Autodialer
Your fax machine's autodialer is one of its most versatile features. It
stores your most frequently called phone and fax numbers for instant
recall — so you don't have to remember them. Now, it's easy to dial even
the most complicated international calls!
Autodialer basics
How do you autodial?
There are two kinds of autodialer numbers. The difference between the
two is how you "call them up," so to speak:
• One-touch — Pressing one of the keys, marked 01-40 (fliptab A) and
41-72 (fliptab B) on the right side of the control panel.
• Speed-dial — Pressing SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX followed by a
three-digit identifier, from 001 to 128.
How big is the memory?
How many numbers can your fax store? A total of 200 — up to 72 one-
touch numbers and up to 128 speed-dial numbers.
Which number is which?
Your fax machine's autodialer will hold more than just fax numbers: you
can store Mom's phone number along with your warehouse's fax number.
How? Because, when you command the autodialer to dial a number, the
fax checks to see whether there's a document in the feeder or the flatbed.
If there is, the machine dials as a fax machine (i.e., dials while sending
fax tones). If there isn't, it dials as a phone.
EasyDial directory: A preview
Your machine also features a built-in EasyDial directory (see page 109).
This lets you enter your fax/phone numbers along with descriptive names.
(Your machine calls this name a Location ID.) The Autodialer sorts these
listings alphabetically so, with EasyDial, you can look them up by name
as if you were using a phone book!
As you store the numbers — we'll get to that shortly — you'll see how to
enter the names so you can use this extremely handy feature.
Special dialing characters
Which number do you find easier to read: 919725552009 or 9-1-972-555-
2009?
Obviously, it's the second one. The hyphen (or dash) character ("-")
separates the number into its various parts — in this example, a 9 for
outside-line access, a 1 for long-distance access, the area code and the
phone number.
