STORING NUMBERS FOR AUTOMATIC DIALLING
Automatic dialling is a quick and convenient way of dialling which is performed by
either pressing a Rapid Key (Rapid Key Dialling), or pressing the SPEED key and
entering a 2-digit number (Speed Dialling). It can be used for both fax transmissions
and voice calls.
To use Automatic Dialling, you must first store the full number in your fax. The way
you store it depends on whether you want to use it for Rapid Key Dialling or Speed
Dialling:
Rapid Key Dialling: You assign a full fax number to a Rapid Key. You can also
store a name, a voice number (dialled as described in "Making telephone calls" in
Chapter 3), and a back-up fax number which is automatically dialled if the first fax
number is busy. 20 Rapid Keys are available.
Speed Dialling: You assign a full fax or voice number to a 2-digit Speed Dial
number. You can also store a name. 30 Speed Dial numbers are available. (Speed
Dial numbers are independent of Rapid Keys.)
Chain Dialling for long numbers or indirect access to alternative network opera-
tors
The maximum number of digits which may be entered when storing a telephone or fax
number is 20. If you need to store a number which is longer than 20 digits or wish to
program an access number or PIN of an alternative network operator, use Chain
Dialling.
Chain Dialling allows you to combine two or more automatic dialling numbers, or use
an automatic dialling number followed by additional digits entered manually with the
numeric keys, to dial a single number. In addition to being convenient for storing long
numbers, it allows you to store a network operator's access code or PIN as an
automatic dialling number.
For example, to store a 36-digit number for automatic dialling, you would need to
break it into two parts:
1. Store the first 20 digits into one Speed Dial number ("01", for example) using the
storing procedure on the following page, and press "1" in Step 11 of that procedure
to specify it as a Chain Dialling number (when dialling, this tells the machine to wait
for the remainder of the telephone number when you use the Speed Dial number
"01").
2. Store the remaining 16 digits into a separate Speed Dial number ("02", for example),
and this time press "2" in Step 11 of the storing procedure to specify that it is not a
Chain Dial number (this tells the machine that the final part of the number has been
dialled).
In this way, you specify all parts of the number except the last as Chain Dial numbers.
The maximum number of digits which can be dialled at one time by Chain Dialling is
50.
