Beyond the basics
EasyDial directory dialing
The EasyDial directory dialing feature makes your autodialer even more like an
electronic phone book. EasyDial sorts and displays numbers alphabetically accord-
ing to their Location
ID
s, so you can easily find them and dial them. When the name
you want appears, you just press
START
to begin a call (either phone or fax). Your
machine’s EasyDial directory alphabetizes in the following order: upper-case let-
ters; lower-case letters; and, finally, symbols and numbers.
1
If you want to use EasyDial to make a regular phone call, make sure there’s
no document in the feeder and then skip to step 4.
If you want to use EasyDial to send a fax, insert the document.

Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.

twice. The
LCD
shows the alphabetically first listing
in your fax machine’s EasyDial directory:
Note: Here, the
[A]
indicates this listing begins with a character in the
upper-case letters set. If it began with a lower-case letter, this would
instead be an
[a]
; if it began with a symbol, this would instead be
[!]
; or, if it began with a number, this would instead be a
[0]
.
(If this listing is the one you want to dial, skip to step 6.)

Scroll through the listings to find the one you want. You do this by pressing
certain keys on the numeric keypad:
• 2 or 8 to select the character set — upper-case, lower-case, symbol or num-
ber — for the first character of the Location
ID
.
• 4 or 6 to check different listings within that character set.
Note: The scrolling is “open-ended.” For example, when you run out of list-
ings beginning with upper-case letters, pressing 4 or 6 automatically
moves you into listings beginning with other characters.

When the
LCD
is showing the name you want to dial, press

• If there is a document in the feeder, your machine will dial a fax call to the
selected autodialer number.
• If there isn’t a document in the feeder, your machine will activate the mon-
itor speaker and dial a regular phone call. (Remember that, to make a
regular phone call from your machine, you must have attached an optional
handset.) At this point, you may either:
— Lift the handset now
or
— Listen to the monitor speaker until you hear the other person answer,
and then lift the handset.
What if an EasyDial call doesn’t go through?
If an EasyDial call fails (for example, because of a busy signal), what happens next
depends upon the kind of call it was.
If it was a fax call …
… Your fax machine automatically redials the number after the redial interval (see
page 1.17). It keeps trying until either of the following occurs first:
• It successfully reaches the other number (and, if it’s a fax call, makes contact
with the machine on the other end).
• It has automatically redialed the number the last try (see page 1.16).
If it was a regular phone call …
… You’ll have to redial manually:
