■Automatic Dialing
Includes one-touch and coded speed dialing, directory dialing, group dialing, and access
code dialing which enables you to send the same document to several destinations by
pressing a single key or just a few keys.
■Variety of Send and Receive Features
Includes sequential broadcasting, polling, relay sending and receiving, and confidential
mailbox sending and receiving.
■ECM Send and Receive
ECM (Error Correction Mode) reduces errors during sending and receiving on noisy or poor
quality telephone lines.
■Receiving in Memory If You Run Out of Paper or Toner
If you run out of paper or toner while you are receiving a document, the machine continues
to receive by storing the remainder of the document into the machine’s memory so you can
print it out after you refill the paper cassette or replace the toner cartridge. A memory
backup function also safeguards the contents of the memory for approximately 12 hours
after a power failure.

■Delayed Sending
Scan a document into memory and set the machine to send the document at a later time.
This enables you to take advantage of holiday or late night telephone rates.
■Dual Access
Even while you are sending or receiving a document, you can continue to use the machine
to register information or record documents into memory.
■JBIG, Improved Image Data Compression
JBIG (Joint Bi-Level Image Experts Group) is a new ITU-T standard image data
compression method. JBIG’s compression method allows data to be compressed more
efficiently* than MMR (Modified Modified Read), a conventional compression method. JBIG
is especially effective when transmitting halftone image documents. The smaller data size
requires less transmission time, and JBIG saves you time and money.
* The actual compression ratio may vary with different images.
