BASIC TRANSMISSION METHODS

This section explains how to enter a destination from the initial screen of easy mode.
EASY MODE

FAX TRANSMISSION METHODS

The methods that can be used to send a fax from the machine are described below. Select the method that best suits your needs.

To fax a large number of sheet originals:

Use the automatic document feeder.
The originals will be scanned into memory and then transmitted (memory transmission).
When multiple original sheets are placed in line idle state, they will be sent in sequence from the scanned page in parallel with the scanning process (Quick On Line Sending).
If transmission cannot begin immediately because the line is in use, all pages will be scanned and stored in memory.
USING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER FOR TRANSMISSION

Storing a fax job
If transmission cannot begin immediately because the line is in use, all pages will be scanned and stored in memory. If you want to attempt to send a fax while another job is in progress, you can store the fax job. To check the stored fax job, display the job status screen.
FAX JOBS

  • If memory becomes full while the first original page is being scanned, transmission will stop.
  • When the transmission is finished, the scanned original pages are cleared from memory. However, when the document filing function is used, the transmitted fax is stored.
    • QUICK FILE FILE
  • If Job Build is enabled, you can select the automatic document feeder or the document glass to scan the original. This sending method may not be available depending on the function.
    • SCANNING MANY ORIGINALS AT ONCE (JOB BUILD) (page 6-113)
    In the following situations, the transmission will be automatically reserved (memory transmission)
  • When the line is busy or a communication error occurs and automatic resending is enabled.
    • WHEN A COMMUNICATION ERROR OCCURS
  • The line of the machine will be busy if another fax is being sent, received, or if the machine is in the busy state.
  • Another fax transmission was reserved ahead of your fax.
  • One of the following functions is being used for transmission.
  • Broadcast transmission, F-code transmission, Timer transmission, Dual Page Scan, Book Divide, N-Up, Card Shot, Job Build, Original Count
  • The document glass is being used (except when the speaker is being used to dial).
To disable the Quick On Line Sending setting:
In "Settings", select [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Send Settings] → [Quick On Line Sending].
If you disable this setting, transmission will not begin until all pages have been scanned. Note that this setting does not apply to manual transmission.

To fax thick originals or pages of a book:

Place the original on the document glass.
USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS FOR TRANSMISSION

  • Quick On Line Sending is not available when a fax is being sent from the document glass.
  • When the document glass is used, multiple original pages cannot be scanned at a time. In this case, the original pages can be separated into multiple times of scanning.

If you wish to send a fax ahead of other previously reserved fax transmissions:

Send the fax in direct transmission mode. The original is transmitted directly to the receiving fax machine without being scanned into memory. When direct transmission mode is used, transmission will begin as soon as the transmission in progress is completed (ahead of any previously reserved transmissions). Tap [Direct TX] on the action panel to send a fax.
USING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER FOR FAXING IN DIRECT TX MODE
USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS TO SEND A FAX IN DIRECT TX MODE

When transmission in direct transmission mode ends, the mode automatically changes back to memory transmission mode.
In direct transmission mode, the [Preview] key cannot be used for transmission.

ORIGINAL ORIENTATION

When an 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) original is placed in vertical orientation ( ), the image is automatically rotated 90 degrees and transmitted in horizontal orientation ( ) (Rotation Sending).
If the original is placed in horizontal orientation ( ), it is transmitted in that orientation () without being rotated.

Rotation sending is not available for originals with 8-1/2" x 11" R or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (A4R, B5, or A5) size.
To cancel the rotation sending setting:
In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Send Settings] → [Rotation Sending Setting].
If this setting is disabled, the original will be transmitted in the orientation in which it is placed.
Because of this, some receiving machines may reduce the received data.

AUTOMATIC REDUCTION OF THE TRANSMITTED IMAGE

If the width of the transmitted image is larger than the width of the paper in the receiving machine, the image will be automatically reduced to fit the receiving machine's paper width.
Example: Reduced sizes and reduction ratios

Transmitted image width Receiving machine's paper width Reduced size Scaling
11" x 17" (A3) B4 B4 1:0.8
11" x 17" (A3) 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) A4R 1:0.7
B4 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) A4R 1:0.8
To cancel the Auto Reduction Sending setting:
In "Settings", select [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Fax Settings] → [Send Settings] → [Auto Reduction Sending Setting]. If this setting is disabled, the image will be sent at full size and part of the image may be cut off.

TRANSMITTABLE ORIGINAL SIZES

For information on the original sizes that can be loaded, see " AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER" and " DOCUMENT GLASS".

THE SIZE OF THE PLACED ORIGINAL

When a standard size original is placed, the original size is automatically detected and displayed in "Scan Size" on the base screen.
AUTO DETECTION
Standard sizes are sizes that the machine can automatically detect. The standard sizes are set in "Original Size Detector Setting" in setting mode.

When the automatic original detection function is operating and the original (of inch or non-standard size) is placed, the closest size may be displayed or the original size may not appear. In this event, manually set the correct original size.
SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE IN PAPER SIZE
SPECIFYING THE ORIGINAL SCAN SIZE USING NUMERIC VALUES
To specify the size that the machine can automatically detect:
In "Settings (administrator)", select the group of detected original sizes in [System Settings] → [Common Settings] → [Device Control] → [Condition Settings] → [Original Size Detector Setting].
