Using Voice Request
The voice request feature allows you to have a conversation with a
person at a remote fax machine during a fax communication. Either the
person sending or receiving the fax can initiate a voice request. If you are
sending a fax, you can answer a voice request only after all pages have
been transmitted.
If you are receiving a fax, you can answer a voice request after reception
of each page.
You will know if the person on the other fax machine has issued a voice
request when you hear a warbling tone. If you do not respond in approxi-
mately six seconds, the voice request is automatically cancelled.
Tip:
You need to have either an attached handset or an external tele-
phone to use the voice request function.
To Initiate a Voice Request

Tip: If you press your HOOK/V. REQUEST key to initiate a voice
request at TX mode but no one is there to answer, your MFP ma-
chine automatically sends a call back message to the remote site.
This message includes a telephone number where you can be
reached.
