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:
Type
How to dial Amount stored
One-touch Press one of the keys, marked 01–55 55
on the left side of the control panel
Speed-dial Press
SPEED DIAL
/
TEL INDEX
followed by a 145
three-digit identifier, from 001 to 145
Total amount of numbers stored 200
Location
ID
s and the Telephone Index dialing
When you store numbers in your autodialer, you can give these numbers descriptive
names, such as “Chicago office” or “Billing department”. Your machine calls this
name a Location
ID
.
Your machine’s autodialer sorts these location
ID
s alphabetically. Using your
Telephone Index dialing, you can look up these numbers by their descriptive names,
just as if you were using a phone book.
We’ll explain how to store the numbers and location
ID
s in the next few pages.
The Telephone Index dialing is discussed in detail on page 3.8.
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 200 numbers in up to 32 call groups.
See also “Call group dialing,” page 3.7.
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:
