Sharp MX-FX13 Quick On-line, If the receiving party is busy, If a transmission error occurs

BASIC OPERATIONS

Quick On-line

When you use the SPF/RSPF 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. When a quick online transmission is being performed, the message display shows "READING" - "DIALLING" - "COMM." - "SENDING" in that order until scanning of the remaining pages is completed. When all pages have been scanned, "READ END" appears before the above messages appear.

If the receiving party is busy, the quick online transmission will change into a stored transmission job (memory transmission). (See "Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)" on page 23.)

If the memory becomes full during a quick online transmission

If the memory becomes full while scanning the first page of a document, the transmission job is automatically cancelled. If the memory becomes full while scanning the second page or a following page, those pages which were completely scanned will be transmitted.

The machine is initially set (factory setting) to perform Quick On-line transmission. If desired, you can disable this Note function in the system settings. (See "QUICK ON LINE TX" on page 106.) When an original is transmitted using

the following methods, the job will be stored in memory. (Quick On-line transmission will not be performed.)

•Sending a fax from the document glass.

•Broadcast transmission (page 31)

•Timer transmission (page 33)

•F-code transmission (page 52 in Chapter 4)

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.*1 *3)

If you do not want the machine to re-attempt the transmission, press the [FAX STATUS] key and cancel the job. (Page 26)

*1 The settings can be changed in the system settings. (See "RECALL SETTING (BUSY)" on page 106.)

*3 Varies depending on country and region.

If a transmission error occurs

If an error occurs that prevents transmission or the receiving machine does not answer the call within 45 seconds*2 *3, the transmission is stopped and then automatically re-attempted later. One attempt is made at an interval of 1 minute.*2) If you do not want the machine to re-attempt the transmission, press the [FAX STATUS] key and cancel the job. (Page 26) This machine also supports error correction mode (ECM) and is set to automatically resend any part of a fax that is distorted due to noise on the line.

*2 The settings can be changed in the system settings. (See "RING TIMEOUT IN AUTO TX" (page 107) and "RECALL SET (ERR)" (page 107).)

*3 Varies depending on country and region.

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" x 11") originals are rotated to A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R) and A5R originals are rotated to A5). A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R) originals and A5 originals are not rotated. In Taiwan, B5R originals are also rotated to B5 (however, B5 originals are not rotated). If desired, you can disable the rotation function in the system settings as explained on "ROTATE TX" (page 105).

Place A5 size originals so that they are oriented vertically (). If oriented horizontally, (A5R orientation), press Note the [ORIGINAL SIZE] key and specify the correct original size (select "A5R") (See "MANUALLY SETTING THE

SCANNING SIZE" on page 13.)
