Timer and Polling.
If you get an OUT OF MEMORY message while scanning the first page of a fax, press Stop/Exit
to cancel the scan. If you get an OUT OF MEMORY message while scanning in a subsequent page,
you will have the option to press Mono Fax Start to transmit the pages scanned so far, or to press

send a colour fax, the machine always starts sending the fax without scanning
the original into memory (Real Time Transmission).
I The number of pages you can scan into memory varies with the data they
contain.

Real Time Transmission

When you are sending a fax, the machine will scan documents into memory before sending. Then,
as soon as the phone line is free, the machine will start dialling and sending the fax. If memory
becomes full, the machine will send the document in real time (even if REAL TIME TX is set to
OFF).
Sometimes you may want to send an important document immediately, without waiting for memory
transmission. You can set REAL TIME TX to ON.
