Chain Dialing

The maximum number of digits that may be entered when storing a fax phone number is 20. If
you need to store a number that is longer than 20 digits, use Chain Dialing. Rapid key or speed
dial numbers are designated as "Chain Dial" numbers when they are stored.
The Chain Dialing function allows you to combine an Automatic Dialing number set for Chain
Dialing (see Fax Setup/Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialing) with another Automatic Dialing
number or digits entered manually with the number keys to dial one phone number up to 50 digits
long. In addition to being convenient for storing long numbers, it allows you to store an area code
or access code as an Automatic dialing number.
The following are some examples of how this can be done:
Enter Speed Dial numbers that you have programmed for Chain Dialing. For example, to
store a 36-digit number for Automatic dialing, you can break it into two parts. Store the first
part of a fax number in Speed dial number 22, then press "1" in step 10 of that procedure to
specify it as a Chain Dial number. Store the second half in Speed dial number 27 and press
"2" in step 10 to specify that it is not a Chain Dial number. To dial, press Speed Dial/Search
and "22", then press Speed Dial/Search and "27". Press Start Fax to begin transmission.
Press a Rapid key that is set for Chain Dialing and then manually enter a number by pressing
the appropriate number keys. Press the Start Fax key after the final number key to begin
transmission. You can use this method, for example, when you have stored a long distance
access code into a Rapid key, and want to dial this in combination with a number that is not
stored as an automatic dialing number. You can also store a long distance number into a
Rapid key, and dial this in combination with an access code not stored as an automatic dialing
number.
Store long distance numbers as Chain Dial numbers, and store a calling card number or
access code as a non-chain number. Dial this combination to make a long distance call.
