Send a fax using monitor dialing

Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the printer control panel as you would dial a regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the printer.

This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your dialing.

TIP: If you are using a calling card and do not enter your PIN fast enough, the

printer might start sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by the calling card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store the PIN for your calling card. For more information, see Set up speed-dial entries.

NOTE: Make sure the volume is turned on to hear a dial tone.

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 Start Black or Start Color.

If the printer detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, you hear a dial tone.

3.When you hear the dial tone, enter the number by using the keypad on the printer control panel.

TIP: If you are using a calling card to send a fax and you have your calling card PIN stored as a speed dial, when prompted to enter your PIN, touch (Speed Dial) to select the speed dial entry where you have your PIN stored.
