Send a fax by dialing from a telephone connected to the fax line

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 document feeder.

2.From the Home screen, touch the Fax button.

3.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.

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

5.When you hear the fax tones, touch the Start Fax button on the control panel, wait until Connecting appears on the control panel display, and then hang up the telephone.

Send a fax with confirmation

You can set the product so that it prompts you to enter the fax number a second time to confirm that you are sending the fax to the correct number.

1.From the Home screen, touch the Setup button.

2.Touch the Fax Setup menu.

3.Touch the Advanced Setup menu.

4.Scroll to and touch the Confirm Fax Number button, and touch the On button.

5.Send the fax.

Schedule a fax to be sent later

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.
