Automatic Redial; Dual Access; Simultaneous Broadcast - Ricoh Aficio MP 6000 Facsimile Reference Manual

Transmission

Automatic Redial

If a fax document could not be sent because the line was busy or an error oc-
curred during transmission, the line is switched to another at five-minute inter-
1
vals and redial is attempted up to five times.
If redialing fails after four redials, the machine cancels the transmission and
prints a Communication Result Report or Communication Failure Report.
Note
❒ If there are a large number of files stored in memory, documents might not be
sent in the order they were scanned.

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.
