Combining Quick Dial
numbers 8
Sometimes you may want to choose from
several long distance carriers when you send
a fax. Rates may vary depending on the time
and destination. To take advantage of low
rates, you can store the access codes of long-
distance carriers and credit card numbers as
Speed Dial numbers. You can store these
long dialling sequences by dividing them and
setting them up as separate Speed Dial
numbers in any combination. You can even
include manual dialling using the dial pad.
(See Storing Speed Dial numbers
on page 52.)
For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on
Speed Dial #03 and ‘7000’ on Speed Dial
#02. You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’
if you press the following keys:
(Speed Dial), OK, #03, (Speed Dial),
#02, and Mono Start.
To temporarily change a number, you can
substitute part of the number with manual
dialling using the dial pad. For example, to
change the number to 555-7001 you could
press the following keys:
(Speed Dial), OK, #03, 7, 0, 0, 1 (on the
dial pad), and Mono Start.
You can also add a pause by pressing the
Redial/Pause key.
