# STARTING A TRANSMISSION AT A SPECIFIED TIME (TIMER)

## Overview

You can set a time at which a transmission or broadcast transmission will automatically take place.
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.

- If another transmission is in progress when the specified time arrives, the timer transmission will begin after that transmission is finished.
- Settings selected for a timer transmission (exposure, resolution, and other functions) are automatically cleared after the transmission is finished. (However, when the document filing function is used, the scanned original image and settings are stored in the built-in hard drive.)
- If a job scheduled for timer transmission is given priority on the job management screen, the timer will be cancelled. The transmission will begin as soon as the job in progress is completed.
- 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 on the job management screen.

- 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. You cannot 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 100 timer transmissions can be stored at once.
