"Hi! I’m Mark Westling with All Brands Laser Printers, Copiers and Fax and I’m here today on behalf of expertvillage.com to show you how to send a fax message to another user. The first thing you have to know is the other persons dedicated fax phone number, with that in hand go ahead and come to your fax, put the documents you’re about to send in the document feed like this, then go ahead and enter the number you’ll be sending it to…then go ahead and press the fax send button, it will go ahead and scan the documents in and send them to the remote location. You will notice that you hear some noise those tones are called the handshake, that’s how a fax machine knows it’s communicating with another fax machine kind of like, “hi, how are you doing? What speed can you send at? Great I can only receive at this speed, will you send me the documents at that speed.” That’s what that noise is people always ask me, “What’s all that squealing?” It’s the fax machines communicating with each other. When the fax is complete you’ll get a display on here and you can also set your machine to printout a transmission report stating that the transmission was received, also you can run transmission reports at anytime using the keypad."
