Redialing when the line is busy

There are two methods of redialing: manual redialing and automatic redialing. This section explains these two methods.

Manual redialing _______________________________

Press [Redial/Pause] to dial the last number you dialed with the numeric buttons. (This starts redialing regardless of whether automatic redialing is enabled.)

Canceling manual redialing

To cancel manual redialing, press [Stop]. You may then need to press [Start/Copy] for a few seconds, then the fax will feed out the document. See Jams in the document tray, p. 9-1.

Automatic redialing ____________________________

What is automatic redialing?

When you are sending a document and the receiving party’s line is busy, the fax waits the specified time and then dials the same number again. You can set the fax to redial several times if previous attempts fail because of a busy signal.

Automatic redialing can be turned off and on. The number of redialing attempts and the time interval between attempts can also be adjusted (see AUTO REDIAL, p. 8-3).

If all redialing attempts are unsuccessful, the fax will cancel the transmission. You can set the fax to print an ERROR TX REPORT to remind you that the transmission was not completed (see p. 8-3).

When automatic redialing is in use, the LCD displays AUTO REDIAL while it is waiting to redial.

If you want to cancel a memory-sending transmission while the fax is waiting to redial, you will have to delete the document from memory (see p. 5-15).
