INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

If the receiving party is busy
If the receiving party is busy, the transmission is temporarily canceled and then automatically re-attempted after a brief interval (two attempts are made at an interval of 3 minutes*). If you do not want the machine to re-attempt the transmission, touch the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the transmission. (p.24) *This setting can be changed in the key operator programs ("RECALL IN CASE OF LINE BUSY" (p.100)).
If a transmission error occurs
The machine will automatically re-attempt transmission (once at an interval of one minute*1) if transmission does not end normally due to a line error or other reason, or if the other machine does not begin reception within 60 seconds*2 after the connection is established. To cancel automatic retransmission, touch the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the transmission.(p.24) *1 This setting can be changed in the key operator programs. ("RECALL IN CASE OF COMMUNICATION ERROR" (p.100)) *2 This setting can be changed in the key operator programs. ("CALL TIMER AT MEMORY SENDING" (p.100))

Image rotation

The machine is initially set to rotate a vertically-placed ( ) document 90 degrees so that it is oriented horizontally ( ) before transmission (8-1/2" x 11" originals are rotated to 8-1/2" x 11"R and A4 originals are rotated to A4R). (8-1/2" x 11"R originals and A4R originals are not rotated.) If desired, you can turn this function off with the key operator program as explained on page 100.
When a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original is faxed from the RSPF, the original size will be automatically detected. However, when the document glass is used, the size of a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original will not automatically be detected. When faxing a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original from the document glass, you must manually set the original size. ("MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING SIZE" (p.20))
Error Correction Mode (ECM)
Noise on the line can sometimes cause distortions in a transmitted fax image. When this happens, the ECM function automatically resends the part of the image that was distorted. When this function is turned on, transmission will take slightly longer than normal. In order for ECM to operate, the other machine must also have the ECM function.

MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING SIZE
If you load an original that is not a standard size (such as an AB size), or if the size is not detected correctly, you must touch the [ORIGINAL] key and set the original size manually. Perform the following steps after placing the document in the RSPF or on the document glass.

*Standard sizes:

Original sizes that can be correctly detected are 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R, 8-1/2" x 11", 8-1/2" x 11"R, 8-1/2" x 14", and 11" x 17". However, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R can only be automatically detected when the RSPF is used. If a non-standard size original is loaded (including special sizes), the closest standard size may be displayed, or the original size may not appear.
If the address directory screen appears, touch the [CONDITION SETTINGS] key to display the condition settings screen. (p.7)
If you wish to select an AB size, touch the [AB INCH] key and then touch the desired original size key. "AB" is highlighted and SPEAKER REDIAL AB size keys are ORIGINAL SIZE OK displayed.

USING POLLING MEMORY

This function sends a document previously scanned into memory to a receiving machine when the receiving machine calls and polls your machine. The machine has "memory boxes", which are memory used for the regular polling memory function, F-code polling memory, F-code confidential transmission, and F-code relay transmission ("SENDING OPTIONS" (p.102)). The polling memory function explained here uses a memory box called the "PUBLIC BOX". If desired, you can restrict polling to fax machines whose fax number you have programmed in your machine, or use ID numbers to restrict polling ("MEMORY BOXES AND SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION" (p.52)).
When using the polling memory function, do not set the reception mode to MANUAL. (p.62)
Scanning a document into polling memory (the Public Box)
Follow this procedure to scan a document into the Public Box. If other documents have already been stored in the Public Box, the new document will be added to those documents. If the previously stored documents are no longer needed, delete them ("Deleting documents from the Public Box" (p.37)) before scanning in the new document.
Touch the [PUBLIC BOX] key.
This specifies that the document will be scanned into the Public Box.
