3 votes

To send a fax message, first obtain the recipient's dedicated fax phone number. Insert the documents into the document feed of your fax machine. Enter the recipient's number and press the send button. The machine will scan the documents and send them to the remote location. You may hear a series of tones, known as a handshake, which indicates that the fax machines are communicating about transmission speeds. Once the fax is complete, a display will confirm this, and you can configure your machine to print a transmission report confirming the successful transmission.
