ADDRESS

The fax function includes a convenient auto dial feature (one-touch dialing and group dialing). By programming frequently dialed numbers, you can call and send documents to these locations by means of a simple dialing operation (refer to page 2-4). There are two types of auto-dialing: one-touch dialing and group dialing. To program auto-dial numbers, refer to pages 6-3, 6-6.

 One-touch dialing

Simply press a one-touch key and then press the [Start] key to dial the programmed location. A name of up to 36 characters can be programmed for the location (a maximum of 18 characters are displayed). When using F-code transmission, a sub-address and passcode can also be programmed (refer to page 4-2).

 Group dialing

Multiple one-touch dial locations can be programmed into a single one-touch key. This is convenient for successively sending a document to multiple locations.

• Full fax numbers entered with the numeric keys can also be stored in group keys.

 Speed dialing

When a one-touch key or group key is stored in the address book, the machine automatically assigns it a 3-digit speed dial number. The key and 3-digit Speed Dial number can be used to abbreviate the transmission procedure.

 Redialing

The machine keeps the last fax number dialed with the numeric keys in memory. You can redial the last number dialed by simply touching the [RESEND] key.

• If numeric keys were pressed during a phone conversation, the [RESEND] key may not dial the correct number.

• If the previous transmission was a broadcast transmission in which one-touch keys were used, the [RESEND] key cannot be used.

Touch the [ADDRESS] key in the initial screen to display the left screen.

 On-hook dialing

This is a dialing function. This feature allows you to dial without lifting an extension phone connected to the machine. Touch the [SPEAKER] key, listen for the dial tone through the speaker, and then dial.

• Faxes must be sent manually when using on-hook dialing.

• On-hook dialing is not possible using a one-touch key that includes a sub-address and passcode, or a group dial key.

NOTES

 Programmed one-touch keys and group dial keys are stored on "index cards". A one-touch key or group key can

be easily accessed by touching the index key. (Refer to on page 1-5.)

 To prevent calling or sending a fax to a wrong number, look carefully at the touch panel and make sure you

program the correct number when programming an auto-dial number. After storing a number, you can also print out the stored number (Refer to page 6-16) to make sure it was stored correctly.

Scanning begins.

If there are no previous

jobs in progress and the

line is free, the machine

will dial the receiving

machine and begin

transmission as soon as

the first page is scanned. Transmission will take place while any remaining pages are scanned (Quick on-line transmission: see page 2-8). If there is a previously stored job or a job is in progress, or if the line is being used, all pages of the document are scanned into memory and stored as a transmission job. (This is called memory transmission: the destination is automatically called and the document transmitted after previously stored jobs are completed.) If scanning is completed normally, the machine makes a beep sound to inform you that the transmission job is stored and "JOB STORED." appears in the message display.

Entering a pause.

Each time you touch the [PAUSE] key, a hyphen ("-") appears and a 2-second pause* is inserted. The [PAUSE] key is also be used to link numbers together (this is called chain dialing). Enter a number, touch the [PAUSE] key to enter a hyphen "-", and then enter another number with the numeric keys or by pressing a one-touch key. The linked numbers will be dialed as one number.

* The duration of each pause can be changed with

the key operator program. ("Pause time setting" on page 8-6.)

Press the [START] key.

If you have another page to scan, change

pages and then press the [START] key.

Repeat this sequence until all pages have been scanned. You can change the resolution and exposure settings as needed for each page (refer to pages 1-10 and 1-11). If the [START] key is not pressed within approximately one minute, scanning will end automatically and the transmission will be stored.

NOTES  Cancelling transmission

To cancel transmission while "SCANNING ORIGINAL..." appears in the display or before the [READ-END] key is pressed, press the [C] key or the [CA] key. To cancel a transmission job that is already stored, press the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the job as explained on page 2-9.

 If the machine makes two beeps during or at the end of transmission and an error message appears in the

message display, refer to page 7-3 to fix the problem.

 If the power is turned off or a power failure occurs while a document is being scanned in the automatic document

feeder, the machine will stop and a document jam will occur. After power is restored, remove the document as explained on page 2-22 of "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation)".

 A job number appears in the display with "JOB STORED." when a transmission job is stored. If you make a note

of this number, you can use the number to easily locate the job when checking the results of the transmission in the job status screen for a broadcast transmission, or in the transaction report (page 7-2) or activity report (page 7-3) for other types of transmission jobs.
