Real Time Transmission3
When you are sending a fax, the machine will 
scan the document into the memory before 
sending it. Then, as soon as the telephone 
line is free, the machine will start dialing and 
sending.
Sometimes, you may want to send an 
important document immediately, without 
waiting for memory transmission. You can do 
this by turning on  Real Time TX.

Delayed Batch Transmission 
(Black & White only)3
Before sending the delayed faxes, your 
machine will help you economize by sorting 
all the faxes in the memory by destination and 
scheduled time. All delayed faxes that are 
scheduled to be sent at the same time to the 
same fax number will be sent as one fax to 
save transmission time.

Polling overview3
Polling lets you set up your machine so other 
people can receive faxes from you, but they 
pay for the call. It also lets you call somebody 
else’s fax machine and receive a fax from it, 
so you pay for the call. The polling feature 
needs to be set up on both machines for this 
to work. Not all fax machines support polling.
