Autodialer; Special Dialing Characters - Muratec MFX-2530 Operating Instructions Manual

Autodialer

Your fax machine's autodialer stores your most frequently called phone and fax
numbers for instant recall so you don't have to remember them. It's something like
an electronic phone book.
Autodialer basics
How do you autodial?
There are two kinds of autodialer numbers. The difference between the two is how
you dial them:
Type How to dial

Autodialing fax and phone numbers
Your fax machine's autodialer will hold more than just fax numbers. You can store
phone numbers, too.
This is because when you use the autodialer to dial a number, the fax checks to see
if there's a document in its feeder. If there is, the machine dials as a fax machine.
If there isn't, it dials as a phone.

Special Dialing Characters

Your fax machine allows you to enter special dialing characters when programming
the autodialer. These characters include hyphens and dashes, which make phone
numbers easier to read, and special characters needed for international calls.
The chart below briefly describes each of these characters. It also tells you what
keys to press on your fax machine to store those characters in your autodialer:
