Set special dialing symbols and options
You can insert pauses into a fax number that you are dialing. Pauses are often needed when dialing
internationally or connecting to an outside line.
● Insert a dialing pause: Press the # button repeatedly until a comma (,) appears on the control-
panel display, indicating that the pause will occur at that point in the dialing sequence.
● Insert a pause for dial tone: Press the * button repeatedly until W appears on the control-panel
display to have the product wait for a dial tone before dialing the remainder of the telephone
number.
● Insert a hook flash: Press the * button repeatedly until R appears on the control-panel display to
have the product perform a hook flash.
Set a dialing 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.
1. On the control panel, press the Setup button.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select the Fax Setup menu, and then press the OK button.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select the Basic Setup menu, and then press the OK button.
4. Use the arrow buttons to select the Dial Prefix menu, and then press the OK button.
5. Use the arrow buttons to select the On or Off option, and then press the OK button.
6. If you selected the On option, use the keypad to enter the prefix, and then press the OK button.
You can use numbers, pauses, and dialing symbols.
Set the dial-tone detection
Normally, the product begins dialing a fax number immediately. If you are using the product on the same
line as your telephone, turn on the detect-dial-tone setting. This prevents the product from sending a
fax while someone is on the telephone.
The factory-set default for detect dial tone is On for France and Hungary, and Off for all other countries/
regions.
1. On the control panel, press the Setup button.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select the Fax Setup menu, and then press the OK button.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select the Advanced Setup menu, and then press the OK button.
