Redialling when the line is busy

There are two methods of redialling: manual redialling and automatic redialling. This section explains these two methods.

Manual redialling ______________________________

Press [Redial/Pause] to dial the last number you dialled with the numeric buttons. (This starts redialling regardless of whether automatic redialling is enabled.)

Cancelling manual redialling

To cancel manual redialling, press [Stop].

Automatic redialling ___________________________

What is automatic redialling?

When you are sending a document and the receiving party’s line is busy, the fax waits the specified time and then dials the same number again. You can set the fax to redial several times if previous attempts fail because of a busy signal.

Automatic redialling can be turned off and on. The number of redialling attempts and the time interval between attempts can also be adjusted (see AUTO REDIAL, p. 8-3).

If all redialling attempts are unsuccessful, the fax will cancel the transmission and print an ERROR TX REPORT to remind you that the transmission was not completed (see p. 8-7).

When automatic redialling is in use, the LCD displays AUTO REDIAL while it is waiting to redial.

Cancelling automatic redialling

Automatic redialling cannot be cancelled with the [Stop] button while the fax is waiting to redial.

1Wait until the fax begins redialling.

2Press [Stop].

nIf you want to cancel a memory-sending transmission while the fax is waiting to redial, you will have to delete the document from memory (see p. 5-15).
