5.4 FAX COMMUNICATION FEATURES
5.4.1 DOCUMENT SERVER
The base copier's scanner scans the original at the selected resolution. The BiCU video
processes the data and transfers it to the controller board.
Then the controller stores the data in the page memory for the copier function, and compresses
the data in MMR (by software) to store it in the HDD. If image rotation will be done, the image is
rotated in the page memory before compression.
For transmission, the stored image data is transferred to the FCU. The FCU decompresses the
image data, then recompresses and/or reduces the data if necessary for transmission. The NCU
transmits the data to the line.
The documents can be stored in the HDD (Document Server) from the fax application. The stored
documents in the document sever can be used for the fax transmission in many times. More than
one document and the scanned document can be combined into one file and then the file can be
transmitted.

When using the document server, the SAF memory is not used.

The document is compressed with MMR and stored.

Up to 9,000 pages can be stored (1 file: Up to 1,000 pages) from the fax application.


Scanned documents are given a name automatically, such as "FAX001". But it is possible to
change the file name, user name and password.
