recipient.
– The recipients are listed in the order of one-touch speed
dialing keys (01 to 08), and coded dialing codes (00 to 99).
– For a one-touch speed dialing key or coded dialing code with
no recipient name registered, their fax number is displayed.
6. Press [Start].
When you set the documents on the platen glass, press [Start] for
each document. When scanning is complete, press [OK] to start
dialing.
