Good to know

• When your printer is connected to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system, refer to the operating instructions of the system for details on dialing the recipient's fax or phone number.

• If the printer can't send a fax, (for instance, the recipient's line is busy), it can automatically redial the number after a specified time. Automatic redialing is enabled by default.

• Unsent documents, such as those pending redial, are stored in the printer's memory. They aren't stored if there is a sending error
