Q: Do I have to dial a 1 for a long-distance call?
A: Yes. Dialing a fax number is just like dialing any other phone number, so be
sure to include any special long-distance codes or dialing pauses when dialing.
Also, remember to include them when you set your autodialer numbers.
Q: How do I send a fax to an overseas telephone number?
A: Dialing requirements for international calls may vary depending on your local
telephone company's requirements. For most international calls, call 00, then
the appropriate country code, city code and phone number. (You may find coun-
try and city codes in the front section of your telephone directory.)
Q: Can I transmit if my fax machine runs out of paper?
A: Yes. But a transmit confirmation report (see page 2.46) is not available when
you transmit without recording paper in your fax machine.
Q: Can I transmit a document that's extra long?
A: Yes, if the receiving fax machine is equipped to handle long documents. Many
machines have a special setting which allows them to receive documents that
exceed the normal length.
Q: Can I transmit a page from a newspaper?
A: No. A newspaper page can jam in your document feeder. First, use a copy
machine to make a copy of the newspaper. Make sure the copy you make will
fit into the fax machine. Then transmit the copy.
Q: Can I transmit a page with correction fluid on it?
A: Yes, if the fluid is completely dry before you begin transmission.
Q: How can I be sure my fax was received?
A: Set your machine to print a confirmation report after each transmission (see
page 2.46).
Q: I don't want to install a dedicated phone line for my fax machine, so I have con-
nected the machine to a
PBX
ring! How do I prevent this?
A: Call your
manufacturer or telephone company for assistance. Either may

A: The remote fax machine was busy, so your machine will try the call again,
automatically. As long as it hasn't stored more than 30 delayed commands, your
machine should still accept commands from you. If it has exceeded this quantity
and will accept no more commands, try canceling one of the delayed commands
(see page 2.15). If the machine still won't cooperate, keep canceling commands
until it does.
Q: The specifications (page

• The transmission time measured for test documents doesn't include hand-
shake time — the time during which two fax machines "introduce"
themselves to each other and "agree on" the parameters of the call.
• The specification time is based on the use of normal resolution mode. You
may be using fine, superfine or grayscale transmission, each of which takes
longer than normal mode.

can I be sure my document went to the right location?
A: The numbers you enter using the fax keypad are temporarily stored in a mem-
ory "buffer." It's only the last part of the phone number that the buffer
"remembers." An easy way to avoid getting incomplete telephone numbers on
your printouts is to store your most frequently used numbers as one-touch keys
or speed-dial numbers. These autodialer numbers will appear in their entirety
