Batch Transmission - Sharp FO-5600 Operation Manual

YF <P=001>
Batch transmission allows you to store a number of documents in memory at different
times for automatic transmission to one location at a set time. If you often send
documents to a particular location, this function helps reduce telephone line costs by
allowing you to conveniently send multiple documents on one connection.
Entering a batch program
To perform a batch transmission, you must first program the number of the receiving
machine and the time of transmission into a Batch Key. Any Rapid Key which has not
already been programmed can be used as a Batch Key.
If you specify a day-of-the-week in your program, the transmission will be per-
formed every week on that day. If you do not specify a day-of-the-week, the trans-
mission will be performed every day.
To program a Batch Key, follow the procedure for entering programs described in
"Entering and Using Programs" in this chapter. In Step 12 of the initial prodedure,
select "Batch transmission".
Clearing a Batch Key
To clear a Batch Key, follow the procedure described in "Clearing a Program Key" in
"Entering and using programs" in this chapter.
Storing documents for transmission
Up to 50 documents can be held in memory for batch transmissions at any one time,
regardless of the number of Batch Keys used. When you store a document, it is given
a message number to distinguish it from other documents sent in the same batch.
If no documents have been stored under a Batch Key when the time for transmis-
sion arrives, no transmission will take place.
