Add a pause to the number and send the fax again
When making an overseas call, you may need to add a pause to the fax number.
Since signals are transmitted over long distances across a complicated channel, your call may not be connected without adding a pause after the country code or in front of the fax number. By adding a pause, enough time elapses before the machine starts dialing the number again.
1. Place your fax.
2. Press [
].
3. Specify the scanning settings as needed.
4. Enter the international access code using the numeric keys.
For more information on international access codes, contact your telephone company.
