Send a fax from memory

You can scan a black-and-white fax into memory and then send the fax from memory. This feature is useful if the fax number you are trying to reach is busy or temporarily unavailable. The printer scans the originals into memory and sends them once it is able to connect to the receiving fax machine. After the printer scans the pages into memory, you can immediately remove the originals from the document feeder tray or scanner glass.

NOTE: You can only send a black-and-white fax from memory.

To send a fax from memory

1.Load your originals. For additional information, see Load an original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF).

2.Touch Fax, and then touch Settings.

3.Touch Scan and Fax.

4.Enter the fax number by using the keypad, touch (Speed Dial) to select

a speed dial, or touch (Call History) to select a previously dialed or received number.

5.Touch Start Fax.

The printer scans the originals into memory and sends the fax when the receiving fax machine is available.

Schedule a fax to send later

You can schedule a black-and-white fax to be sent within the next 24 hours. This enables you to send a black-and-white fax late in the evening, when phone lines are not as busy or phone rates are lower, for example. The printer automatically sends your fax at the specified time.

You can only schedule one fax to be sent at a time. You can continue to send faxes normally, however, while a fax is scheduled.

NOTE: You can only send scheduled faxes in black-and-white.
