Beyond the basics

The time machine: delayed transmission

Take advantage of lower evening and weekend long-distance rates with delayed transmission. Your fax machine can store up to 99 delayed transmission commands, each of which you can program up to 31 days in advance.

Important: If you program a full 99 delayed transmission commands, no further memory transmission is possible until the machine performs at least one of the delayed commands. (To review memory transmission, see pages 1.14–1.15.) However, you always can transmit from the feeder by using on-hook dialing or an optional handset (see page 1.16).

Setting up a delayed transmission

Important: Your machine remembers only the day of the month, not the month itself, when it’s supposed to perform a delayed transmission. So if, say, you want your fax to do something at 5:05 PM on June 26, don’t make that setting sooner than 5:06 PM on May 26.

To set up a delayed transmission:

1 Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as usual.

2 Press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS. The LCD will show:

1.Delayed

3 Press ENTER. The LCD shows the current day of the month, followed by the current time (in 24-hour format, as you’ll recall):

Delayed

4 Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and the time when you want the fax to perform the delayed transmission.

Note: To move the cursor to a specific digit, press to move the cursor left- ward, or /PROGRAM to move it rightward, to that digit.

Here, we’ve set the transmission to occur on the 11th at 11:05 PM:

Delayed

5 When the date and time entry is as you wish, press ENTER to save the delayed transmission. The LCD shows:

Enter Fax Number

_

6 Enter the fax number to which the delayed transmission should go. You may either press a one-touch key, enter a speed-dial number or just use the numeric keypad normally.

Note: If you make a mistake or want to erase characters entered in a previ- ous setting, press CANCEL to erase leftward. Or, if you want to change just one character in the number, press to move the cursor leftward, or /PROGRAM to move it rightward, to that character. Then re-enter until the number is just as you want it.

7 Press START. Your machine will return to its normal standby mode, while showing this on the LCD:

** Reserved **

This means your fax machine is “reserved” for the delayed transmission com- mand you just programmed.

If you had set the machine for transmission from memory, it will scan the document into memory, after which you can use the machine normally.

If you had set the machine for transmission from the feeder, the machine can receive faxes but can’t transmit.
