Memory Transmission and Direct 
Transmission
There are two methods for sending documents with this machine: memory 
transmission and direct transmission.
Memory Transmission
With this method, the fax transmission starts after the entire document is 
scanned and stored in the memory. The total number of pages is automati-
cally printed with the page number in the header. However, the memory may 
become full if there are many pages in the document or if the data is large 
due to the fine image quality (resolution).
Direct Transmission
With this method, the transmission is performed in real time in the transmis-
sion sequence of the destinations. If there are many pages in the document, 
the fax can be sent with this method without the memory becoming full.
"
As a default, 
MEMORY
 TX
 (memory transmission) is selected. The 
default setting can be changed from the UTILITY menu. For details, 
refer to “FAX TX OPERATION” on page 2-24.

Direct transmission cannot be used together with duplex (dou-
ble-sided) document transmission.
Changing the Transmission Method
The transmission method can be temporarily changed from the default set-
ting.
