A fax is used to scan documents, send information over a communications line, and then print copies to another fax. It is an effective way to transfer information without scanning it to your computer and sending it via email. With fax, you can send copies of handwritten documents or documents with signatures without any effort. Here's a simple guide to using fax.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Sending a fax

1. 1 Switch on the device.
2. 2 Insert documents face up. Lay them face up to send them the way you want them. It is also important to order these documents so that it is clear that you want to receive them. If you are sending a fax by e-mail or with a machine used by a large number of people, it is best to add a cover page.
   • Cover pages must be placed on top of documents and must include: the name of the person to whom you are faxing, the fax number, your name, your fax number and the number of pages in the expected document. The title page must be included in the number of pages.
3. 3 “Dial” the fax number on the machine. American fax numbers include 11 digits: 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx ..
4. 4 Click on the "send" button. On some machines this button is referred to as "start".

Method 2 of 3: Receive a fax

1. 1 Check if your printer can receive fax.
   • The sender must have the correct number, including the area code.
   • The device must be plugged into a power outlet.
   • The telephone line must be free. This means that the recipient should not be faxing and any phone calls should not be taking place at this point.
   • The ink cartridge must not be empty.
   • The printer must have enough paper to receive the entire fax.
2. 2 The machine starts receiving the fax. You will hear a ringing sound. Do not answer while the fax is running, as this may cause a “delay” in the fax.
3. 3 The machine starts printing. The first will be the title page.
4. 4 Make sure you receive the entire fax. Check the number of sheets
5. 5 Confirm the received fax. You can call or send a reply by fax so that the sender knows that you have received all the information. If you do not have information about the sender, look at the cover page.

Method 3 of 3: Preparing the Machine

1. 1 Plug in the power cord from the machine. The machine must be on a flat surface to allow room for the document to be dispensed.
2. 2 Connect the telephone line to the telephone jack of the device. The cord must be connected to the back or one side of the printer.
3. 3 Connect the line to the fax. The telephone jack must be connected to a working line. The machine must have a different number from your home or work line.
4. 4 Insert paper into the tray. Also make sure the machine has ink.
5. 5 Switch on the device. Check if the communication line is well connected by picking up the handset and listening to the dial tone. You can also change the settings using the options on the screen or in the menu.
