Basic Faxing Situations
Real-Time Dialing
Occasionally you may want to dial numbers in real time, one digit at a time. Press the Hook key on your control panel to open a telephone line, you will hear a dial tone. Enter the number. If an external telephone is connected to your machine, you can dial in real time by picking up the handset.
Redialing
If a line is busy, or there is no answer, the machine waits and then automatically redials the number. Also, if the machine is transmitting from memory and a communication error occurs, it automatically redials the number and sends the fax again. You can redial a number at any time by pressing the Redial key.
Confirming Results
After transmission, press the Enter key once (with no documents loaded). A message displays on the control panel, confirming your transmission.
To print the Message Confirmation Report (MCF), press the Enter key a second time.
See “Reports, Message Confirmation Report.”
Stopping a Transmission
To stop a transmission while it is in progress:
1Press the Stop key twice.
The display shows STOPPED.
2If documents are stuck partway through the document feeder, you may see a RELOAD DOCUMENT message on the display. Press the Stop key again. The machine feeds the document the rest of the way through the document feeder.
Receiving Faxes Manually
If your machine is set to the manual receive (TEL) mode, follow the instructions below to receive faxes. You need to have an optional handset installed, or an external handset connected.
1When your telephone or fax machine rings, pick up the handset. If a person is on the line, carry on your conversation.
