Flow of Sending Fax Operations

This section describes the flow of operations for sending a fax.

IMPORTANT
The send settings for the last send job may be retained except the specified destinations. To cancel the settings, press (Reset). The specified destinations are not retained.

Place your originals.

NOTE
For information on placing your originals, see "Placing Originals."

Press [Fax] → specify the desired destinations.

If the desired function is not displayed on the Main Menu screen, press [Show All].

IMPORTANT
If [Fax] is set to 'On' in [Limit New Destination], you cannot enter new destinations. In this case, select a stored destination by using the Local Address Book, the Remote Address Book, LDAP server, or One-touch Buttons. (See "Restricting Sending to New Addresses.")

NOTE

You can specify and send to up to 256 destinations at the one time. However, if you specify a group address as a destination, each address stored in that group is counted as one destination.

The icons that are displayed on the screen are:

:	Fax
:	Group

For instructions on selecting a destination in the address book, see the procedure below.

Specifying Destinations Using the Address Book (Local)

For instructions on specifying a new destination, see the procedure below.

Entering a New Fax Number

Press [Options] → specify the settings as necessary.

You can press [Options] to select useful scanning modes. You can also use modes in combination.

Press

to display the desired mode.

For more information on setting each mode, see the corresponding section.

Since the machine does not have a function for automatically detecting the size of a placed original, the original size must be specified manually. However, the machine can distinguish between LTR and LGL originals that are loaded into the feeder when [Auto (LTR/LGL)] is selected.

Press

(Start).

If the original is placed on the platen glass, follow the instructions that appear on the touch panel display → press

(Start).

When scanning is complete, press [Start Sending].

Scan the original again from the first page if a message appears indicating that scanning was cancelled because the data size for the scanned original exceeded the maximum data size.

You may be able to perform scanning by changing the following settings.

-Lower the resolution (See "Setting the Resolution.")

-Reduce the sharpness (See "Adjusting the Image Sharpness.")

NOTE
If you set the Preview mode, you can verify the images from the Preview screen before sending your document. (See "Preview.") If the output paper in the recipient's machine is not equal to the scanned document size, the original image may be either reduced in size or divided into smaller parts when it is printed.

When scanning is complete, remove your originals.

IMPORTANT
After a job is sent, the send settings may be retained except the specified destinations. To cancel the settings, press (Reset). To send other jobs with the same settings, specify destinations for the jobs as the destination specified for the previous job is not retained.
