Voice Contact
Initiating voice contact
While transmitting or receiving a document, you may wish to speak to the other party. If the other
party’s unit is equipped with a voice contact feature, you can initiate voice contact and notify the
other party that you wish to speak after the transmission/reception is completed. The other party’s
fax will emit a distinctive ring that indicates that a voice conversation is required. This saves the
extra expense and time of making a subsequent telephone call to discuss information sent over
the fax.
