Automatic Redial; Broadcasting Sequence; Dual Access - Ricoh 917F Operating Instructions Manual

Automatic Redial

If a fax document could not be sent because the line was busy or an error occurred during transmission,
redial is attempted at five-minute intervals up to five times.
If redialing fails after four redials, the machine cancels the transmission and prints a Communication Result
Report or Communication Failure Report.
• If there are a large number of files stored in memory, documents might not be sent in the order they
were scanned.

Dual Access

The machine can scan other documents into memory even while sending a fax document from memory,
receiving a document into memory, or automatically printing a report.
Since the machine starts sending the second document immediately after the current transmission ends, the
line is used efficiently.
• During Immediate Transmission or when in User Tools mode, the machine cannot scan an original.

Broadcasting sequence

Use the broadcasting function to send the same original to multiple destinations simultaneously.
To specify multiple destinations, specify the first destination, and then specify the next destination by pressing
[Add Dest].
If you dial several destinations for the same document (broadcasting), the documents are sent in the order
in which they were dialed. If the fax document could not be transmitted, the machine redials that destination
after the last destination specified for broadcasting. For example, if you specify four destinations, A through
D, for broadcasting, and if the lines to destinations A and C are busy, the machine dials the destinations
in the following order: A, B, C, D, A, and C.
To check the transmission progress, print the TX file list. See "Printing a List of Files in Memory (Print TX
Standby File List)".
If you specify a second transmission while broadcasting to several destinations, faxes are transmitted
alternately to each remaining destination in the current and second broadcast.
For example, if you specify a broadcast to destinations A and B, and then specify a broadcast to destinations
C and D while transmission to destination A is in progress, the machine sends the faxes in the following
order: A, C, B, and then D.
If the previous file and the next file are both on standby, these are also sent in the same order.
