Send a basic fax
You can easily send a single- or multiple-page black-and-white fax by using the control
panel.
NOTE:
If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent,
enable fax confirmation before sending any faxes.
TIP:
You can also send a fax manually from a phone or by using monitor dialing.
These features allow you to control the pace of your dialing. They are also useful
when you want to use a calling card to charge the call and you have to respond to
tone prompts while dialing.
