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.
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.
To send a fax manually from an extension phone
1. Load your original print-side down in the right-front corner of the glass or in the
ADF.
For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass or Load an original
in the automatic document feeder (ADF).
2. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, press the button to the right of
Fax.
3. Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to the printer.
NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the control panel of the printer when
manually sending a fax. You must use the keypad on your phone to dial the
recipient's number.
4. If the recipient answers the telephone, you can engage in a conversation before
sending your fax.
NOTE: If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax tones from the
receiving fax machine. Proceed to the next step to send the fax.
5. When you are ready to send the fax, press the button to the right of OK, and then
press the button to the right of Black or Color.
If you were speaking with the recipient before sending the fax, inform the recipient
that they should press Start on their fax machine after they hear fax tones.
The telephone line is silent while the fax is transmitting. At this point, you can hang
up the telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the recipient, remain on the
line until the fax transmission is complete.
