Batch Transmission

Batch Transmission

Batch transmission allows you to store a number of documents in memory for automatic transmission to one location at a set time. If you often send documents to a particular location, this function helps reduce telephone line costs by allowing you to conveniently send multiple documents on one connection.

Note: If the telephone billing function is turned on, the batch transmis- sion 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 in this chapter. In Step 10 of the initial procedure, select “Batch transmission”.

Clearing a Batch Key

To clear a Batch Key, follow the procedure explained in Clearing a Program Key in Entering and Using Programs in this chapter.

Storing documents for transmission

Up to 56 jobs (a job can consist of multiple pages) can be held in memory for batch transmissions at any one time, regardless of the number of Batch Keys used. When you store a document, it is given a message number to distinguish it from other documents sent in the same batch.
