Sending a fax manually

Because the Manual mode is often used when the phone line is shared between a telephone and the fax machine, there may be times when the fax recipient mistakenly answers the telephone rather than connecting the fax machine. If this happens, inform the recipient you are attempting to send a fax, ask them to hang up the telephone, and then resend the fax. When you connect with the receiving fax machine you should hear a high-pitched fax signal.
