Sending a Fax at Preset Time (Timer TX)
About timer transmission
The Timer TX function can send a fax at the preset time if you have set a time in advance.
If you use the timer transmission during telephone rate discount time in early morning or late at night, you can cut the communication cost. You can send up to 20 faxes by timer transmission.

The [Fax Mode Details] screen opens.
Select the [Timer Send] check box, and set the [Send Time].

When using the relay distribution, you need to check both the number of the Relay User Box defined for the relay station and the password.

To send a fax with authentication information while user authentication is enabled
Send a Fax with Authentication Information
About fax transmission for authentication setup
If user authentication and account track have already been employed, each user needs to send his/her authentication information (the user name and password) to this machine when sending PC-Fax. This limits the users who can send PC-Fax via the machine and prevents unauthorized use by third parties.
When this machine receives a send job from a user who is not authorized to use this machine, or when this machine receives a send job that does not have any authentication information, this machine discards these jobs automatically.
A send job that does not have any authentication information refers to a job whose user authentication or account track has not been set correctly in the [Configure] tab in the [Properties] screen of the fax driver.
Enabling user authentication or account track on the fax driver
Open the [Configure] tab of the fax driver, and ensure that the user authentication or account track has been set correctly.
Open the [Properties] screen of the fax driver.
For information on how to display the [Properties] window, refer to Here.
In [Device Option] in the [Configure] tab, check that the User Authentication/Account Track setting is correctly configured for your operating environment.
If it is not configured correctly, select [User Authentication] or [Account Track] from the list, then change the relevant setting in [Setting].
Click [OK].
How to send
In the [Basic] tab, click [Authentication/Account Track...].
When user authentication is enabled, select [Recipient User], then enter the user name and password.
If access to this machine by public users (unregistered users) is allowed, you can select [Public User] and send a fax without entering the user name and password.
When using an external authentication server, click [Server Setting...] and select the authentication server.
If you always use the same user name and password, registering them in advance eliminates the need for entering them each time. For details, refer to Here.
If account track is enabled, enter the account name and password.
If you always use the same account name and password, registering them in advance eliminates the need to enter them each time. For details, refer to Here.
Click [OK].
If your computer can communicate with this machine, clicking [Verify] executes authentication based on the authentication information that has been input. You can check the authentication information for errors before starting printing.
To perform MFP authentication when external server authentication is used together, select the [MFP Authentication] check box in the [Other] tab.
Send a fax.
If the authentication information is correct, the fax is sent.
