Send a fax to multiple recipients
You can send a fax to multiple recipients at once by grouping individual speed dial
entries into group speed dial entries.
To send a fax to multiple recipients using group speed dial
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see Load an original on the
scanner glass or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF).
2. Touch Fax, touch
(Speed Dial), and then select the group you want to fax to.
3. Touch Start Black.
If the printer detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, it sends
the document to each number in the group speed dial entry.
NOTE: You can only use group speed dial entries to send faxes in black and
white, because of memory limitations. The printer scans the fax into memory
then dials the first number. When a connection is made, it sends the fax and
dials the next number. If a number is busy or not answering, the printer follows
the settings for Busy Redial and No Answer Redial. If a connection cannot be
made, the next number is dialed and an error report is generated.
Send a fax in Error Correction Mode
Error Correction Mode (ECM) prevents loss of data due to poor phone lines by
detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting
retransmission of the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or might even
be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time
and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. The default setting is On.
Turn ECM off only if it increases phone charges substantially, and if you can accept
poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.
Before turning the ECM setting off, consider the following. If you turn ECM off
• The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.
• The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.
• You no longer send or receive faxes in color.
To change the ECM setting from the control panel
1. From the Home screen, touch right arrow , and then select Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup and then select Advanced Fax Setup.
3. Touch down arrow , and then select Error Correction Mode.
4. Select On or Off.
