Batch transmission

Broadcasting (see pages 2.18–2.20) gets the same document to multiple locations, but

what about the reverse? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just stack

several

documents

into an electronic “file” and then send the

entire

contents of that file via fax to

one

location? Well, you can: it’s called

batch transmission

If there are several documents you want to transmit to the same location, you can store

up to 40 documents (

not

pages) into your machine’s electronic

batch boxes

. The

machine can use up to five of these batch boxes, in which you designate in advance

when the transmission is to occur and to what remote number it should go. When that

date and time arrives, your machine will transmit each document in the batch box to the

remote fax machine.

Creating or modifying a batch box

The first step to using the batch transmission feature is to create batch boxes in your fax

machine. This procedure also lets you modify existing batch boxes.

Important:

erase

a batch box, see “Erasing an empty batch box” (page 2.25).

To create or modify a batch box:

If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press

COPY

FAX

to change to Fax mode.

Press

PROGRAM

ENTER

. Depending on whether you already have a

number entered for batch box

, the display shows either:

Select Batch Box

1:No Number Stored

Select Batch Box

1:9-1-555-345-6789

If this is the batch box you want to set, skip to step 5. (However, our sample

displays from here on will refer to batch box

rather than batch box 1.)

Use the numeric keypad to enter the number (

1-5

) of the batch box you wish to

create or modify. Here, we’ve pressed

and see either:

Select Batch Box

3:No Number Stored

Select Batch Box

3:9-555-2110

If you change your mind and wish to select a different batch box, use the

numeric keypad to enter the correct batch box number before going on.

Press

ENTER

. The display now shows either:

3:Fax Number

9-555-2110_

Use the numeric keypad to enter the fax number

exactly

as your machine

should dial it, including whatever access codes your phone system may

require. (You may want to review “Special dialing characters,” page 2.8.) The

number can be up to 40 characters in length:

3:Fax Number

9-1-555-871-9052_

Your display can show only 20 characters at a time. To view characters beyond

those 20 (such as with an international long-distance number), press to

scroll leftward or to scroll rightward.

Note:

If you make a mistake or want to erase characters entered in a

previous setting, press

CANCEL

to erase leftward. Or, if you want to

change just one character in the number, press to move the cursor

leftward, or to move it rightward, to that character and press

CANCEL

to erase it. Then re-enter until the number is just as you want

it.

When the fax number is as you want it, press

ENTER

. The display shows:

3:Transmit Time

Enter Time: 26/14:00

Instruct your fax to send from this batch box in

one

of the following ways:

Option 1: Once

at a certain time on a certain day of the month (

e.g.

, “Do

this at 5:05

on the 30th.”) — Use the numeric keypad to

enter the date and time when the fax should perform the

command:

3:Transmit Time

Enter Time: 30/17:05

Option 2:

At a certain time

each day you press the key

(

e.g.

, “Do this at

5:05

today.”) — Use the numeric keypad to enter

(

i.e.,

), and then the time when the fax should perform the

command:

3:Transmit Time

Enter Time: 00/17:05

Note:

To change a digit in the date or the time, press

to move the cursor

leftward, or to move it rightward, to that character. Then re-enter

until the number is just as you want it.

When the date and time are as you wish, press

ENTER
