Ricoh FAX5600L manual 182, Dual Access, Inch-to-millimeter Conversion

OTHER ADVANCED FEATURES

Dual Access

Dual Access means that even if the machine is already carrying out a task, you may be able to operate the machine.

For instance, if your machine is currently receiving a long fax message, but you want to send a message and go back to your desk without having to wait by the machine, you can place your message in the feeder, select the required transmission features (such as Confidential Transmission), dial the number, and press Start. Your message will be scanned and stored to memory while the machine is still receiving. This means that you can take your fax back to your desk before it is actually sent. However, to be sure whether your transmission was successful or not, keep an eye open for Error Reports (or check the TCR).

The following table shows which features can operate simultaneously on your machine.

Inch-to-millimeter Conversion

This machine is designed for use on digital data networks using Group 4. As a result, the hardware of this machine is set up to scan on a dot-per-inch basis. However, Group 3 fax machines are set up to scan and print on a dot-per-millimeter basis. This means that, if a dot-per-inch based machine like this one transmits to a dot-per-millimeter based machine, the data will be distorted slightly as it is printed at the other end (the data is shortened by about 1% across the page and expanded by about 1% down the page).

If you wish, you may ask a service technician to switch this conversion on or off. If you switch it on, the machine will correct for the distortion.
