent automatically at a future time to one or more people.

 

When you complete this procedure, the device scans the document into memory and returns

 

to the Ready state so that you can perform other tasks.

 

If the device cannot transmit the fax at the scheduled time, that information is indicated on

Note

 

the fax call report (if that option is turned on) or recorded in the fax activity log. The

 

transmittal might be halted because the fax-sending call is not answered, or because a busy

 

signal stops the redial attempts. (See Setting print times for the fax call report and Printing

 

the fax activity log for more information.)

 

If you have set a fax to be sent at a future time but you need to add something to it, you can

 

send the additional information as another job. All faxes that are scheduled to go to the

 

same fax number at the same time are delivered as individual faxes.
