Types of Numbers
When you store a number as a One-Touch or as a Speed-Dial number, you have a
choice of choosing the type of number. There are 4 options:
1. FAX (A fax number).
2. TEL (A telephone number).
3. F/T (Both a fax number and a telephone number)
4. CHAIN (A number, usually an access code, for chain dialing).
Chain Dialing
Chain dialing is used to store a very long dialing sequence. You can spread the
number over two or more keys if you register the first key(s) in the sequence as type
"Chain". Chain tells the system that the dialing sequence is not completed
and that there is more to follow. The last key in the sequence must be any other
dial type (either FAX, TEL or F/T). You can use any combination of One-Touch,
Speed-Dial and manually dialed numbers in a chain.
If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store a
pause at that point in the number by pressing the Pause/Redial key. (If you need a
pause that is longer than 3.5 seconds, call our Fax Diagnostic Center at 1-800-284-
4329 (USA), 1-800-853-6660 (CANADA) for assistance.) Only one pause can be
stored in each One-Touch and Speed-Dial number.
When you are ready to dial the chain number, simply press the keys one after the
other in sequence and then press the Start key.
Chain dialing makes using access codes easy. Sometimes'you may want to choose
from among several long-distance carriers when you make a call; rates may vary
depending upon the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can
store the access code of a long-distance carrier as you would a regular number and
register it as a"chain" number. Then to dial, press this (access code) number followed
by the regular number and the Start key.
You can set up chain dialing for phone/credit card numbers, the same way. However,
when using chain dialing, do NOT send a cover page because your credit
card number will be on it.
Storing Speed-Dial Numbers
When you store a phone or fax number as a Speed-Dial number, you must enter a two-digit
number, from 01 to 00 (00=100) for using the number keys. For example, you cannot enter "5".
You must enter "05". You can store as many as 100 numbers as Speed-Dial numbers.
