Instructions

 

  1. Insert a document in the DADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or place on the glass.

  2. Select the Fax feature from the All Features screen on the UI.

  3. Enter 0000 as the phone number.

  4. Select Start. The machine will scan the document.

  5. The scanned image(s) will be received by the Fax PWB from the SBC PWB. The Fax PWB sends it back to the SBC PWB which sends it to the IOT to print the scanned image.

    Note: This is a closed loop test. It does not check the phone line. It does prove that the image path in the machine is working correctly. You should end up with a copy of the scanned document with a fax header on the top of the page. It also will print a transmission report if this feature is enabled in Tools.
