Direct Send When sending a fax in monochrome, the scanned document is temporarily stored in the printer's
memory. Therefore, sending a lot of pages may cause the printer to run out of memory and stop
sending the fax. You can avoid this problem by enabling the Direct Send feature. However, it takes
longer to send the fax because the printer performs scanning and sending simultaneously. You can
use this feature when there is only one recipient.
