This article describes dialing and sending faxes directly by entering the fax / telephone numbers.

 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, we recommend that you send them after speaking on the telephone.

1. Make sure that printer is powered on.

2. Load documents on the platen (scanner) glass or in the ADF (Auto Document Feeder).

    When sending a double-sided document, load the document on the platen glass. Double-sided documents cannot be automatically scanned and sent from the ADF.

3. Flick the HOME screen, and then tap FAX.

   The Fax standby screen is displayed.

   

    If you have not set up the printer for sending/receiving faxes yet, the message for setup is displayed on the touch screen when you tap FAX on the HOME screen for the first time. When you set up for faxing, follow the procedure according to the instructions on the touch screen.

    Color transmission is available only when the recipient's fax device supports color faxing.

   • If you load the document in the ADF:

     The printer scans the document automatically and starts sending the fax.

      To cancel a fax transmission, press the Stop button. To cancel a fax transmission while it is in progress, press the Stop button, and then follow the instructions on the touch screen.

      If documents remain in the ADF after the Stop button is pressed while scanning is in progress, Document in ADF. Tap [OK] to eject document. is displayed on the touch screen. By tapping OK, the remaining documents are automatically ejected.

   • If you load the document on the platen glass:

     After scanning the document, the confirmation screen asking you if you load the next document is displayed.

     To send the scanned document, tap Send now to start sending it.

     To send two or more pages, follow the message to load the next page, and tap Scan. After scanning all pages, tap Send now to start sending.

      To cancel sending the fax, press the Stop button.

 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 / telephone number.

 In case the printer was not able to send a fax, such as when the recipient's line was busy, it has the function to automatically redial the number after a specified interval. Automatic redialing is enabled by default.

 Unsent documents, such as those pending redial, are stored in the printer's memory. They are not stored in the case of a sending error.

 Do not unplug the power cord until all documents are sent. If you unplug the power cord, all unsent documents stored in the printer's memory are lost.
