Send a fax manually from a phone
Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the recipient before
you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient that you are going to
send them a fax before sending it. When you send a fax manually, you can hear the dial
tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your telephone. This
makes it easy for you to use a calling card to send your fax.
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might answer
the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the phone, you
can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine answers the call,
you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the fax tones from the
receiving fax machine.

1. Load your originals. If you are copying a borderless original, load the original on the

Load an original on the
scanner glass.
2. Press the left arrow
or right arrow to select Fax B&W or Fax Color , and then
press OK.

NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the control panel of the device when manually
sending a fax. You must use the keypad on your phone to dial the recipient's
number.
