Multi-Access

This machine can perform multiple jobs using different functions, such as copying and faxing, at the same time. Performing multiple functions simultaneously is called “Multi-Access”.

The following table shows the functions that can be performed simultaneously.

Current job	Job that you want to execute simultaneously
Copy	Fax memory transmission Fax memory reception Receiving a print job from a computer (the actual printing starts after copying is finished)
Scan	Fax memory transmission Fax memory reception Immediate fax printing Printing a fax received in the machine's memory Print^*1
Print	Fax memory reception Fax memory transmission Immediate fax transmission^2 Storing a document to be faxed into the machine's memory before transmission^2 Scan^*2
Fax memory transmission (sending a fax that has already been stored in the machine's memory)	Copy Scan Print Storing a document to be faxed into the machine's memory before transmission Printing a fax received in the machine's memory
Fax memory reception (storing a received fax into the machine's memory)	Copy Scan Print Storing a document to be faxed into the machine's memory before transmission Printing a fax received in the machine's memory
Storing a document to be faxed into the machine's memory before transmission	Fax memory transmission Fax memory reception Immediate fax printing Printing a fax received in the machine's memory Print^*1
Immediate fax transmission (scanning an original and sending it simultaneously)	Printing a fax received in the machine's memory Print^*1
Printing a fax received in the machine's memory	Fax memory reception Fax memory transmission Fax immediate transmission Scan^*3 Storing a document to be faxed into the machine's memory before transmission
Immediate fax printing (receiving a fax and printing it simultaneously)	Scan^*3 Storing a document to be faxed into the machine's memory before transmission

^*1 Printing starts after scanning is finished if [Gradation] is set to [Standard] or [Fine] (PCL/DDST printer driver), or [Print Quality] in [Printer Features] is set to [High Quality] or [Best Quality] (PostScript3 printer driver).

^*2 Scanning is not possible if [Gradation] is set to [Standard] or [Fine] (PCL/DDST printer driver), or [Print Quality] in [Printer Features] is set to [High Quality] or [Best Quality] (PostScript3 printer driver).

^*3 Fax printing may take longer than normal if you scan using the control panel at the same time, especially when scanning multiple pages using the exposure glass.

If you try to use a function that cannot be performed simultaneously, you will hear a beep sound from the machine or see a failure message pop up on your computer screen. In this case, try again after the current job is finished.
