ENDING Broadcast Transmission Your Minoltafax 1300 can send documents from the memory up to 50 programmed stations using the one-touch keys, the speed dial numbers and the numeric keys with one single operation. You can program up to 10 different numbers. Approximately 30 ITU test pages No. 1 can be stored in the memory for transmission.
There are two methods for this operation: secure polling and open polling. In case of secure polling a 4 digit password can be programmed and another Minoltafax 1300 can poll the transmission. All other group 3 fax machines can use the open polling. In this case the password must be set to "0000".
Description Display Place the document in the document NORMAL feeder and adjust the paper guides. Press [SPEED DIAL]. S.D : Press [#]. A beep confirms the entry. 4800BPS SET Proceed with the transmission as usual. Minoltafax 1300...

Combination with an Answering Machine (ANSWER) The Minoltafax 1300 can be combined with an answering machine. When set to answer mode, the machine operates as follows. If no message is left within 6 seconds after the answering machine turns on, the Minoltafax emits the fax signal and receives the data.
Press [SET]. The machine dials the number and receives the data. After the process the Minoltafax returns to standby mode. Press [STOP] twice, to interrupt the process. Press [STOP], if you have entered a wrong telephone number to terminate the procedure. Minoltafax 1300...
<ABRUFZEIT 13:00> Memory Receiving The Minoltafax 1300 receives data in the memory, if the machine runs out of paper or ink during the reception. In this case the display shows <Rx. IN MEMORY> alternating with the cause for the problem (PRINTER ERROR, CHECK PAPER or INK EMPTY).
With this function you can limit the number of possible senders of fax messages to the ones programmed as speed dial or one-touch keys in your Minoltafax. The feature is activated by software switch No. 26 (cf. "Programming User Software Switches"). Additionally, the other party has to send a password. Minoltafax 1300...
OPYING 6 Copying Your Minoltafax 1300 makes up to 99 copies of one original. The machine uses the memory for this, so that the number of pages of the original may be limited. (Cf. section "Memory Receiving" in chapter 5.) The original is read in fine mode also if the resolution is set to normal.
The setting is active until it is changed again manually. If you select OFF in step 3, the machine still reduces the copy to 97 % if it would be printed on two pages. To change this setting use software switch No. 50. Minoltafax 1300...
