Batch transmission
Broadcasting (see pages 114-116) gets the same document to multiple
locations, but what about the reverse? What if you could just stack several
documents into an electronic "file" and then send the entire contents of that
file via fax to one location? Well, you can: it's called batch transmission.
If there are several documents you want to transmit to the same location,
you can store up to 40 documents (not pages) into your machine's electronic
batch boxes. The machine can use up to five of these batch boxes, in which
you designate in advance when the transmission is to occur and to what
remote number it should go. When that date and time arrives, your machine
will transmit each document in the batch box to the remote fax machine.
Creating or modifying a batch box
The first step to using the batch transmission feature is to create batch
boxes in your fax machine. This procedure also lets you modify existing
batch boxes.
Important:
To erase a batch box, see "Erasing an empty batch box"
(page 126).
To create or modify a batch box:
1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.
2. Press PROGRAM, N, 1, ENTER. Depending on whether you already
have a number entered for batch box 1, the display shows either:
Select Batch Box
1:No Number Stored
If this is the batch box you want to set, skip to step 5. (However, our
sample displays from here on will refer to batch box 3 rather than
batch box 1.)
3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the number (1-5) of the batch box
you wish to create or modify. Here, we've pressed 3 and see either:
Select Batch Box
3:No Number Stored
4. If you change your mind and wish to select a different batch box, just
use the numeric keypad to enter the correct batch box number before
going on to step 5.
