Send a fax manually from a phone
Sending a fax manually allows you to make a phone call and talk with the recipient
before you send the fax. This is useful if you want to inform the recipient that you are
going to send them a fax before sending it. When you send a fax manually, you can
hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the handset on your
telephone. This makes it easy  for you to use a calling card to send your fax.
Depending on how the recipient has their fax machine set up, the recipient might
answer the phone, or the fax machine might take the call. If a person answers the
phone, you can speak with the recipient before sending the fax. If a fax machine
answers the call, you can send the fax directly to the fax machine when you hear the
fax tones from the receiving fax machine.
To send a fax manually from an extension phone
1. Load your original print-side down on the right-front corner of the glass or print-side
up in the ADF. For more information, see 
Load an original on the scanner glass or
Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF).
2. Touch  Fax.
3. Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to the printer.
NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the control panel of the printer when
manually sending a fax. You must use the keypad on your phone to dial the
recipient's number.

							4.If the recipient answers the telephone, you can engage in a conversation before
sending your fax.
NOTE: If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax tones from the
receiving fax machine. Proceed to the next step to transmit the fax.
5. When you are ready to send the fax, touch  Start Black or Start Color .
NOTE:If prompted, select  Send Fax.
If you were speaking with the recipient before sending the fax, inform the recipient
that they should press  Start on their fax machine a fter they hear fax tones.
The telephone line is silent while the fax  is transmitting. At this point, you can hang
up the telephone. If you want to continue speaking with the recipient, remain on the
line until the fax transmission is complete.
Send a fax using  monitor dialing
Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number  from the printer control panel as you would
dial a regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the
dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the printer.
This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of
your dialing.
TIP: If you are using a calling card and do not enter your PIN fast enough, the
printer might start sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be
recognized by the call ing card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed
dial entry to store the PIN for your calling card. For more information, see 
Set up
speed-dial entries.
NOTE: Make sure the volume is turned on to hear a dial tone.
To send a fax using monitor  dialing from the printer control panel

Load an original on the scanner
glass or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF).

TIP: If you are using a calling card to send a fax and you have your calling
card PIN stored as a speed dial, when prompted to enter your PIN, touch
 (Speed Dial) to select the speed  dial entry where you have your PIN
stored.
Your fax is sent when the receiving fax machine answers.

then dials the first numbe r. When a connection is ma de, it sends the fax and
dials the next number. If a number is busy  or not answering, the printer follows
the settings for  Busy Redial and No Answer Redial . If a connection cannot be
made, the next number is dialed and an error report is generated.
Send a fax in Error Correction Mode
Error Correction Mode  (ECM) prevents loss of data  due to poor phone lines by
detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting
retransmission of the erroneo us portion. Phone charges are  unaffected, or might even
be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time
and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. The default setting is  On.
Turn ECM off only if it increases phone charges substantially, and if you can accept
poorer quality in exchang e for reduced charges.
Before turning the ECM setting off, consi der the following. If you turn ECM off:
• The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.
•The  Fax Speed  is automatically set to  Medium.
• You can no longer send or receive faxes in color.
To change the ECM setting from the control panel
1. From the Home screen, touch 
 (right arrow), and then select  Setup.
2. Touch  Fax Setup  and then select Advanced Fax Setup .
