Resending Faxes (Redialing a Busy Number)

There are two methods of redialing: Automatic redialing and Manual redialing.

• Automatic Redialing

  If you send a document and the recipient's line is busy, the machine will redial the number after a specified interval.

  Automatic Redialing

• Manual Redialing

  You can redial to the recipients dialed using the Numeric buttons.

• It may be possible that faxes will reach unintended recipients due to the misdialing or incorrect registration of fax/telephone numbers. When you send important documents, it is recommended that you send them after speaking on the telephone.
