Sending a Fax after Speaking on Telephone

If you want to speak to the recipient before sending a fax, or if the recipient does not have a fax device that can receive faxes automatically, send a fax manually after speaking to the recipient on the telephone to check whether the recipient can receive faxes.

 Important

• It may be possible that faxes will reach unintended recipients due to misdialing or incorrect registration of fax / telephone numbers. When you send important documents, we recommend that you send them after speaking on the telephone. See below for the procedure to send a fax manually.
   

• With manual transmission, you cannot use the platen to load documents. Load the documents in the ADF (Auto Document Feeder).

  When loading document on the platen, send a fax with automatic transmission.
