TIP: You can also send a fax manually from a phone or by using monitor dialing.
These features allow you to control the pace of your dialing. They are also useful
when you want to use a calling card to charge the call and you have to respond to
tone prompts while dialing.

To send a basic fax from the device control panel
1.
Load your originals. If you are faxing a borderless original, load the original on the

scanner glass, not the ADF. For additional information, see

press OK.

3. Enter the fax number by using the keypad.

TIP: To add a pause in the fax number you are entering, press the * button
repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.

If the device detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, it
sends the document to the number you entered.

TIP: If the recipient reports issues with the quality of the fax you sent, you can
try changing the resolution or contrast of your fax.
