To send a basic fax from the control panel
1. Load your originals. For additional information, see
Load media.
NOTE: If you are sending a multiple-page fax, you must load the originals in
the document feeder tray. You cannot fax a multiple-page document from the
glass.
2. Enter the fax number by using the keypad, press Speed Dial or a one-touch speed
dial button to select a speed dial, or press Redial/Pause to redial the last number
dialed.
TIP: To add a pause in the fax number you are entering, press Redial/Pause,
or press the Symbols (*) button repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the
display.
3. Press START FAX Black or START FAX Color.
• If the device detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder,
it sends the document to the number you entered.
• If the device does not detect an original loaded in the automatic
document feeder, the Fax from glass? prompt appears. Make sure your
original is loaded print-side down on the glass, and then select Yes.
TIP: If the recipient reports issues with the quality of the fax you sent, you can
try changing the resolution or contrast of your fax.
Send a fax manually from a phone
You can send a fax from a telephone on the same phone line if you prefer to use the
keypad on your phone, instead of the keypad on the control panel of the device. You
can do this by plugging in a phone into the 2–EXT port on the back of the device.
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.
