34 Faxing: Basic Operations
The table below explains some of the messages you may
see during a typical fax transmission.
Note: By default, One Touch keys and Auto Dial numbers
begin transmission automatically, without pressing the
Start key. The Auto Start setting lets you change this—
see page 54 for details.
