Page 35: Memory Transmission
Your fax machine has a great memory! Take advantage of it, and you could: Save Time. By using your fax machine’s memory, you won’t have to wait for your machine while it completes the transmission. Simply scan your document into your machine’s memory, and you can walk away with your original in hand.

Page 39: Reviewing Or Canceling Commands
Basic operation Reviewing or canceling commands Your fax machine can store many “jobs” in its memory. It also keeps track of each command by assigning it a command number. Delayed commands, redial attempts and current fax transmissions are all stored in your fax machine’s memory and given a command number.
Page 40 MENU Printing a stored document Your fax machine can print out each document stored for delayed transmission. To print a stored document, you’ll need to know the document’s command number, which you can get by either reviewing the commands or printing a delayed com- mand list (see above).
Page 41: Receiving Faxes
If you have one phone line ringing to several phones in your office and you have an optional handset attached to your fax, there’s no need to run to the fax machine to answer every call. If you happen to answer a fax call while you’re at another extension, put the handset down, but don’t hang up.
