Send a fax from memory

You can scan a black-and-white fax into memory and then send the fax from memory. This feature is useful if the fax number you are trying to reach is busy or temporarily unavailable. The device scans the originals into memory and sends them once it is able to connect to the receiving fax machine. After the device scans the pages into memory, you can immediately remove the originals from the document feeder tray.

NOTE: You can only send a black-and-white fax from memory.

To send a fax from memory

1.Load your originals. For additional information, see Load an original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF).

NOTE: The ADF is available for some models only.

2.Press the left arrow or right arrow to select Fax B&W or Fax Color , and then press OK.

3.Enter the fax number by using the keypad, press Speed Dial to select a speed dial, or press Redial/Pause to redial the last number dialed.

4.Press right arrow until Fax Method appears, and then press OK.

5.Press right arrow until Scan & Fax appears, and then press OK.

6.Press Start.

The device scans the originals into memory and sends the fax when the receiving fax machine is available.

Schedule a fax to send later

You can schedule a black-and-white fax to be sent within the next 24 hours. This enables you to send a black-and-white fax late in the evening, when phone lines are not as busy or phone rates are lower, for example. The device automatically sends your fax at the specified time.

You can only schedule one fax to be sent at a time. You can continue to send faxes normally, however, while a fax is scheduled.

NOTE: You can only send faxes in black and white due to memory limitations.
