Sending Methods (7-5)
This section explains the two main sending methods: Memory sending and
Manual sending via the handset.
Memory Sending (7-5)
Memory sending is a quick and easy way to send a document. As the FAX
scans the first page of a multipage document into its memory, it begins
calling the other party and transmitting the information even as the
remaining pages are being scanned.
1Load the document, face down in
the ADF (→p. 4-3).
2Dial a fax number by using the
numeric buttons, similar to dialling
a telephone number.
❏For dialling methods, see p. 7-4.
❏If you enter the wrong number,
press Stop, then enter the correct
number.
❏If you are connected to a PBX
and need to first dial an outside
line access number (“9”, for
example), add a pause after that
number by pressing Redial/Pause
(→p. 9-2).
3Press Start/Copy to begin scanning for
sending, or if you used speed dialling,
wait a few ′seconds for the FAX to
begin scanning automatically.
❏If the number you are calling is
busy, the FAX redials the
number automatically after a few
minutes (→p. 7-9).
