To send a fax to multiple recipients using group speed dial

1.

Load your original print-side down in the left-rear corner of the scanner glass or in the ADF.

For additional information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 27 or Load an

original in the document feeder on page 28.

NOTE: If you are using the scanner glass, ensure that the automatic document feeder is

empty. Otherwise, the printer will sense the document in the ADF instead of the paper on the

scanner glass.

2.

From the printer control panel display, touch Fax and touch then (Speed dial).

3.

Touch (Setup).

4.

Touch Group Speed Dial and follow the on-screen instruction to create a recipient group.

5.

Touch the recipient group from the Select Speed Dial screen.

6.

Touch Start Fax.

If the printer detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, it sends the document

to each number in the group speed dial entry.

NOTE: You can only use group speed dial entries to send faxes in black and white, because of

memory limitations. The printer scans the fax into memory then dials the first number. When

a connection is made, it sends the fax and dials the next number. If a number is busy or not

answering, the printer follows the settings for Busy Redial and No Answer Redial. If a connection

cannot be made, the next number is dialed and an error report is generated.

For more information about change the redial options, see Set the redial options on page 79.

Send a fax in Error Correction Mode

Error Correction Mode (ECM) prevents loss of data due to poor phone lines by detecting errors that

occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of the erroneous portion.

Phone charges are unaffected, or might even be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines,

ECM increases sending time and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. The default

setting is On. Turn ECM off only if it increases phone charges substantially, and if you can accept

poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.

Before turning the ECM setting off, consider the following. If you turn ECM off:

The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.

The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.

You can no longer send or receive faxes in color.

To change the ECM setting from the control panel

1.

From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then

touch Setup.

2.

Touch Fax Setup.

3.

Touch Advanced Fax Setup.

4.

5.
