4 Faxing

Note: Faxing is not supported on all models.

The fax function lets you scan items and fax them to one or more recipients directly from the MFP. When you touch Fax, it opens the fax destination screen. You enter the fax number and touch Fax It to send your fax. You can also change the fax settings to fit your personal needs.

During initial MFP setup, you may be required to configure the MFP for faxing. For additional information, see Fax setup.
