Send a fax using monitor dialing

Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the printer control panel as you would dial a regular

telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the dial tones, telephone

prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the printer. This enables you to respond to

prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your dialing.

TIP: If you are using a calling card and do not enter your PIN fast enough, the printer might start

sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by the calling card service. If

this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store the PIN for your calling card. For more

information, see Set up speed-dial entries on page 74.

NOTE: Make sure the volume is turned on to hear a dial tone.

To send a fax using monitor dialing from the printer control panel

NOTE: If you are using the scanner glass, ensure that the automatic document feeder is

empty. Otherwise, the printer will sense the document in the ADF instead of the paper on the

scanner glass.

2.

From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.

3.

Touch Black or Color.

If the printer detects an original loaded in the automatic document feeder, you hear a dial

tone.

If the original is loaded on the scanner glass, select Fax from scanner glass.

4.

When you hear the dial tone, enter the number by using the keypad on the printer control panel.

5.

Follow any prompts that might occur.

TIP: If you are using a calling card to send a fax and you have your calling card PIN stored as

a speed dial, when prompted to enter your PIN, touch (Speed dial) to select the speed dial

entry where you have your PIN stored. For more information about creating speed-dial entries,

see Set up speed-dial entries on page 74.

Your fax is sent when the receiving fax machine answers.
