This function allows you to store the steps of an operation, including the destination and scanning settings, into a
program. When you want to send a document to that destination, you can simply call up the program and the steps will
be performed automatically. This function is convenient when you frequently send documents, such as a daily report,
to the same destination. Up to eight programs can be stored.

NOTES
• A program differs from a timer transmission (page 3-4) in that it is not cleared from memory after transmission takes place. A

program thus allows you to repeatedly perform the same type of transmission. Note, however, that programs do not allow you
to establish a timer setting for transmission.

• With the exception of polling, reception operations cannot be stored in a program.

Programs can be stored using the custom settings, and a name up to 18 characters long can be assigned.

The following settings can be stored in a program:

• Destination fax number     • Polling     • Dual Page Scan     • Resolution and exposure

Auto-dial keys (one-touch or group keys) are used to store the destination fax number. A full number cannot be
entered using the numeric keys. When storing a broadcast transmission or serial polling operation in a program, up to
300 destination fax numbers can be stored.

Do not load a document if you are performing a polling
operation.
If you are going to use Dual Page Scan (previous page),
place the document on the document glass.

When printing is not possible because of a paper, toner, or other problem, you can transfer received faxes to another
fax machine if that machine has been appropriately programmed in your machine. This function can be conveniently
used in an office or other workplace where there is another fax machine connected to a different phone line. When a
fax has been received to memory, the DATA light to the right of the IMAGE SEND key blinks.

NOTES
• When the transfer instruction is issued, all data that has been received in memory to that point is transferred. The page that

was being printed when the problem occurred and all following pages will be transferred.

• Data cannot be selected for transfer. Data received to a confidential memory box (page 4-6) cannot be transferred.

• The result of transfer is indicated on an activity report (page 7-3).

■

Use the key operator program to program the number of the transfer destination (page 8-8). Only one fax number
can be programmed. The transfer function cannot be used unless a number is programmed.

The machine automatically

If you do not wish to transfer
the data, touch the NO key.

NOTES
• To cancel transfer

Press the JOB STATUS key, and then cancel the transfer
in the same way as a transmission (refer to page 2-6).
The data that was going to be transferred will return to
print standby status in your machine.

• If the transfer is not possible because the line is busy or

a transmission error occurs, the data returns to print
standby status in your machine.

This chapter explains F-code transmission, which gives you a conve-
nient means of performing advanced operations such as relay broadcast
transmission and confidential transmission. Normally these functions re-
quire that the other fax machine be a similar Sharp machine; however, F-
code transmission enables these functions to be performed with any other
machine that supports F-code transmission. Please read those sections
which are of interest to you.

This machine supports the "F-code" standard as established by the ITU-T*.
The F-code standard makes it possible to perform special operations such as relay broadcast and confidential
transmission, which previously could only be performed with another similar Sharp machine, with any other machine
that also supports F-codes.
Before using any of the functions explained in this chapter, verify that the other fax machine supports F-codes and the
function that you wish to use (the other machine may use a different name for the function).

*The ITU-T is a United Nations organization that establishes communications standards. It is a department of the International

Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services.

Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a "memory box" in the unit's memory. The
memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another
machine polls that machine. Up to 100 memory boxes can be created for a variety of purposes, and a name can be
assigned to each box. A "sub-address" that indicates the box's location in memory must be programmed, and if
desired, a passcode can also be programmed to control access to the box.

*The Public Box is used for normal serial polling (page 3-5).

When communication occurs involving a memory box, the communication will only take place if the sub-address and
passcode that the other machine sends match the sub-address and passcode programmed in your machine for that
box. Therefore, to allow communication, you must inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the
memory box. Likewise, to send a document to a memory box in another machine or use polling to retrieve a document
from that memory box, you must know the sub-address and passcode of that memory box.
Memory boxes are managed in this machine not only by sub-addresses and passcodes (which are number sequences), but
also by names. For example, for the memory box with the sub-address, "7732123", and the passcode, "1115", you could
assign the name "Product Planning". Assigning names makes it easier to manage memory boxes. (Note that you do not need
to inform the other party of a memory box name; the other party only needs to know the sub-address and passcode.)
This machine uses the term "sub-address" for the location of the memory box and the term "passcode" for the
password that allows communication; however, other fax machines of other manufacturers may use different terms.
When asking the other party for a sub-address and passcode, you may find it useful to refer to the 3-character
alphabetical terminology used by the ITU-T.
