Sending a Fax

There are 3 basic ways to send a fax:
1 ) Manual transmission:
You can talk or listen to the other party before you send a fax by picking
up the handset and dialing the number. 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 machine,
you can go ahead and press your Start key, and then replace the
handset.)
2 ) Automatic transmission:
You can send a fax without picking up the handset 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 number keys 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 the 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 5-10~11.)

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 to have a conversation. When
or if you want to then send a fax, ask the person on the other line to press
Start on his/her fax machine and when you hear fax tones you can press
Start to begin sending your fax.
