the connection, and moves to the next number in the list. This continues until the list has been completed. If
the printer is unable to make a connection to a fax number, the printer moves to the next number in the list.
The number to which a connection was not established is moved to the end of the list, and it is tried again
when the rest of the list has been completed.

NOTE:

Fax numbers to which the printer could not establish a connection are retried based on the

number of retries specified in the Dialing and Sending options. For more information, see
