About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation may seem a little
mysterious. You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone
line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.
Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones,
(CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear
them when you dial and press Start, and they continue for about 40
seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin
the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time you use
automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the
phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you
answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a
fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping
sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line,
and the screen displays RECEIVE. If your fax machine is set to the Fax
Only Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving
tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to
send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to
display RECEIVE. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop.
