　　【Trancript】
Use your machine
A：Hi, I am afraid that the fax machine in my room won’t be working till tomorrow. A technician has just come and checked it. He will bring me a new one tomorrow. It seems there is a big problem with mine and it will take some days for repairing. Can I use the one in your office?
B：Of course you can. I am sure this one works very well. I just sent dozens of pages. How many pages are you sending? Are you familiar with my fax machine?
A：Yes, I think you have the same model as I have. Does your fax machine print out immediately a transmission protocol¹?
B：Yes, it will print immediately.
