B) BASIC FAX TRANSMISSIONS
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Sending a Fax
There are three basic ways to send a fax:
1) Manual transmission:
You can talk or listen to the other party before you send a fax by picking
up the handset and dialing the number. After the other party has
finished talking and has pressed the
Start
button, you will be able to
send your fax by pressing your
Start
key and placing the handset in its
cradle. (If you call and all you hear is the chirping sound of a fax
machine, you can go ahead and press your
Start
key, and then replace
the handset.)
2) Automatic transmission:
You can send a fax without picking up the handset or without pressing
Hook
by dialing the fax number and then pressing
Start.
a. One Touch Dialing
Press one of the One Touch keys. (The numbers must be stored
beforehand. See pages 24-25.) Then press
Start.
b. Speed Dialing
Press
Speed Dial,
then use the dial pad to enter a two-digit number.
For example, press
05
for five. (The numbers must be stored beforehand.
See pages 25-26.) Then press
Start.
c. Telephone Index
You can use Tel-Index to make telephone or fax calls. (See page 32.)
3) Delayed transmission:
It is possible to send documents at a later time by using the TIMER
function. (See pages 42-43.)
Talking to the Other Party W hen Sending a Fax
When you are sending a fax manually and you hear the recipient’s voice
instead of fox tones, you can use the handset to have a conversation. If you
want to then send a fax, ask the other party to press
Start
and when you
hear fax tones you can press
Start
to begin sending your fax.
