Batch Transmission

Batch Transmission

Batch transmission allows you to store multiple fax jobs in memory for automatic transmission to one destination at a set time. If you often send faxes to a particular destination, this function helps reduce telephone costs by allowing you to conveniently send multiple faxes on one connection.

Note: If the telephone billing function is turned on, the batch transmission function cannot be used.

Programming a Batch Key

To perform a batch transmission, you must first program the number of the receiving machine and the time of transmission into a Batch Key. Any Rapid Key which has not already been programmed can be used as a Batch Key.

If you specify a day-of-the-week in your program, the transmission will be performed every week on that day. If you do not specify a day-of-the-week, the transmission will be performed every day.

To program a Batch Key, follow the procedure for entering programs explained in Entering and Using Programs on page 86. In Step 10 of the initial procedure, select “Batch transmission”.

Clearing a Batch Key

To clear a Batch Key, follow the procedure on page 93.

Storing documents for transmission

Follow the steps below to store a document under a Batch Key for transmission. When you store the document, it is given a message number to distinguish it from other jobs stored in the same batch.

♦ If no jobs have been stored under a Batch Key when the time for transmission arrives, transmission will not take place.
