Sending a fax by dialing from a telephone

Occasionally, you might want to dial a fax number from a telephone that is connected to the same line as the device. For example, if you are sending a fax to a person whose device is in the manual receive mode, you can precede the fax with a voice call to let that person know that the fax is coming.
