WHAT DOES A FAX MACHINE DO?

A fax machine scans your document and converts it into a series of black and white dots (the number of dots there are across and down the page depends on the resolution that you selected; refer to the specifications section of this manual for details). This series of dots is transformed into an electrical signal and sent out over the telephone line to the destination fax machine.

The receiving fax machine reconstructs your letter from the incoming signal and prints it.

If you are worried about whether the message arrived at the destination, you can check a report called the TCR(Transaction Confirmation Report). When you print this report, you can see the result of the most recent fax communications made by your machine.

You can use your fax machine to send and receive many types of documents, even photographs.
