Sending a Fax by Automatic Dialling

Sending a Fax by Automatic Dialling

Dual Access

The fax machine features full dual access, which means that you can load a document and dial by automatic dialling even when the fax machine is occupied with another operation. After you dial, your document will be immediately scanned into memory and then transmitted once all previously set operations have been completed.

If more than one document has been scanned into memory for transmission, the documents will be transmitted in the order in which they were scanned. If you have an urgent transmission and do not want to wait until previously scanned documents are transmitted, you can press the PRIORITY key after loading your document. Your document will be transmitted immediately after the current document has completed transmission.

If you don’t want the document to be transmitted from memory, you can press the DOCUMENT key after loading the document. In this case, the document will not be scanned until all previously set operations are completed and the connection to the receiving party is established. (To transmit the document ahead of any documents waiting in memory for transmission, press the PRIORITY key.)

The fax machine can hold approximately 56 pages of average con- tent in memory when Option Setting 9, Error Correction Mode, is turned off. Less pages can be held if any were scanned using fine or halftone resolution, or when Option Setting 9 is turned on.

The amount of memory currently occupied appears as a percentage ("M:00%") in the display.
