Calling the Recipient before Sending Fax Documents (Manual Sending)

Return to Overview

Use manual sending when you want to talk to the recipient before sending a document, or if the recipient does not have a fax machine that can receive automatically.


Remark
  • You cannot use the platen glass for manual sending.
  • You cannot use group addresses for manual sending.
  • You cannot use Two-Sided scanning mode for manual sending.
  1. Connect an external telephone to the machine if you want to talk to the recipient before sending a document.

For information on how to connect an external telephone to the machine, see "Connect Telephone Cables."

  1. Load your originals in the ADF.
  1. Press [SEND].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <FAX>, then press [OK].
  1. Adjust any necessary settings for your document.
  1. Press [Hook] or pick up the handset of your external telephone.
  1. Dial the recipient's fax/telephone number.
  • Make sure to confirm the dial tone before entering a fax number. If you enter the number before the dial tone can be heard, the call may not connect, or the wrong number may be dialed.
  • If <CONFIRM FAX NO.> in <ACCESS TO DEST.> in <SYSTEM SETTINGS> is set to <ON> and you specify a fax number using the numeric keys, you must enter the fax number again for confirmation. Enter the same fax number you entered in step 7, then press [OK].
  1. Talk through the handset to the recipient.
  • If you select <Hook> in step 6, you can pick up the handset when you hear the recipient's voice. If you hear a high-pitched signal instead of the recipient's voice, go to step 10.
  1. Ask the recipient to set their fax machine to receive faxes.
  1. When you hear a high-pitched signal, press [Start], then hang up the handset.
