If you're a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little
mysterious. You'll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone
line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

Fax Tones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG
tones) — soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You'll hear them when
you dial and press
, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing.
Start
During that time, the sending machine must begin the "handshake" with the
receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you
are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You'll soon learn to listen for these
soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you know if you
are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones — loud, chirping
sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and
the screen displays RECEIVE. If your fax machine is set to the FAX ONLY
Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones.
Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to send the
"chirps" for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display
RECEIVE. To cancel the receiving mode, press
.
Stop
