sending as follows when required to do so:
For color sending: Press [Color] to turn on its light.

The setting automatically reverts to black & white after a document is sent or canceled.

get an error message.Try sending again in black & white. Alternatively, you can enable the <COLOR
DIRECT TX> setting ( p. 13-4) that will send a color document in black & white if the recipient’s fax
machine does not support color faxing.

when required to do so:
