SELECTING THE TRANSMISSION MODE
The machine has two modes for sending faxes: memory transmission and direct transmission. To change modes,
press the [MEMORY] key. The MEMORY indicator lights up when memory transmission is selected, and goes off
when direct transmission is selected.

Transmission takes place as follows in each mode:

Memory transmission (the MEMORY indicator is lit)
When a fax is sent from the RSPF and there are no previously stored fax jobs and no job in progress (the telephone
line is not being used), dialing and scanning begin at the same time. Each page is transmitted after it is scanned.
This transmission method is called Quick Online transmission.
If there are previously stored fax jobs or a job in progress, or the fax is being sent from the document glass, the fax
is temporarily scanned into memory before transmission.

Note

When a fax is sent by transmission reservation (p.68), broadcast transmission (p.69), broadcasting using a Group
key (p.70), or timer transmission (p.77), the fax is scanned into memory before transmission.

Direct transmission (the MEMORY indicator is off)
The fax is sent directly after the destination is dialed and the connection established.
The machine memory is not used for direct transmission, and thus direct transmission is possible even when the
memory is full.

Note

• A fax job cannot be stored while a direct transmission is in progress.
• Only one page can be sent from the document glass by direct transmission.
• A subsequent function cannot be used while a direct transmission is in progress.

FOR MANUAL RECEPTION" (p.28)). You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by
picking up the receiver on the extension phone.
● A.M. mode:
Select this mode when an answering machine is connected to the machine and you want the answering machine
to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out.
To select the reception mode, press the [RECEPTION MODE] key until the desired reception mode appears in the

HOW TO USE THE FAX FUNCTION

The machine offers a range of sophisticated features that allow you to control image quality, reception mode,
broadcasting, polling, and transmission priorities. Functions such as sending original(s) from memory and
substituting reception into memory are possible, due to the large memory capacity.

SENDING ORIGINALS
SETTING THE ORIGINAL
This section describes setting original(s) in the RSPF or on the document glass.
When Using the RSPF:

1

Confirm that there are no original(s)
on the document glass and that
copying is not in progress, then
gently close the RSPF.

2

Adjust the original guides to the width
of your original(s).

3

Place the original(s) face up and push
it gently into the document feeder
tray. The top edge of the original(s)
should enter the fax first.

4

There are two ways to send the fax:
• To scan the original into memory, then dial and
transmit, continue with the "DIALING AND
TRANSMITTING" section. (p.56)
• To dial and transmit the original directly without
first scanning it into memory, press the
[MEMORY] key to make the [MEMORY] key
indicator go off. Continue with the "DIALING

HOW TO USE THE FAX FUNCTION

RESOLUTION
To do this, press the [RESOLUTION] key one or more times until the desired resolution settings appear in the
display, and then press the [OK] key.
Your fax has five resolution settings:
• STANDARD
Use STANDARD for ordinary originals. This setting gives you the fastest transmission.
• FINE
Use FINE for improved reproduction, especially with originals containing small letters or fine drawings.
• SUPER FINE
Use SUPER FINE when you need the highest quality of reproduction.
• FINE (HALF TONE)
Use FINE (HALF TONE) if your original is a photograph or has gradations of color (such as a color original). This
setting will produce a clearer image than Fine used alone.
• S. FINE (HALF TONE)
Use S.FINE (HALF TONE) if your original is a photograph or has gradations of color (such as a color original). This
setting will produce a clearer image than Super fine used alone.
In order to transmit with FINE or SUPER FINE resolution, the receiving fax machine must also have that resolution.
If it doesn't, the next best available setting will be used.
If you do not change the setting, the resolution set using the RESOLUTION PRIORITY (p.35) setting will be
automatically selected.

CONTRAST
The fax automatically controls the contrast, but you can also control it manually. To do this, press the [CONTRAST]
key one or more times until the desired contrast settings appear in the display, and then press the [OK] key. The
three contrast levels are MEDIUM, DARK, and LIGHT.

RECEIVING FAXES
You can set the machine to one of three modes of reception, AUTO, MAN. , or A.M. (Answering Machine).
To select the reception mode, press the [RECEPTION MODE] key until the desired reception mode appears in the
display.
NOV 05 WED 8:20 AM
STAD-BY
AUTO 100%

USING AUTO MODE
Select AUTO mode when you only want to receive faxes on your telephone line. The machine will automatically
answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.

USING MAN. MODE
MAN. is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls if you have an extension phone. To have true manual
mode, the machine must be set to not answer while in MANUAL mode (See "SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS
FOR MANUAL RECEPTION" (p.28)). You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by
picking up the receiver on the extension phone or telephone connected to the same line.

USING A.M. MODE
Select this mode when an answering machine is connected to the machine and you want the answering machine to
answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes when you are out.

60

OPTIONAL RECEPTION SETTINGS
The machine has various optional settings for the reception of faxes.

TWO-SIDED RECEPTION (MX-B201D only)
This function is used to print a received fax consisting of two or more pages of the same size on both sides of the
paper. Even if the pages are in different orientations, the pages are rotated appropriately to enable printing on both
sides of the paper.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

MEMORY
Your machine has a memory area that can be used to store both incoming faxes and outgoing originals.
● Approximately 120 pages of average content can be held in memory for transmission and reception. Less can be
held if any of the pages were scanned using fine or superfine resolution.

Substitute Reception into Memory
This is a back-up function that is automatically activated if your fax runs out of paper, the toner cartridge needs
replacement (See the Operation Guide for digital multifunctional system.), or the paper jams.
• If you received originals in memory because the fax ran out of paper, be sure to add paper which is the same size
as the paper previously used. If not, the original print-out size may not match the size of the printing paper.

Note

Take care that the remaining memory does not become 7% or less, or you cannot receive any more faxes.
When the machine is idle, the LCD shows the stand-by memory available. (See "ABOUT THE LIQUID CRYSTAL
DISPLAY" (p.17)).

65

DATA TRANSFER
If there is a problem with the machine, you can use the Data Transfer function to have received faxes read into
memory and then sent to a different fax machine for printing.
This function is used when you cannot print received faxes, for example when the machine runs out of toner, or a
misfeed occurs.
To use this function, the fax number of the transfer destination machine must be programmed.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

POLLING TRANSMISSION (MEMORY POLLING)
This function is used to transmit an original that has been scanned into memory to a fax machine that polls your fax
machine. If desired, polling fax machines can be restricted to machines whose fax numbers have been programmed
in your machine ("RESTRICTING POLLING MACHINES (POLLING SECURITY)" on page 75).
To let other fax machines poll your fax machine, the original to be transmitted must be scanned into memory and the
reception mode of your machine must be set to "Auto".
You can select whether polling transmission will take place once or repeatedly. If once is selected, the original that
was scanned into memory will be automatically deleted after polling transmission takes place. If repeated polling
transmission is selected, the original will remain in memory until it is deleted.
More than one original can be scanned into polling memory (all originals will transmitted when your machine is
polled).
Only one memory polling operation can be set up, and the polling machine must be capable of polling reception.
The original(s) in polling memory will be transmitted when a fax machine calls your fax machine and requests polling
transmission. Automatic fax reception is possible while your machine is on polling transmission standby.
