Description of transmission modes
  • Memory transmission
    In this mode, the machine scans several originals into memory and sends them all at once. This is convenient when you are in a hurry and want to remove the document from the machine. In this mode, you can send a fax to multiple destinations. If the [Auto Redial] under [Transmission Setting] is enabled, the machine redials the fax destination automatically when the line is busy or a transmission error occurs. The number of redial attempts is set to two or three in five-minute intervals, depending on the [Country/Region] setting under [Administrator Tools]. You can disable [Auto Redial] under [Fax Settings]. For details, see Fax Settings.

  • Immediate transmission
    In this mode, the machine scans the original and faxes it simultaneously. This is convenient when you want to send an original quickly or when you want to check the destination you are sending to. The original is not stored in memory. You can only specify one destination. If fax is not received normally, an error message appears on the control panel.
    Immediate transmission is disabled by default.
