Furuno FAX-30 Manual De Usuario

2. FAX OPERATION: NAVNET 

This section shows you to manually receive a facsimile broadcast. For example, 
you may want to receive a facsimile broadcast already in progress or receive 
from a facsimile station that does not use start and stop signals. Further, you 
may wish to stop reception to receive an image from a different station. 
 
To manually receive a facsimile, you will first need to set a channel, referring to 
paragraph 2.1. Then, do the following: 
 
1.  At the standby display, press the WX FAX soft key. 
2.  Press the RCV WX FAX soft key. 
3.  Press the START RX soft key. 

The options shown are IOC (Index of Cooperation)/speed.

4.  Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose the correct combination of IOC and 

speed of the facsimile transmitting station. IOC is the line density standard 
assigned by WMO: IOC 576, high density, IOC 288, low density. Speed is the 
rotation speed of the drum (on which the original image is fitted) at the 
facsimile transmitter: 60, 90 ,120, 180 or 240 rpm.   

5.  Press the ENTER soft key. 
6.  Press the RETURN soft key. 
 
Then, the FAX-30 will receive the current broadcast from the station selected. 
Facsimile images are received line by line, taking 30-40 minutes to receive 
depending on the size of the image and drum rotation speed at the facsimile 
station. After a facsimile image is received it is compressed and stored in the 
image memory and then posted on the “Thumbnails of received images” screen 
(see paragraph 2.4). This process takes 3-5 minutes. You can see the image 
being received by pressing the WX FAX soft key on the fax standby display and 
then hitting the RCV WX FAX soft key.
