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:

Call groups
As you set up your autodialer, you may also want to set up call groups. These are sets
of phone numbers that make it easy to send the same fax to many different loca-
tions. For example, one call group may include all of your clients in one city, another
group may include all of your employees and another may include all your vendors.
Your fax machine can store as many as 300 numbers in up to 32 call groups.
See also "Call group dialing," page 3.6.

Special Dialing Characters
Your fax machine allows you to enter special dialing characters when programming
the autodialer. These characters include hyphens, which make phone numbers eas-
ier 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:
Char. What it does
Enters a pause. Each pause lasts two
seconds (or whatever length you set; see

characters you can store in one phone
number.
