If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a
little mysterious. You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on
your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones,
(CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals.
You’ll hear them when you dial and press 

Start

, and they continue

for about 40 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending
machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine.
Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are
sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen
for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your MFC
line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud,
chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over
the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVING. If your MFC
is set to the FAX mode, it will answer every call automatically
with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your
MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the
screen continues to display RECEIVING.
