Advanced Sending Methods

This section describes some additional features for sending documents.

Authenticating Users Before Sending Documents (Authorized Send)

If your network uses directory services such as Active Directory, we recommend that you use also Authorized Send. Authorized Send is an authentication feature that enables you to prevent unauthorized users from sending documents from the machine. With this feature activated, any user who wants to send documents needs to enter a valid user name and password.
Flow of Sending Documents with Authorized Send
1. A user who attempts to send documents is prompted to enter a valid user name and password.
2. Entered information is checked in the authentication server against the directory database to authenticate the user.
3. The machine receives the authentication results from the authentication server.
4. Once authenticated, the authorized user can send documents to the specified destination.
What you can do with Authorized Send
In addition to authenticating users, Authorized Send enables you to do the following:
Carry over the login information (both user name and password, or user name only) from Authorized Send to other authentication systems such as SMTP authentication
Restrict the destinations of sending documents to the e-mail address and folder of a logged on user
Enable/disable sending functionalities
To use Authorized Send, specify authentication server settings and other settings in the machine beforehand. (Customizing Settings)
This section describes how to log in to Authorized Send and introduces an easier way to send documents to the e-mail address and folder of a logged on user.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the network environment, set up of the authentication server may be required beforehand.

Sending Documents to Your E-Mail Address Using Authorized Send

Authorized Send offers an easy way to specify your e-mail address as the destination when you send documents via e-mail. The machine automatically obtains your e-mail address from an authentication server during communication with the server when you log in to Authorized Send. With the press of [Send Mail To Self], you can specify your e-mail address as destination.
The following describes how to use Authorized Send to specify your e-mail address as destination.
IMPORTANT
To specify your e-mail address as destination, make sure of the following:
[Allow] or [Only allow sending to own address] in [E-mail Send] is selected. (Customizing Settings)
Your e-mail address attribute is registered on an authentication server. (Consult your network administrator.)
1
Follow steps 1 to 6 in Logging in to Authorized Send.
The top screen (Send) appears.
2
Press [New Address].
3
Press [Send Mail To Self].

Sending Documents to Your Folder Using Authorized Send

Authorized Send offers an easy way to specify your folder as the destination when you send documents to a file server. If Active Directory is used as an authentication server, the machine automatically obtains your home directory name (folder name) from an authentication server during communication with the server when you log in to Authorized Send. With the press of [Send File To Self], you can specify this folder as destination.
The following describes how to use Authorized Send to specify your folder as destination.
IMPORTANT
To specify your folder as destination, make sure of the following:
[Allow] or [Only allow sending to own address or specified folder] in [File Send] is selected. (Customizing Settings)
Your home directory attribute is registered on an authentication server. (Consult your network administrator.)
If Active Directory is not used as an authentication server, or you want to manually specify your folder as destination, the folder specified in [Folder Path] under [Specify destination folder] is used as the destination when [Send File To Self] is pressed. (Customizing Settings)
1
Follow steps 1 to 6 in Logging in to Authorized Send.
The top screen (Send) appears.

Specifying the Time to Start Sending (Delayed Send)

The Delayed Send mode enables you to store a send job in memory, and have it sent at a later time.
NOTE
You can reserve up to 64 jobs for the Delayed Send mode. However, the actual number of jobs that can be reserved may be less than 64 under the following conditions:
If multiple documents are being sent at the same time
If large documents are being sent
The maximum number of delayed send jobs might also be reduced if there are jobs other than those for the Delayed Send mode or if there are other factors affecting the specified destinations.
The Delayed Send mode cannot be used when:
Sending scanned documents to a USB memory media device
Sending fax documents in the Direct Sending mode or Manual Sending mode
Once the delayed documents are sent, the documents are automatically deleted from memory.
You can check the status or cancel the transmission of jobs for which a preset send time has been specified. (Checking / Deleting Documents Being Sent or Waiting To Be Sent)
If multiple send jobs reach their delayed send time simultaneously, documents are sent in the following order:
1
Press (SEND) → place your originals → specify the destination.
NOTE:
For instructions on how to place your originals, see Basic Operations.
For instructions on how to specify the destination, see Basic Sending Methods or Specifying Destinations Easily and Quickly.

The document is stored in memory, and sent to the specified destination at the specified time.
NOTE:
You can cancel a delayed send job from the System Monitor screen. (Checking / Deleting Documents Being Sent or Waiting To Be Sent)

Sending Documents to More Than One Destination (Sequential Broadcast)

Sequential Broadcast enables you to scan documents once and send them to several destinations. With this sending method, you can send the same document to a maximum of 532 destinations.
NOTE
If you frequently send documents to multiple destinations, it is recommended that you store those destinations as a group address. (Group Addresses)
If you specify destinations using a group address, each destination is counted as a separate address.
When Restrict Sequential Broadcast in Restrict the Send Function is set to ‘Prohibit Broadcast’, you cannot send documents to multiple destinations if these destinations contain a fax address. (Setting the Send Function)
You cannot cancel sending the document to only one destination out of the multiple destinations.

Calling from an Extension

When calling an outside line from an extension, the outside line access number (such as 0) is normally dialed before the destination fax number. Likewise, when the machine is connected to an extension, the outside line access number needs to be entered before fax numbers. You can also enter a pause time (i.e., the amount of time the machine waits after dialing the outside line access number when calling from an extension) together with these numbers.
1
Press (SEND) → place your originals.
NOTE:
For instructions on how to place your originals, see Basic Operations.
2
Press [New Address] → [Fax].
NOTE:
If Fax Send is set to ‘Do not allow’, [Fax] is not displayed. (Customizing Settings)
3
Press [R].
If you have not registered the outside line access number in the R-key, [R] is not available. Use - (numeric keys) to enter the outside line access number.
NOTE:
For instructions on how to register the outside access number in the R-key, see Setting the Send Function.
4
Press [Pause].
NOTE:
The pause time differs in length, depending on whether it is entered in the middle or at the end of a fax number.
The pause time entered in the middle of a fax number (lower-case p) is set to two seconds long by default. This can be changed to any length between 1 and 15 seconds. (Adjusting the Pause Time)
The pause time entered at the end of a fax number (upper-case P) is set to 10 seconds long. (This length cannot be changed.)
Two or more pauses can be entered consecutively.
Enter the pause time equivalent in length to the time required for the outside line dial tone to be heard after the outside line access number is called.
