FAX TRANSMISSION METHODS

The methods that can be used to send a fax from the machine are described below. Select the method that best suits your needs.

To fax a large number of sheet originals:
Use the automatic document feeder.
The originals will be scanned into memory and then transmitted (memory transmission).
When multiple original sheets are placed in line idle state, they will be sent in sequence from the scanned page in parallel with the scanning process (Quick On Line Sending).
If transmission cannot begin immediately because the line is in use, all pages will be scanned into memory and the transmission will be reserved.
Storing a fax job
If transmission cannot begin immediately because the line is in use, all pages will be scanned and stored in memory. If you want to attempt to send a fax while another job is in progress, you can store the fax job. To check the stored fax job, display the job status screen.
  • If memory becomes full while the first original page is being scanned, transmission will stop.
  • When the transmission is finished, the scanned original pages are cleared from memory. However, when the document filing function is used, the transmitted fax is stored.
  • You can also send a fax by placing originals in both the automatic document feeder and on the document glass. Original pages are then scanned and sent in sequence. This sending method may not be available depending on the function.
In the following situations, the transmission will be automatically reserved (memory transmission)
  • When the line is busy or a communication error occurs and automatic resending is enabled.
  • The line of the machine will be busy if another fax is being sent, received, or if the machine is in the busy state.
  • Another fax transmission was reserved ahead of your fax.
  • One of the following functions is being used for transmission.
    • Broadcast transmission, F-code transmission, Timer transmission, Dual Page Scan, Book Divide, 2in1, Card Shot, Job Build, Original Count
  • The document glass is being used (except when the speaker is being used to dial).
To disable the Quick On Line Sending setting:
In "Setting mode", select [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Send Settings] → [Quick On Line Sending].
If you disable this setting, transmission will not begin until all pages have been scanned. Note that this setting does not apply to manual transmission.
To fax thick originals or pages of a book:
Place the original on the document glass.
  • Quick On Line Sending is not available when a fax is being sent from the document glass.
  • When the document glass is used, multiple original pages cannot be scanned at a time. In this case, the original pages can be separated into multiple times of scanning.
If you wish to send a fax ahead of other previously reserved fax transmissions:
Send the fax in direct transmission mode. The original is transmitted directly to the receiving fax machine without being scanned into memory.
When direct transmission mode is used, transmission will begin as soon as the transmission in progress is completed (ahead of any previously reserved transmissions).
Tap the [Direct TX] key on the action panel to send a fax.
When transmission in direct transmission mode ends, the mode automatically changes back to memory transmission mode.
In direct transmission mode, the [Preview] key cannot be used for transmission.
