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)
Since the phone numbers in such database are usually 10-digit numbers that are not in the format of
numbers that are actually dialed through your PBX.
Ex:
• A fax phone number in the database is shown as 212 555 1234
• An out of the dialing area fax phone number format that is dialed 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”),
the Long Distance Call Code (=1), and the pre-programmed Dial Prefix will be automatically dialed 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 of “122 Dial Prefix”. For instructions on how to
change the standard setting, refer to Fax/Email Settings in the Operating Instructions (For Function
Parameters) on the provided CD-ROM.
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 Dialing or off-hook dialing with either the optional handset or
an external telephone set.
If the number to dial is a 10-digit number.
