38 Faxing: Basic Operations
Real-Time Dialing
Normally, your OKIFAX dials the entire number of
the location you have selected at one time. Occa-
sionally, you may need to dial numbers in real
time—one digit at a time.
If your OKIFAX is equipped with a handset, you can
dial in real time by picking up the handset, or you
can press the Hook/Voice Request key.
Redialing
If the line is busy or if there is no answer, your
OKIFAX will wait, and then automatically redial the
number. The dial parameter settings determine how
many times it will redial and how long it will wait
between attempts—see page 60 for details.
Also, if your OKIFAX is transmitting from
memory and a communication error occurs, it will
automatically redial the number and try to resend
the fax.
1 When selecting locations, press the Search key. The
display will show ENTER 1'ST CHAR.
2 Repeatedly press the Search key to look through the
entire list of locations in alphabetical order, or locate
the letter you want on the numeric keypad, and
press that key repeatedly to look through Location
IDs beginning with that letter.
You can redial a number manually at any time by
pressing the Redial key.
Note: If a power loss occurs, the redial information is lost—
see “Power Failures and Memory,” page 41.
Confirming Results
After transmission, press the Copy key once (with no docu-
ments loaded) to see the result of your transmission on the
display. To print the report, press the Copy key a second time.
See the chapter on Reports for more information (page 63).
Stopping a Transmission
To stop a transmission in progress, follow the instructions
below.
1 Press the Stop key twice. The display shows STOPPED.
2 If documents are stuck partway through the document
feeder, you may see a RELOAD DOCUMENT message
on the display. Press the Stop key again. Your OKIFAX
feeds the document the rest of the way through the
document feeder.
Shortcut Fax Number Programming
This convenient feature lets you program a number into
your OKIFAX for future use while you’re sending a fax
to it. It even finds the first available One Touch key (or
Auto Dial number, if all the One Touch keys are
programmed) for you to program.
