Use fax

In this section, you will learn how to send and receive
faxes.
Send faxes
You can send faxes in a variety of ways. Using the
printer's control panel, you can send black-and-white
or color faxes. You can also send faxes manually from
an attached phone, which allows you to speak with
the recipient before sending the fax.
You can also send documents on your computer as
faxes, without printing them first.
Send a standard fax
1. Load the document you want to fax in the printer.
You can fax either from the automatic document
feeder (ADF) or from the scanner glass.
2. Touch Fax.
3. Enter the fax number by using the keypad.
Tip: To add a pause in the fax number you
are entering, touch * repeatedly, until a dash
(-) appears on the display.
Send a fax from an extension phone
1. Load the document you want to fax in the printer.
You can fax either from the automatic document
feeder (ADF) or from the scanner glass.
2. Touch Fax.
3. Dial the number by using the keypad on the
phone that is connected to the printer.
Note: Do not use the keypad on the control panel
of the printer when manually sending a fax. You
must use the keypad on your phone to dial the
recipient's number.
4. If the recipient answers the telephone, you can
engage in a conversation before sending the fax.
Note: If a fax machine answers the call, you will
hear fax tones from the receiving fax machine.
Proceed to the next Step to transmit the fax.

quality of the fax you sent, you can try
changing the resolution or contrast or your
fax.

Note: If prompted, select Send Fax.
If you were speaking with the recipient before
sending the fax, inform the recipient that they should
press Start on their fax machine after they hear
fax tones. The telephone line is silent while the fax
is transmitting. At this point, you can hang up the
telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the
recipient, remain on the line until the fax transmission
is complete.
