Transmission Features

Blank Sheet Detect

This feature is designed to help you avoid making mistakes while scanning in documents.

If you try to scan in an almost completely blank document, an alarm sounds after Immediate Transmis- sion, and as soon as the document has been scanned for Memory Transmis- sion.

As the alarm sounds, the screen below appears.

Limitation

This feature is not supported in Copy mode.

Note

Transmission is not cancelled even if the machine detects the docu- ment is blank.

When in Memory Transmission,

you can cancel the transmission by pressing the {Stop} key while the message is shown on the display.

You can turn Blank Sheet Detect on or off with User Parameters. See p.178 “User Parameters” (switch 11 bit 2).

Scanner Cleaning Message

If dirt is stuck to the scanner, the other party receives fax messages with black lines. When the scanner is dirty, the warning message "Scanner

needs cleaning. Clean the expo-

sure glass." is displayed after scanning is complete. If this message is displayed, wipe the exposure glass

and white strip to remove the dirt, 3 and then press [OK].

Note

You can select whether this mes- sage is displayed or not when the machine detects that the scanner is dirty with User Parameters. "On" (Displayed) is selected by default. See p.178 “User Parameters” (switch 20 bit 7).

If the dirty part of the scanner is small, that is, 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) or smaller, the machine tries to erase the black line made when scanning originals. The black line is less visible on the received mes- sage. However, sometimes very small parts of the image might be missing on the received message. You can turn this function on or off with User Parameters. It is turned on by default. See p.178 “User Pa- rameters” (switch 20 bit 4).

Transmission is not interrupted even if the machine detects that the scanner is dirty.
