Ricoh FAX5600L - Manual (Page 196)

Dual Access
Dual Access means that even if the machine is already carrying out a task, you
may be able to operate the machine.
For instance, if your machine is currently receiving a long fax message, but you
want to send a message and go back to your desk without having to wait by the
machine, you can place your message in the feeder, select the required
transmission features (such as Confidential Transmission), dial the number, and
press Start. Your message will be scanned and stored to memory while the
machine is still receiving. This means that you can take your fax back to your
desk before it is actually sent. However, to be sure whether your transmission
was successful or not, keep an eye open for Error Reports (or check the TCR).
The following table shows which features can operate simultaneously on your
machine.

Inch-to-millimeter Conversion
This machine is designed for use on digital data networks using Group 4. As a
result, the hardware of this machine is set up to scan on a dot-per-inch basis.
However, Group 3 fax machines are set up to scan and print on a
dot-per-millimeter basis. This means that, if a dot-per-inch based machine like this
one transmits to a dot-per-millimeter based machine, the data will be distorted
slightly as it is printed at the other end (the data is shortened by about 1% across
the page and expanded by about 1% down the page).
If you wish, you may ask a service technician to switch this conversion on or off.
If you switch it on, the machine will correct for the distortion.
