Batch Transmission
Batch transmission allows you to store a number of documents in
memory for automatic transmission to one location at a set time. If
you often send documents to a particular location, this function helps
reduce telephone line costs by allowing you to conveniently send
multiple documents on one connection.
Note: If the telephone billing function is turned on, the batch transmis-
sion function cannot be used.
Programming a Batch Key
To perform a batch transmission, you must first program the number
of the receiving machine and the time of transmission into a Batch
Key. Any Rapid Key which has not already been programmed can be
used as a Batch Key.
If you specify a day-of-the-week in your program, the transmission
will be performed every week on that day. If you do not specify a day-
of-the-week, the transmission will be performed every day.
To program a Batch Key, follow the procedure for entering programs
explained in Entering and Using Programs in this chapter. In Step 10
of the initial prodedure, select “Batch transmission”.
Clearing a Batch Key
To clear a Batch Key, follow the procedure explained in Clearing a
Program Key in Entering and Using Programs in this chapter.
Storing documents for transmission
Up to 56 jobs (a job can consist of multiple pages) can be held in
memory for batch transmissions at any one time, regardless of the
number of Batch Keys used. When you store a document, it is given a
message number to distinguish it from other documents sent in the
same batch.
