PREPARING TO USE YOUR FAX

Special dialling
This section explains how to dial through a switchboard, dial long distance numbers,
register your number to an outside line and confirm a dial tone.
■ Dialling through a switchboard (PBX)
A PBX (private branch exchange) is an on-site telephone switchboard.
❚ If your fax is connected through a switchboard, dial an outside line access number
first. Then dial the rest of the number.
❚ If you want to dial with automatic dialling, you may have to insert a pause between
the outside line number and the telephone number when you register the number for
One-touch or Coded Speed Dialling. To enter a pause, press [Redial/Pause].
❚ When you have to make calls to an outside line or an extension, you may have to
press the [R] button. Before you can use the [R] button, you have to register it.
See p. 40.
■ Long distance dialling
When you register a long distance number, you may have to insert a pause within or
after the number. For a long distance dialling, the location and length of the pause
may differ depending on the telephone system. To enter a pause, press [Redial/Pause].
A pause within a number is 2 seconds long*. The length of this pause can be adjusted.
See MID PAUSE SET in TX SETTINGS, p. 87. A pause at the end of a number is
fixed at 10 seconds.
*4 seconds long in the UK and Hong Kong. Users in the UK and Hong Kong cannot enter
continuous pauses.
■ Confirming a dial tone**
When you register a number, you may have to confirm the dial tone in the middle of a
facsimile number before entering the rest of the number. This is called dial tone
detection. When dial tone detection is required, press [D.T.]; a small dot (.) appears on
the LCD.
**This feature is ineffective in the UK, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and
Malaysia.
