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.

   • If you load the document in the ADF:

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

      If documents remain in the ADF after the Stop  button is pressed while scanning is in progress, Originals in ADF. Remove any originals from the document tray and tap [OK]. is displayed on the touch screen. By selecting OK, the remaining documents are automatically ejected.

   • If you load the document on the platen:

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

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

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

 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.
