Dual Access; Simultaneous Broadcast - Ricoh Aficio MP 3500SP Facsimile Reference Manual

Dual Access

The machine can scan other documents into memory even while sending a fax
document from memory, receiving a document into memory, or automatically
printing a report. Since the machine starts sending the second document imme-
diately after the current transmission ends, the line is used efficiently.
Note
❒ During Immediate Transmission or when in User Tools mode, the machine
cannot scan an original.

Simultaneous Broadcast

Use this function to send the same original to multiple destinations simultaneously.
To specify multiple destinations, specify the first destination, and then specify
the next destination by pressing [Add].
If you dial several destinations for the same document (broadcasting), the docu-
ments are sent in the order in which they were dialed. If the fax document could
not be transmitted, the machine redials that destination after the last destination
specified for broadcasting. For example, if you specify four destinations, A
through D, for broadcasting, and if the lines to destinations A and C are busy,
the machine dials the destinations in the following order: A, B, C, D, A, and C.
To check the transmission progress, print the TX file list.
If the optional extra G3 interface unit is installed, you can use the Simultaneous
Broadcast function to send faxes simultaneously on different phone lines.
If you specify a second transmission while broadcasting to several destinations,
faxes are transmitted alternately to each remaining destination in the current
and second broadcast.
For example, if you specify a broadcast to destinations A and B, and then specify
a broadcast to destinations C and D while transmission to destination A is in
progress, the machine sends the faxes in the following order: A, C, B, and then D.
If the previous file and next file are both on standby, these are also sent in the
same order.
Note
❒ To avoid accidentally pressing the wrong Destination key, you can set the
machine so that each time a destination is added using a Destination key,
[Add] must be pressed. Make the setting in User Parameters (switch 17, bit 2)
in the Facsimile Features menu.
