HOW TO SEND A FAX
by Matt Gerchow
If you want to know how to send a fax, then you must first make sure that the fax machine is on. Many tech repairmen complain that they often have to remind people to turn on their devices if they want them to function correctly.
Once the machine is on, then you should follow a few simple steps to fax your document. Knowing how to send a fax requires that you know the fax number of the person to whom you are sending the fax.
If you have this number, then place the document you want to send in the document feed. It should lay face up.
Then enter the number of the person to whom you are sending the fax. Once you typed in the entire fax number, press the send button.
Now wait while the the document travels automatically through the document feed. It is important that you do not interrupt this process.
Depending on the fax machine, you may or may not have to catch the document as it comes out. When you are first learning how to send a fax, do not be surprised or concerned by the noises that the fax machine makes.
These noises demonstrate that it is working. It makes certain sounds as it communicates with the other fax.
It makes new sounds as it actually sends the document. The final stage in learning how to send a fax comes when you receive a display message on the fax machine.
This message will tell you if the document was successfully sent or not, so that you do not have to wonder about it later. You can also respond to a prompt at this juncture and have the machine print out a transmission report.
This leaves you with a hard copy as evidence of the transmission.
