Sending Fax Using the Control Panel

You can send faxes by entering fax numbers for recipients by using the control panel. The printer automatically dials the recipients and sends the fax.

  1. Place the originals.

    Note:

    You can send up to 100 pages in one transmission; however depending on the remaining amount of memory, you may not be able to send faxes even with less than 100 pages.

  2. Select Fax on the home screen.

  3. Specify the recipient.

    You can send the same monochrome fax to up to 100 recipients including up to 99 groups in Contacts. However, a color fax can only be sent to one recipient at a time.

    • To enter manually: Select Keypad, enter a fax number on the screen displayed, and then tap OK.
      - To add a pause (pause for three seconds during dialing), enter a hyphen(-).
      - If you have set an external access code in Line Type, enter "#" (hash) instead of the actual external access code at the beginning of the fax number.
    • To select from the contacts list: Select Contacts and add a check mark to a contact. If the recipients you want to send has not registered in Contacts yet, you can register the recipient first by selecting Add Entry.
    • To select from the sent fax history: Select Recent, and then select a recipient.
    Note:
    • When Direct Dialing Restrictions in Security Settings is set to On, you can only select fax recipients from the contacts list or the sent fax history. You cannot manually enter a fax number.

    To delete recipients you entered, display the list of recipients by tapping on the field of a fax number or the number of recipients on the LCD screen, select the recipient from the list, and then select Remove.

  4. Select the Fax Settings tab, and then make settings such as the resolution and the sending method as necessary.

  5. Select the Recipient tab, and then send the fax.

    • To scan, check the scanned document image, and then send (when sending a fax in monochrome only): Select Preview on the Recipient tab.
      To send the fax as is, select Start Sending. Otherwise, cancel the preview by selecting Cancel, and then go to step 3.

    Note:
    • You cannot send the fax in color after previewing.

    • When Direct Send is enabled, you cannot preview.

    • When the preview screen is left untouched for 20 seconds, the fax is sent automatically.

    • The image quality of a sent fax may be different from what you previewed depending on the capability of the recipient machine.

  6. When sending is complete, remove the originals.

Note:
  • If the fax number is busy or a problem occurs, the printer automatically redials twice after one minute.

  • To cancel sending, tap .

  • It takes longer to send a fax in color because the printer performs scanning and sending simultaneously. While the printer is sending a fax in color, you cannot use the other features.
