Inserting a dial prefix

A dial prefix is a number or group of numbers that are automatically added to the beginning
of every fax number you enter at the control panel or from the software. The maximum
number of characters for a dial prefix is 50.

The default setting is Off. You might want to turn this setting on and enter a prefix if, for
example, you have to dial a number such as 9 to get a telephone line outside of your
company telephone system. While this setting is activated, you can dial a fax number without
the dial prefix by using manual dial. For instructions, see
