# SPECIFYING THE TIME FOR COMMUNICATION(TIMER)

## Overview

Specify a time at which a transmission or broadcast transmission will automatically take place. Transmission begins automatically at the specified time.

This function is helpful when you wish to perform reserved, broadcast or other transmissions during your absence or at night or other times when telephone rates are low. A timer setting can also be specified for polling reception to receive a fax when you are not present.

- When a timer transmission is set, keep the main power switch "". Transmission will not take place if the status is "" at the specified time.
- When performing a timer transmission, you must scan the original into memory when you set up the transmission. It is not possible to leave the document in the document feeder tray or on the document glass and have it scanned at the reserved time of transmission.
- Up to 94 timer transmissions can be stored at once.
- This function cannot be used in direct transmission mode or when the speaker is used to dial.

- If another transmission is in progress when the specified time arrives, the timer operation will begin after that transmission is finished.
- Only one timer polling operation can be stored at once. To receive data from multiple destinations by polling, specify Timer for serial polling.
- Settings selected for a timer transmission (exposure, resolution, other functions, etc.) are automatically cleared after the transmission is finished. (However, when the document filing function is used, the scanned original and settings are stored in the built-in hard drive.)
- If a job scheduled for timer transmission is given priority on the job status screen, the timer will be cancelled. The transmission will begin as soon as the job in progress is completed.
  - PRIORITY PROCESSING OF A RESERVED JOB
- The time can be specified up to a week in advance.
- Other operations can be performed after a timer transmission is set up.
- A timer transmission can be deleted in the job status screen.
