Monitor dialing allows you to dial a number from the printer control panel as you would dial a regular telephone. When you send a fax using monitor dialing, you can hear the dial tones, telephone prompts, or other sounds through the speakers on the printer. This enables you to respond to prompts while dialing, as well as control the pace of your dialing.
Tip
If you are using a calling card and do not enter your PIN fast enough, the printer might start sending fax tones too soon and cause your PIN not to be recognized by the calling card service. If this is the case, you can create a speed dial entry to store the PIN for your calling card. For more information, see Set up speed-dial entries.
Note
Make sure the volume is turned on to hear a dial tone.
To send a fax using monitor dialing 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 the printer detects an original loaded in the ADF, you can hear a dial tone.
If the original is loaded on the scanner glass, select Fax from Glass.
When you hear the dial tone, enter the number by using the keypad on the printer control panel.
Follow any prompts that might occur.
Your fax is sent when the receiving fax machine answers.
