Send a fax
You can easily send a single- or multiple-page black-and-white or color fax by using
the printer control panel.
NOTE: If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent,
enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes. For more information, see Print
fax confirmation reports.
TIP: You can also send a fax manually from a phone or by using monitor dialing.
These features allow you to control the pace of your dialing. They are also useful
when you want to use a calling card to charge the call and you have to respond to
tone prompts while dialing.

3. Enter the fax number by using the keypad.
TIP: To add a pause in the fax number you are entering, press * repeatedly,
