Press Start 919725552009_
5 Press START.
By pressing START, you’ve just given your machine a command. In turn, your machine gives this action a command number as it scans the fax document.
This command number appears on the first line of the LCD for a few seconds:

When it makes contact, your machine transmits the stored document from memory while at the same time scanning the remaining pages of your document into memory.

The same is true if you set the contrast to Dark.
Important: If you want to cancel a transmission while scanning the docu- ment, press the STOP key.
If you want to cancel a transmission in progress, use the Review Commands function. See “Review Commands, an introduction” page 1.16.
