AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT A SPECIFIED TIME (TIMER TRANSMISSION)

This feature enables you to set up a transmission or polling operation to be performed automatically at a specified time up to a week in advance. This allows you to take advantage of off-peak phone rates without having to be there when the transmission is performed. A combined total of 97 (maximum of 50 on the AR-M355U/AR-M455U) timer transmission and memory transmission jobs can be stored.

NOTES

To perform a timer transmission, the document must be scanned into memory. It is not possible to leave the document in the auto document feeder or on the document glass and have it scanned at the specified time of transmission.

To set the date and time in the machine, refer to page 2-12 of "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation))". You can check the machine's currently set time in the screen of steps 3 and 4 below.

Only one polling timer operation can be set up at a time. If you wish to set up multiple timer polling operations, combine the machines to be polled into a serial polling operation with a timer setting. (Refer to 3-13.)

After a timer transmission is performed, the information (image, destination, etc.) is automatically 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-M355N/AR-M455N. The AR-M355U/AR-M455U models do not have this function.

NOTES

Other operations can be performed after a timer transmission is set up. If another operation is in progress when the specified time arrives, the timer transmission will begin when the job in progress is completed.

If a timer transmission job is given priority in the fax job status screen (See "PRIORITY TRANSMISSION OF A STORED JOB" on page 2-9.), the time setting will be canceled and the job performed as soon as the current job is completed.
