Send a fax using monitor dialing
Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the printer control panel as you would
dial a regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the
dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the printer. This
enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your
dialing.
TIP: If you are using a calling card and do not enter your PIN fast enough, the printer
might start sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by

the PIN for your calling card. For more information, see
