Entering a pause character when dialling
Your fax machine provides special dialling characters which you may find useful.
We’ll discuss most of them later (see page 2.7), but you may need to know now about
the pause character. Some long-distance systems require dialling pauses, and pauses
also can be useful when you’re dialling through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause character, just press
REDIAL
/
PAUSE
(after you’ve dialled at least one
other character). The display will show
-/
(the pause character). Each pause you
enter lasts for a factory-set five seconds (see “Changing the pause length,” right
column, for how to change this setting). For example, assuming the pause is at the
factory setting, pressing 9,
REDIAL
/
PAUSE
, 1 9 7 2 4 0 3 2 0 0 9 dials 9 [5-second
pause] 1 9 7 2 4 0 3 2 0 0 9 .
Important:
Each pause uses two of the characters you’re allowed in a number.
Changing the pause length
The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long as
ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause is satisfactory when you
use it with your phone system, do not make this change. But, if you must:

we’ve chosen nine seconds.

zero for lengths other than 10 seconds.

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail
Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception and, of course,
any service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep your
fax machine from getting fax calls. If you must use only one phone line, please
consult your telephone company for information on how you can temporarily disable
call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax machine.
