Sending a Fax

There are 3 basic ways to send a fax:
1 ) Manual transmission:
You can speak with the other party before sending a fax, by picking up
the external handset and dialing the number on the external telephone.
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 of the external telephone.)
2 ) Automatic transmission:
You can send a fax without picking up the handset of the external
telephone 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 page 3-6~7.) 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 5. (The numbers must be stored beforehand.
See page 3-7~8.) Then press Start.
c . Telephone Index
You can use Tel-Index to make telephone or fax calls. (See page 4-2.)
3 ) Delayed transmission:
It is possible to send documents at a later time by using the TIMER
function. (See page 5-9~10.)

Talking to the Other Party When Sending a Fax

When you are sending a fax manually and you hear the recipient's voice
instead of fax tones, you can use the handset of the external telephone to
have a conversation. If you want to then send a fax, ask the person on the
other line to press Start and when you hear fax tones you can press Start
to begin sending your fax.
