Beyond the basics

Delayed transmission

Take advantage of lower evening and weekend long-distance rates with delayed transmission. Your fax machine can store up to 30 delayed commands, each of which you can program up to 31 days in advance.

Important: If you program a full 30 delayed transmission commands, no further memory transmission is possible until the machine completes at least one of the delayed commands. (To review memory transmission, see page 1.17.) However, you can always transmit from the feeder by using on-hook dialing or an handset (see page 1.18).

Setting up a delayed transmission

Important: Your machine remembers only the day of the month when it’s sup- posed to perform a delayed transmission. It does not remember the month itself. If you want your fax to do something at 5:05 PM on June 26, do not 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.

2 Press COM-OPTIONStwice. The LCD shows:

2.Delayed

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

Time : 06/17:16

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

Note: To move the cursor to a specific digit, press to move the cursor to the left, or move it to the right, to that digit.

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

Time : 11/23:05

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

_

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 to enter the number.

Note: If you make a mistake, press CANCEL to erase to the left. Or, if you want to change just one character in the number, press to move the cursor to the left, or to move it to the right, to that character and press CANCEL to erase it. Then re-enter the number until it 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 set the machine for transmission from memory, it will scan the delayed command document into memory, and you can use the machine normally.

If you set the machine for transmission from the feeder, the machine can receive faxes but cannot transmit until the delayed command is completed.

Important: If you have stored too much information in your machine’s memory, a “Memory Overflow” message may appear on the LCD. This appears because 1) too many pages have been stored in the memory, or 2) the pages that are stored have too much information on them for your fax machine to remember.

If this message appears, press START to tell your fax to keep as many pages in memory as possible, or press CANCEL to delete from memory all pages stored during this operation (but not previous operations).
