SENDING A FAX

Quick On-line

When you use the automatic document feeder to send a multi-page document and there are no previously stored jobs waiting or in progress (and the line is not being used), the machine dials the destination after the first page is scanned and begins transmitting scanned pages while the remaining pages are being scanned. This transmission method is called Quick On-line. The messages "SCANNING ORIGINAL." and "SENDING." both appear until scanning of the final page is completed.

If the receiving party is busy, the transmission will switch to a memory transmission. (Refer to the following section, "Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)".)

NOTES

The machine is initially set (factory setting) to perform Quick On-line transmission. If desired, you can turn off this function with the key operator program (See "Quick on line sending" on page 8-8).

When a document is transmitted using the following methods, the job will be stored in memory (Quick On-line

transmission will not be performed):
Sending from the document glass		Broadcast transmission (page 3-2)			Timer transmission (page 3-6)
2 in 1 (page 3-7)	Card shot (page 3-8)		Job build (page 3-10)	F-code transmission (Chapter 4)

Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)

When a document is sent from the document glass, or when the telephone line is in use, the document is scanned into memory and then automatically transmitted after previously stored transmission jobs are completed. This means that transmission jobs can be stored in memory by performing a transmission operation while the machine is occupied with another transmission/reception operation. This is called memory transmission, and up to 97 (maximum of 50 on the AR-M351U/AR-M451U) jobs can be stored in memory at once, including the job currently being executed. After transmission, the scanned document data is cleared from memory. (However, when the document filing function is used, the scanned document image is stored in the machine's hard disk. For information on managing stored images, see "Document filing function"* in chapter 7 of the "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation)".)

* Can only be used on the AR-M351N/AR-M451N, or when the document filing function has been added.

NOTES

You can check transmission jobs stored in memory in the job status screen. (Refer to page 1-15 of "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation)".)

If the memory becomes full while a document is being scanned, a message will appear in the display. You can cancel the transmission by touching the [CANCEL] key, or send only the pages already scanned by touching the [SEND] key. The page that was being scanned when the memory became full will be cleared from memory. If the memory becomes full while scanning the first page of a document, the transmission job is automatically cancelled.

The number of jobs that can be stored will depend on the number of pages in each job and the transmission conditions. The number of storable jobs will increase if the optional expansion memory (AR-MM9) is installed.

If the receiving party is busy

If the receiving party is busy, the transmission is temporarily cancelled and then automatically re-attempted after a brief interval (two attempts are made at an interval of 3 minutes*). If you do not want the machine to re-attempt the transmission, cancel the job in the job status screen. (See following page.)

*This setting can be changed with the key operator program (See "Recall in case of line busy" on page 8-8.).

If a transmission error occurs

If an error occurs that prevents transmission or the receiving machine does not answer the call within 45 seconds*, then transmission is stopped and then automatically re-attempted later. (one recall attempt is made at an interval of 3 minutes*) Automatic recalling can be stopped by pressing the [JOB STATUS] key and cancelling as explained on the following page. This machine also supports error correction mode (ECM) and is set to resend any part of a fax that is distorted due to noise on the line. (See "ECM" on page 8-7)

*The settings can be changed in the key operator programs. (See "Call timer at memory sending" and "Recall in case of communication error" on page 8-8).

Image rotation

The machine is initially set to rotate a vertically-placed ( )document 90° so that it is oriented horizontally() before transmission (A4 (8-1/2"x11") originals are rotated to A4R (8-1/2"x11"R) and B5R or A5R (5-1/2"x8-1/2"R) originals are rotated to B5 or A5 (5-1/2"x8-1/2")). A4R (8-1/2"x11"R) originals and B5 or A5 (5-1/2"x8-1/2") originals are not rotated. If desired, you can turn this function off with the key operator program as explained in "Rotation sending setting." on page 8-7.

NOTE

Place A5 (5-1/2"x8-1/2") size originals so that they are oriented vertically ( ). If oriented horizontally ( A5R (5-1/2"x8-1/2"R) orientation), the original size will be detected as A4 (8-1/2"x11") size on the document glass, or A5R (5-1/2"x8-1/2"R) size in the automatic document feeder, and thus the original size must be set manually by touching the [ORIGINAL] key and then the [A5R] ([5-1/2"x8-1/2"R]) key. (See "MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING SIZE" on page 1-8.)
