Memory Sending
Memory sending allows you to send a document easily and quickly. This method of sending scans the 
document into memory, and as the first page of  a multipage document is being scanned, the machine 
already begins calling the other party and transmitti ng the information even as the remaining pages are 
being scanned.
To use memory sending, you load the document, dial the fax number  ➞ press [Start]. See p. 6-15 for 
more details on memory sending.
Since the machine is multitasking, you can even scan a document into the memory while sending a 
document, receiving a document, or printing a report.
Dialing Methods
There are several ways of dialing the num ber of the party you want to send to:
■Regular DialingUse the numeric buttons to dial the recipient’s fax number.
■One-Touch Speed DialingPress the One-Touch Speed Dial button (1 to 32) under which you have registered the number you want to send to. 
See Chapter 5, “Speed Dialing,” for details on registering and using One-Touch Speed Dialing.
■Coded Speed DialingPress [Coded Dial]  ➞ enter the two-digit code (00 to 99) under which you have registered the number you want to 
send to. See Chapter 5, “Speed Dialing,” for details on registering and using Coded Speed Dialing.
■ Group DialingSend a document to a pre-defined group of fax numbers. (The numbers must already be stored as One-Touch 
Speed Dialing numbers or Coded Speed Dialing numbers.) See Chapter 5, “Speed Dialing,” for details on 
registering and using Group Dialing.
