How to Transmit a Document - Basics
You can transmit a document in several different ways. These pages explain how to transmit a docu-
ment directly from the document feeder without using the memory function. For the procedure to use
the memory function (memory transmission), see "Using Enhanced Utilities."
Overview of the Basic Transmission Procedure
Here are the basic steps to follow when transmitting a document.
1. Select the resolution (transmission image quality) according to the document's characteristies.
• Set the resolution for transmission.
2. Load the document.
• Insure the document is suitable for transmission.
• Place the document in the feeder.
3. Dial the number. (Transmit the document.)
• Use the Numeric keys to dial the number. (Manual Dialing)
• Use the One Touch Dial function.
• Use the Speed Dial function.
• Use the Combination Dial function.
• Use the Phone Book (List) function.
• Use the Phone Book (Search) function.
When the number is dialed, the fax starts scanning and transmitting the document.
Direct Communication and Memory Communication
A document can be transmitted or received through either direct or memory communication.
"Direct transmission" refers to the transmission of a document to the other party as the fax scans it.
"Direct reception" refers to printing the document while receiving it from the other party. Direct transmis-
sion and reception are collectively called direct communication.
Memory communication is the opposite of direct communication, in which the fax temporarily stores the
contents of the document being transmitted or received in its built-in memory prior to transmitting or
printing.

Features of direct communication
You can transmit long documents without concern about memory capacity. (In memory communication,
transmission or reception of a document is disabled when there is not enough memory for the docu-
ment.)
Features of memory communication
• Since the fax scans the contents of all pages of a document at high speed before starting a transmis-
sion, you can bring that document back to your desk quickly. The machine also allows you to make the
necessary settings for the transmission of another document even while transmitting or receiving the
current document.
• Memory substitute reception function: The fax will automatically switch from printing or direct recep-
tion to memory reception if the fax runs out of paper or misfeeds, insuring reception of important doc-
uments. The document received is printed as soon as paper is loaded or the misfeed is cleared.
