You can set your fax always to transmit from memory as a default.

Note: Whichever choice you make, you can override that choice one transmission at a time by pressing MEMORY TRANSMIT. After completing the communica- tion, your fax will return to your desired transmission setting.

Note: Although it’s probably best to decide to transmit from memory, be aware that certain types of documents can quickly exhaust even your machine’s large memory supply. Obviously, documents with large numbers of pages qualify; so do documents with lots of dark areas, since darker pages create more data for your fax machine to “remember” and send. When the machine’s memory supply is full, it can transmit only in normal (i. e., non-memory) mode.

To make memory transmission the default:

1 Press /PROGRAM, J, 1, 4, ENTER.

Memory Tx: On

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

2

To change the setting, press or /PROGRAM once or twice until your chosen

 

mode appears. In this example, we’ve chosen Off.

Memory Tx: Off

Program/Enter

3 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Sending

Here’s how to fax a document:

1 Insert the document.

When a document is in the feeder, the LCD shows the current scanning width setting (see “A4, B4, A3” in the Glossary beginning on page 3.17) and the amount of memory available:

Document Ready

2 Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary. If these are OK, skip to step 3. Otherwise, press RESOLUTION to change the resolution and/or press CONTRAST to change the contrast.

Getting started

3 “Toggle” (switch on or off) memory transmission if necessary. If you want to use your default setting, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, press MEMORY TRANSMIT once to “toggle” memory transmission.

4 Enter the fax number.

(In fax terms, you’re calling the remote fax, on its remote fax number.)

Press Start 919725552009_

As you can see, you also enter any access codes (such as a 9 for “dialing out” from an office telephone system, or 1 for long-distance) along with the num- ber, just as you would for a regular phone call.

5 Press START.

6 Now, everything is up to the machines — yours and the one you’re dialing.

If you have set the fax to transmit from memory, your machine will first scan the document into memory, then dial the other fax. When it makes contact, your machine transmits the stored document from memory.

If the fax is set for non-memory transmission, your machine simply dials the other fax. When it makes contact, your machine feeds the document through, scanning and transmitting it as it goes.

Note: The more “stuff” (or black coverage, to use the fax term) your machine “sees” on a page, the more slowly the page will feed through as the fax scans it — especially when you transmit in non-memory mode. Even if the page itself is relatively clean, sending it in grayscale mode or certain resolution settings makes your machine “see” more “stuff.” The same is true if you set the contrast to Dark.

Note: What if the call fails for some reason? See “If the call doesn’t go through: redialing,” next page.

Important: If you wish to cancel a transmission while it is in progress, you will need to use the Review Commands function. See “An intro- duction to Review Commands,” page 1.17.

7 At the end of the operation, your fax machine beeps and displays:

972-555-2009

** Complete **

Important: Whenever you transmit, whether this way or in the numerous ways we’ll describe throughout this manual, what actually appears on the top line of the display will depend upon how the remote fax machine is set. The line may even be blank.
