Basic Operation for Sending a Fax

This section describes the basic operation for sending a fax.

1Press the [Facsimile] key.

2Place the original on the exposure glass or in the ADF.

If paper is jammed in the ADF, the jammed page has not been scanned properly. For details about how to remove the paper jammed in the ADF, see Removing Paper Jammed in the Auto Document Feeder.

3Press [Telephone/e-mail] to switch the icon.

To send a normal fax, switch to the telephone () icon.

To send an Internet fax, switch to the e-mail () icon.

4Enter the fax number (up to 50 characters) using the number keys, or specify a desired destination using the [Quick Dial] keys or [Address Book] key.

  • A fax number can contain 0 to 9, pause, "Asterisk", and "Sharp". For details about entering characters, see Entering Characters.

  • For details about specifying the fax destination, see Specifying the Fax Destination.

  • If the machine is connected to the telephone network through a PBX, make sure to enter the outside line access number specified in [Outside Access No.] before the fax number. For details about [Outside Access No.], see Setting the Outside Line Access Number.

5Press the [B&W Start] key.

  • The machine prompts you to enter the fax number twice only when you dial the destination manually. If the fax numbers do not match, go back to step 3.

  • When using the exposure glass, place the next original on the exposure glass, and then press the [B&W Start] key. Repeat this step until all originals are scanned.

    When all originals have been scanned, press [#] to start sending the fax.

Note

  • When in Memory Transmission mode, you can enable the [Total Number of Calls] setting to set the machine to automatically redial the destination if the line is busy or an error occurs during transmission. For details about [Total Number of Calls] and [Fax Resend Interval], see Administrator Tools.

  • When in Memory Transmission mode, the machine's memory may become full while scanning the originals. In this case, the screen prompts you to cancel the transmission or to send only the pages that have been scanned successfully.

  • If you specify an Internet Fax destination in Immediate Transmission mode, the mode switches to Memory Transmission mode temporarily.
