You can set your fax always to transmit from memory as a default.
Note: Whichever choice you make, you can override that choice one transmission

tion, your fax will return to your desired transmission setting.
Note: Although it's probably best to decide to transmit from memory, be aware that
certain types of documents can quickly exhaust even your machine's large
memory supply. Obviously, documents with large numbers of pages qualify;
so do documents with lots of dark areas, since darker pages create more
data for your fax machine to "remember" and send. When the machine's
memory supply is full, it can transmit only in normal (i. e., non-memory)
mode.

from an office telephone system, or 1 for long-distance) along with the num-
ber, just as you would for a regular phone call.

Now, everything is up to the machines — yours and the one you're dialing.
• If you have set the fax to transmit from memory, your machine will first
scan the document into memory, then dial the other fax. When it makes
contact, your machine transmits the stored document from memory.
• If the fax is set for non-memory transmission, your machine simply dials
the other fax. When it makes contact, your machine feeds the document
through, scanning and transmitting it as it goes.
Note: The more "stuff" (or black coverage, to use the fax term) your machine
"sees" on a page, the more slowly the page will feed through as the fax
scans it — especially when you transmit in non-memory mode. Even
if the page itself is relatively clean, sending it in grayscale mode or
certain resolution settings makes your machine "see" more "stuff."
The same is true if you set the contrast to Dark.
Note: What if the call fails for some reason? See "If the call doesn't go
through: redialing," next page.
