This function allows you to monitor the dialling operation 
during a fax transmission. In this case, the maximum 
transmission rate will be 14400 bps.

This function allows for example:

• to hear if the subscriber’s fax is engaged and if so, 

choose the moment when the line is clear to start the 
document transmission.

• to control the communication progress in case of 

uncertain numbers, etc.

To take the line manually:

1 Place the document in the fax feeder.

2 Press .

3 If necessary, set the sound level using the   or   

keys.

4 Enter the subscriber number.

 

As soon as you hear the remote fax tone, the line is 
clear and you can start the transmission.

5 Press 

 to start the document transmission.

If your machine is set in order to print a transmission 
report, the reduced copy of the document first page will 
not be printed and it notifies you that the communication 
is manual (see Transmission report, page 33).

Fax reception depends on the parameter settings of your 
machine.

The following parameters let you customize the printing of 
received faxes:

- Reception Mode, page 34;
- Reception without paper, page 34;
- Number of copies, page 34;
- Fax or PC reception, page 34;
- Received faxes reduction mode, page 35;
- Technical Parameters, page 35.

received fax depending on the default tray and the paper

Default tray set to Automatic:

Your fax machine (initiator) can relay a document, in other 
words, transmit a document to your subscribers via a 
remote fax and with a precise relay list.

To do this the initiator fax and the remote fax must both 
have the relay function.

To relay you need to supply the remote fax with the 
document and the relay list number. The remote fax will 
then transmit this document to all subscribers on the list.

Once the relay is activated by your fax and as soon as the 
document is received by the remote fax, the document is 
printed before relaying to all subscribers on the list.
