About Fax Machines

If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little

mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone

line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

Fax Tones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones, (CNG

tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them

when you dial and press

Start

, and they continue for about 40 seconds after

dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake”

with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to

send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon

learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your

MFC line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping

sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line,

and the screen displays RECEIVING. If your MFC is set to the FAX mode,

it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the

other party hangs up, your MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about

40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING.
