About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time fax machine 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
MFC 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.
