FAX TRANSMISSION METHODS

USING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER FOR TRANSMISSION

Storing scanned originals in machine's memory before transmitting them is called "Memory TX".
This section explains how to scan the original through the automatic document feeder and send the data by the memory transmission function.

  • To fax a thick original or other original that cannot be placed in the automatic document feeder, open the automatic document feeder and place the original on the document glass.
  • If there is a fax job in progress when the transmission operation is performed, the fax is transmitted when the job in progress is finished.
  • If the memory becomes full while the originals are being scanned, a message will appear and scanning will stop. When Quick On Line Sending is enabled for transmission, the scanned originals are sent.
  • To disable the Quick On Line Sending setting:
  • In the Web page, select [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Send Settings] → [Quick On Line Sending].
    If you disable this setting, memory transmission will not begin until all pages have been scanned.
  • To set the scan complete sound:
  • From the operation panel select [System Settings] → [Sound Settings] → [Beep Sound Settings (Common)] → [Scan Complete Sound (Scan/Fax)].

Place the original in the document feeder tray of the automatic document feeder.

SENDING THE SAME FAX TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS (BROADCAST TRANSMISSION)

You can send a fax to multiple destinations in a single operation when, for example, sending a report to branch offices in different regions. This function is called "Broadcasting".
One operation allows you to send data to up to 100 destinations, including the reserved send jobs. (For example, if broadcast transmission jobs with 70 destinations are already reserved, data can be broadcasted to up to 30 destinations.)

It is convenient to store destinations you frequently use for broadcast transmission as contacts or groups. A maximum of 100 destinations can be stored in one contact.
For broadcast transmission, the contact or group key can be simply tapped to retrieve multiple fax numbers.
