Beyond the Basics
Your fax machine’s autodialler 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.
Autodialler basics
How do you autodial?
There are two kinds of autodialler 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 01–64 64
on the right side of the control panel
Speed-dial Press
SPEED DIAL
/
TEL INDEX
followed by a 136
three-digit identifier, from 001 to 136
Total amount of numbers stored 200
Autodialling fax and phone numbers
Your fax machine’s autodialler will hold more than just fax numbers. You can store
phone numbers, too.
This is because when you use the autodialler to dial a number, the fax checks to see
if there’s a document in its feeder. If there is, the machine dials as a fax machine. If
there isn’t, it dials as a phone.
Location
ID
s and the EasyDial directory
When you store numbers in your autodialler, 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 autodialler sorts these location
ID
s alphabetically. Using your
EasyDial directory, 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
EasyDial directory is discussed in detail on page 2.15.
Special Dialling Characters
Your fax machine allows you to enter special dialling characters when programming
the autodialler. These characters include hyphens and dashes, which make phone
numbers easier 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 autodialler:
