This is a standard phone so I'm assuming you're using this in a home or small office, connected direct to a regular phone line, and that you're using calling services from your phone service provider. 3-way calling works as you describe: you press flash to get dialtone again, call the other party, then press flash again to connect the two so all three of you can talk. The point is that this is 3-way calling, not a forwarding or transfer function. You can't transfer a call to another number this way. Since you initiated the 3-way call, the connection requires you to be there; when you hang up the connection between the other two parties is broken.
Your line may also have call-forwarding, which lets you program a number that calls to your line will reach if you're away (an alternative to using voicemail or an answering machine and needing to check messages). But this doesn't allow you to transfer a current call to another number, only incoming calls.
The only way you can transfer a call is when you have the switching equipment (an office phone system, for example) at your location, and have at least two outside phone lines available. Then the system would allow your phone to disconnect, and still maintain the connection between the other parties. But both of the phone lines would remain tied up until the other parties hung up, and if you only had two lines you'd be unable to receive or make any other calls.
Residential customers with a single phone line don't have any option to transfer calls.
What if I want to hang up on the second call but go back to the first call without hanging up on them?
Just tell that person to hang up. They'll disconnect from the call and you'll still be connected to the first person. (This would also work if the first person you called hangs up. You'd still be connected to the second person you called. But it only works as long as you're still on the call.)

Hi there!
For you to send a fax with the Brother Fax you can try these steps:
1. First make sure that you have a dial tone by lifting the
handset or just by pressing the hook/speakerphone button. Once you have
verified you have a dial tone press the hook button again to return to the main
screen or hang up the handset. LCD should display the date & time
If you don't have a dial tone make sure that
the telephone line cord is connected on the fax machine's Line jack. If you
don't have a dial tone still, connect it to another working outlet. If you
don't have a dial tone still, connect a working telephone on the wall jack to
see if you'll get a dial tone. If you get a dial tone on the regular phone then
problem is either with the line cord or the fax machine.
2. Once you have the date & time on the LCD screen, Load the
document that you want to send on the automatic document feeder which is
directly above the LCD screen.
3. The LCD screen should change from the date/time to "Enter
Fax No. & Press Start" Once you got this screen dial the fax number
and then press Start.
Hope this helps. Rate if it works.
Thanks!
