BASIC OPERATION
SENDING IMMEDIATELY VS. SCANNING QUICKLY
Sending Quickly
This is known as Immediate Transmission. It is convenient when:
❐ You wish to send a message immediately.
❐ You wish to check quickly whether you have successfully connected with the
other party.
❐ Your machine’s memory is becoming full.
The machine dials immediately after you press the Start key (or at a specified
later time, if you used a time delay feature like Send Later). The message is
scanned and transmitted page by page without being stored in memory.
Scanning Quickly (Type I Only)
This is called Memory Transmission : It is convenient because:
❐ Fax messages can be scanned much more quickly (you can take your
document away from the fax machine without waiting for the transmission to be
be completed).
❐ While your fax message is being sent, another user can operate the machine
(people will not have to wait by the fax machine a long time).
❐ You can send the same message to more than one place in the same
operation.
After you press the Start key, the machine doesn’t dial until all the pages of your
fax message have been stored in the memory. The default mode of this machine
is Immediate Transmission, so the procedures described in this manual will be
based on the assumption that you are using Immediate Transmission.
