Chapter 2 Basic Fax Transmission
Dial Prefix
Your machine has the following functions to utilize your existing fax phone numbers database:
• LDAP database search for fax phone numbers (Directory Search)
• Import an existing fax phone number list in CSV file format (Network Address Book Editor software)
The phone numbers in the database are usually 10-digit numbers (It differs in each countries’
specifications) that are not in the format of phone numbers actually dialled through a PBX.
Ex: (In the case of 10-digit number in the database.)
• A fax phone number in the database is shown as 212 555 1234
• A long distance fax phone number format that is dialled via a PBX, is as 9+1+212 555 1234
The Dial Prefix function allows you to program a Dial Prefix including a PBX Dial-out Prefix (e.g. “9”)
and the Long Distance Call Code (=1). The pre-programmed Dial Prefix will be automatically dialled
only when the fax phone number is a 10-digit number, allowing you to utilize the existing database
without modifying it.
To enable this function, enter the Dial Prefix number in “122 Dial Prefix”. For more details, refer to Fax/
Email Settings in the Operating Instructions (For Function Parameters) of provided CD-ROM.
zThis feature is available in certain countries only.
zOnly numbers (0 to 9) will be counted for 10 digits. Any other characters or symbols (such as “-” will be
ignored.)
zThis function is not available when using Monitor dialling or Off-hook dialling with either the optional handset or
an external telephone
set.
