Sending a Fax Message
Memory Transmission
In Memory Transmission mode, after you press the {Start}key, the machine doesn't dial the destination until all pages of your fax message have scanned into memory (in contrast
2 with Immediate Transmission, where the number is dialed first and pages are scanned and sent one by one).
Memory Transmission is useful be- cause:
•You can take your document away from the machine without having to wait too long
•While your message is being sent, other people can use the machine
•You can send the same message to more than one destination in a sin- gle operation. This technique is re- ferred to as Broadcasting.
Important
❒If there is a power failure, the pow- er switch is turned off, or the plug is pulled out for more than 1 hour, all files stored in memory are de- leted. As soon as power is restored, the Power Failure Report is print-
ed to help you identify deleted files.⇒ P.178 “When Power is Turned Off or Fails”
Limitation
❒If memory is full (0% appears on the display), Memory Transmis- sion is disabled. In this case use Immediate Transmission instead.
Note
❒Maximum number of Memory Transmission files: 250 (1,000 when the optional Function Up- grade Card is installed)
❒Maximum number of destinations per Memory Transmission: 250
❒Combined total number of desti- nations that can be stored: 500 (2,000 when the optional Function Upgrade Card is installed)
❒The number of pages that you can store in memory depends on the original document images and the scan settings. You can store up to 160 standard pages
❒As default, the machine will return to the default transmission mode (Memory Transmission) after ev- ery transmission. You can change
this so that the current mode is maintained. ⇒ P.236 “Changing the User Parameters”
