You can easily send a single- or multiple-page black-and-white or color fax by using the printer control panel.
Note
If you need printed confirmation that your faxes were successfully sent, fax confirmation must be enabled.
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.
To send a standard fax from the printer control panel
Load your original print-side down on the right front corner of the glass or print-side up in the ADF.
For more information about loading the original, see Load original.
From the Home screen on the printer display, press the Up and Down buttons to select Fax, and then press OK.
Select Black Fax or Color Fax.
If an original is loaded in the ADF, the document is sent to the number you entered. If no original is detected in the ADF, a message appears that promts you to make a selection.
Tip
If the recipient reports issues with the quality of the fax you sent, you can try changing the resolution or contrast of your fax.
Enter the fax number by using the keypad, and then press OK.
Tip
To add a pause in the fax number you are entering, press * repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.
