Muratec MFX-1500E, Series 41500E Delayed transmission, Setting up a delayed transmission

Delayed transmission

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

Important: If you program all 99 delayed transmission commands, no further memory transmission is possible until one or more of the commands is completed. (To review memory transmission, see page 1.18.) However, if all 99 delayed commands are programmed, you can always transmit manually using monitor/speaker dialing or an optional handset (see page 1.21).

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:

1 Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments.

2 Press COM-OPTIONS.The LCD shows:

1.Delayed

Program/Enter

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

Delayed

Enter Time: 06/17:16

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

Note: Press to move the cursor left, or /PROGRAM to move it right.

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

Delayed

Enter Time: 11/23:05

Beyond the Basics

5	When the date and time are entered, press ENTER to save the delayed trans-
	mission. The LCD shows:
		Enter Fax Number
		_
6
	Enter the fax number for the delayed transmission 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 CANCEL to erase to the left.
		If you want to change just one character in the number, press to
		move the cursor left, or /PROGRAM to move it right. Press CANCEL to
		erase it. Then re-enter the number correctly.
7	Press START. Your machine returns to standby mode, while showing this on
	the LCD:
		** Reserved **
		Jan 29 2000 17:17

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

•If you set the machine for memory transmission, 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).
