Send a fax by dialing from a downstream phone

Occasionally, you might want to dial a fax number from a telephone that is connected to the same line as the product. 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.

NOTE: The telephone must be connected to the product "telephone" port ( ).

1.Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray.

2.Pick up the handset of a telephone that is connected to the same line as the product. Dial the fax number by using the telephone keypad.

3.When the recipient answers, instruct the person to start the fax machine.

4.When you hear the fax tones, press Start Fax, wait until Connecting appears on the control-panel display, and then hang up the telephone.

Send a delayed fax

Use the product control panel to schedule a fax to be sent automatically at a future time to one or more people. When this procedure is completed, the product scans the document into memory and then returns to the Ready state.

NOTE: If the product cannot transmit the fax at the scheduled time, that information is indicated on the fax error report (if that option is turned on) or recorded in the fax activity log. The transmittal might not be initiated because the fax-sending call is not answered, or because a busy signal stops the redial attempts.

If a fax has been scheduled to be sent at a future time but it requires updating, send the additional information as another job. All faxes that are scheduled to go to the same fax number at the same time are delivered as individual faxes.

1.Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray.

2.On the control panel, press Setup.

3.Use the arrow buttons until Fax functions appears, and then press OK.

4.Use the arrow buttons until Send fax later appears, and then press OK.

5.Use the alphanumeric buttons to enter the time.

6.If the product is set to the 12-hour time mode, use the arrow buttons to move the cursor past the fourth character to set A.M. or P.M. Select 1 for A.M. or select 2 for P.M., and then press OK.
