Lexmark S815 User Manual

Dialing and Sending

Set your fax name and fax number.

Adjust the dialing volume.

Set the dial method, redial time, number of redial attempts,
dialing prefix, and dialing volume.

Set whether the printer scans the original document before or
after dialing the recipient.

Set the printer to scan before dialing so that you do not have
to scan the document again if the fax fails. The scanned
document is saved in the printer memory. The printer can then
retrieve it and automatically redial the number.

If you set the printer to scan after dialing, then the printer does
not automatically redial, even when the phone line is busy.

Set the fax sending speed.

Convert sent faxes into modes that receiving fax machines
recognize. Otherwise, such faxes are aborted.

Enable error correction during transmission.

Fax Blocking

Block unwanted incoming faxes.
