About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time MFC user, fax operation might seem a little
mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize 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 MFC 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 dialing.
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 RECEIVING. If your MFC is set to the FAX mode, it will
answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other
party hangs up, your MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about 40
seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING. To cancel the
receiving mode, press
Stop
.
