Type the fax number in the To field, or click the Address Book button to the right of the To field to select a number.

You can choose whether to dial with touch tones or pulse tones, whether to listen to the modem as it dials, and whether to wait for a steady dial tone before dialing. To send your fax at a later time, choose Scheduler from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu and enter the time.
