More Transmission Functions

Automatic Redial

If a document cannot be transmitted because the line is busy or due to a transmission error, redialing is done twice at 5-minute intervals for Immediate Transmission, and four times at 5-minute intervals for Memory Trans- mission. (The redialing interval and number of retries may vary according to country.)

If redialing fails, the machine cancels the transmission and prints the Communication Result Report or Communication Failure Report.

Dual Access

The machine can scan other messages into memory even while sending a fax message from memory, receiving a message into memory, or automatically printing a report.

Since the machine starts sending the

 

second message immediately after

 

the current transmission terminates,

the line will be used efficiently.

Note that during Immediate Trans- mission, when copying, or when the User Tools menu is open, the machine cannot scan in documents.

Batch Transmission

If you send a fax message by Memory Transmission and there is another fax message waiting in memory to be sent to the same destination, that message is sent along with your doc- ument. Several fax messages can be sent with a single call, thus eliminating the need for several separate calls. This helps you reduce communication costs and transmission time.

Fax messages for which the transmission time has been set in advance are sent by Batch Transmission when that time is reached.

Note

❒You can switch the Batch Trans- mission function on or off with User Parameters. See p.178 “User Parameters” (switch 06 bit 4).

❒If you store the Batch Transmission function in a User Function key, you can turn it on or off by just pressing that key. The User Func- tion key indicator lights when Batch Transmission is turned on.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

This feature automatically resends data that wasn't transmitted successfully using a system that complies with international standards.

ECM requires that the destination machine has the same feature.

Parallel Memory Transmission

With this feature the machine can call destinations while scanning docu- ments. Compared with normal Memory Transmission (where the machine calls once all the documents have been stored), it is quick to verify whether a connection has been made or not.

Additionally, as scanning finishes quicker than in Immediate Transmis- sion, it is useful if you wish to take the document back to your desk immedi- ately. However, if the connection cannot be made (for example if the line is busy), normal Memory Transmission takes place.
