Advanced fax
Take advantage of lower evening and weekend long-distance rates with delayed
transmission. Your fax machine can store up to 100 delayed commands, each of
which you can program up to 31 days in advance.
Important: If you program all 100 delayed transmission commands, no memory
transmission is possible until one or more of the commands is com-
pleted. (To review memory transmission, see pages 3.3 and 3.70.)
However, if all 100 delayed commands are programmed, you can always
transmit manually using monitor/speaker dialing or an optional hand-
set (see page 3.5).
Setting up a delayed transmission
Important: Your machine only remembers the day of the month that it’s supposed
to send a delayed transmission. It does not remember the month
itself. So if you want to send a transmission at 5:05
PM
on June 26,
don’t program the transmission sooner than 5:06
PM
on May 26.
To set up a delayed transmission:
1Place the document and make any necessary adjustments.
2Press
MENU
.
3Select “Delayed Tx” and press [Enter].
The
LCD
shows the current day of the month,
followed by the current time (in 24-hour for-
mat).
4Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the
month and the time when you want the fax to
send the delayed transmission.
5When the date and time are entered, press [Enter] to save the delayed trans-
mission. The
LCD
shows:
6Enter the fax number for the delayed transmis-
sion document. You can either press a one-touch
key, enter a speed-dial number or use the
numeric keypad to enter the fax number.
Note: If you want to erase characters, press
[Clear] to erase to the left.
If you want to change just one c haracter
in the number, move the cursor by using cursor key, and press [Clear]
to erase it. Then re-enter the number correctly.
7Press
START
.Your machine returns to standby
mode, while showing this on the
LCD
:
This means your fax machine is “Reserved” for
the delayed transmission you just programmed.
• If you set the machine for memory transmis-
sion, it will scan the document into memory,
after which you can use the machine normally.
• If you set the machine for manual transmission, the machine can receive
faxes but can’t transmit until your delayed command has been performed.
Important: If you’ve 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 the current operation (but not previous opera-
tions).
To review or cancel delayed commands, see “Job Review” on page 3.29.
