Quick Memory transmission

Using Quick Memory transmission can save you time over standard memory transmissions.

For a normal memory transmission, your fax: (1) scans your entire document into memory, (2) dials the other fax machine, then (3) transmits the document.

But with Quick Memory transmission, your machine doesn’t wait to scan all pages into memory before dialing. After it scans the first page of your document, your machine dials the call. While dialing, connecting and transmitting, your fax machine continues to scan in the remaining pages of the document.

You can set your fax to always use Quick Memory transmission as the default.

Important: Your fax machine’s memory transmission feature must be turned on to use Quick Memory transmission (see page 1.18).

To make Quick Memory transmission the default:

1	Press		/PROGRAM, J, 1, 7, ENTER. The LCD shows:
		Quick Tx		:On
			Program/Enter
2
	Press		or /PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
	Here, we’ve chosen Off.
		Quick Tx		:Off
			Program/Enter
3
	Press ENTER to save the setting.

Beyond the Basics

Polling

Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without having to make the call or pay for it. There are several kinds of polling:

•Regular polling — Your fax retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.

•F-Code polling — Your fax retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote fax machine. To do this, you must be communicating with another F-code-compatible fax machine. For more information on F-Code polling, see “F-Code communication,” pages 2.46–2.47.

•Continuous polling — Your fax continuously retrieves a document from any remote fax machine at a designated time. For example, a hospital pharmacy can use this to check on orders waiting in fax machines throughout the hospital.

For polling to work, the remote machine must also be set up to be polled. See the remote machine’s operating instructions, if necessary.

Regular polling

To set up your machine for regular polling:

1 Make sure the document is inserted in the remote fax machine.

2 Press COM-OPTIONStwice and then press ENTER. The LCD shows:

Enter Time: 15/17:05

When your machine polls for documents, it dials the number and, upon making con- tact with the other machine, begins receiving the document as if the other machine had placed the call.
