Confirming a Dial Tone or Voice of a Person at the Destination Before Sending or Receiving a Fax
To ensure reception of an outgoing fax at the destination, you can dial the destination number and confirm that a connection is established properly by listening to the tone signal emitted by the destination fax or speaking with a person at the destination before sending a fax. Also, you can receive a fax after following the instructions in the voice guidance (fax information service). The following features cannot be used on the G3 fax on an extension line:
On-hook dialing
You can check if a connection is properly established by the sound you hear from the speaker when an external telephone is not connected to the machine. Proceed to send a fax after hearing a long beeping sound or voice guidance prompting you to send a fax. You can also receive a fax from a fax information service.
Manual dialing
You can speak to a person at the destination using an external telephone connected to the machine before sending a fax.
The aforementioned functions cannot be used when using the function for preventing transmissions to the wrong destinations by repeating entry of the destination (repeat destination entry).
