FAX DESTINATION CONFIRMATION MODE
The fax destination confirmation mode displays a destination confirmation message when a fax transmission is

will appear. Touch the [OK] key and re-enter the 
destination. If an incorrect number is entered for 
confirmation 3 times in a row, the screen will revert to the
