Special Dialing Requirements
I need an “outside line.”
You may need to type a “9” or other number to reach an outside line if
you are calling from an office building (see “Dialing Prefix” on page 45).
The exact method of dialing will depend on the telephone system, but
will be the same as any other telephone used on that system.
I need to “pause” while dialing.
Type a comma ( , ) to pause for two seconds while dialing. For example (9,
222 5555). This might be used when dialing an outside line with some
office telephone systems.
I need to call long distance.
When dialing, type a “1,” the area code and the number before pressing
.
I need to dial special symbols.
In order to dial the pound sign ( # ) or the asterisk symbol ( * ), you must
be using tone dialing (see “Dial Using” on page 45). These might be used
with automated touchtone answering systems or with office telephone
systems. Be sure to hold down the key while pressing the number
key with the desired symbol.
I need to dial a “hook flash.”
Press the button then type an exclamation point ( ! ). This might be
used for transferring a call. If more numbers are required after the hook
flash, these should be typed while you are still in Dial mode, before
pressing .

How can I tell what
is happening with
the call?
The Superprint Pro80
shows you the “call
progress” using a com-
bination of the Display
and the Signal light.
Most calls require two
rings before the
Superprint Pro80 dis-
plays call progress.
