    8. HOW TO USE THE FAX FUNCTION The standalone fax component of your machine offers a range of sophisticated features that allow you to control image quality, reception mode, broadcasting, polling, and transmission priorities. Functions such as sending originals from memory and substituting reception into memory are greatly enhanced by the large memory capacity.
  • Page 78 Sending Originals There are two ways to send the fax: • To scan the original into memory, then dial and transmit, continue with the “Dialing and Transmitting” section. • To dial and transmit the original directly without first scanning it into memory, press the ORIGINAL key.

To ensure that you do not lose any part of the original, you should use the Receive Reduce function, which scales the fax to the printing paper size.

  • Page 89: When Using Manual Sending And Receiving

    When using manual sending and receiving You need to use the SPEAKER key or an extension telephone to perform manual sending and receiving. For information about connecting an ex- tension telephone, refer to “Final Preparations” in Chapter 1. When the extension telephone rings, pick up the handset and converse.

  • Page 90: Special Functions

    Special Functions Memory Your machine has a memory area that can be used to store both incoming and outgoing originals. • Approximately 120 pages of average content can be held in memory for transmission. Less can be held if any of the pages were scanned using fine or superfine resolution.

  • Page 91: Datatransfer

    Special Functions Data Transfer If there is a problem with the machine, you can use the Data Transfer function to have received faxes read into memory and then sent to a different fax machine for printing. This function is used when you cannot print received faxes, for example when the machine runs out of toner, a misfeed occurs.

  • Page 92: Transmission Reservation

    Special Functions Transmission Reservation When your fax is busy receiving an original or transmitting an original from memory, you can “reserve” a transmission by setting the original (either in the SPF or on the original table), reading it into memory, and entering the fax number.
  • Page 93 Special Functions When using the original table: Confirm that there are no originals in the SPF, and that copying is not in progress, then open the document cover.

Broadcasting using a Group key If the fax machines to which you want to broadcast have all been programmed into one Group key, you can perform the broadcasting operation using the following simplified procedure.

  • Page 96: Polling

    Special Functions Polling Polling allows you to request another fax machine to send a original to your fax machine. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, activates the transmission. You can use your fax to both poll and be polled by others.

  • Page 97: Being Polled (Memory Polling)

    Special Functions Being Polled (Memory Polling) To allow multiple fax machines to poll your fax, or in cases where you want to free up the original feeder tray for other operations, use Memory Polling instead of Polling Standby.
