Sending Faxes by Entering a Fax / Telephone Number

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.
Don't 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.
