AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT ASPECIFIED 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-M351U/AR-M451U) timer
transmission and memory transmission jobs can be stored.

performed in a timer transmission:
Normal transmission (page 2-2)
Broadcast transmission (page 3-2)
Polling (page 3-13)

F-code polling (page 4-5)
F-code confidential transmission (page 4-6)
F-code relay request transmission (page 4-8)
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-M351N/AR-M451N when a hard disk is not installed.

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 cancelled and the job performed as soon as the current job is completed.
