Send a fax from a phone
You can send a fax using your telephone extension. This allows you to talk with the intended recipient
before sending the fax.
To send a fax from an extension phone
1.
Load your original print-side down on the scanner glass or print-side up in the document feeder.
For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the
document feeder.
2.
Dial the number by using the keypad on the phone that is connected to the printer.
If the recipient answers the telephone, inform the recipient that they should receive the fax on
their fax machine after they hear fax tones. If a fax machine answers the call, you will hear fax
tones from the receiving fax machine.

NOTE: If prompted, select Send Fax.
The telephone is silent while the fax is transmitting. If you want to speak to the recipient after,
remain on the line until the transmission is complete. If you were finished talking to the recipient,
you can hang up the telephone as soon as the fax begins transmitting.
