Manual transmission lets you hear the dial tone, ringing and fax receiving tones 
before sending the fax. 

Place the original face up in the ADF, or face down on the scanner glass.

Pick up the handset of the external phone and listen for a dial tone.

Enter the fax number you want to call. (You can enter the digits using the dial 
pad, Speed Dial or Search).

When you hear the fax tone, press Fax Start.

Replace the handset of the external phone.

This is the easiest way to send a fax.

Place the original face up in the ADF, or face down on the scanner glass.

Enter the fax number using the dial pad, Speed Dial or Search.
 (See 

, page 7-3.)

Press Fax Start.

If  you’re sending a fax manually and the line is busy, press Redial/Pause to 
try again. Anytime you want to make a second call to the last number dialed, 
press Redial/Pause to save time.

If you’re sending a fax automatically and the line is busy, the MFC will 
automatically redial (up to three times at 5 minute intervals).

You can place an original in the ADF and set temporary settings, dial a number, 
and begin scanning the fax into memory—even when the MFC is receiving a 
fax, sending a fax, or printing a fax from memory. The LCD shows the new job 
number and available memory.

Place the original face up in the ADF.

Enter the fax number.

If you get a 

 message while scanning the first page of a 

fax, press Stop/Exit to cancel scanning.  If you get a 

 

message while scanning in a subsequent page, you’ll have the option to press 
Fax Start to transmit the pages scanned so far, or to press Stop/Exit to cancel 
the operation.
