Use Direct Sending when the memory is full, and you still need to send a document.
Direct sending scans and sends one page at a time without storing the document in
memory. This enables you to send a document even when the memory is full.

computer with the domain name.
Domain Name System server. A server which maintains a database that translates
the domain names of Internet servers, such as www.w3.org, into Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses, such as "18.176.0.26". This enables clients to connect to a server
with a host name rather than a numeric IP address.

individual computers and users. The internet is managed by classifying domains
according to geographical location or type (business, organization, educational
institution, etc.).
