numbers 0-9 Dialing numbers.
asterisk (*) If the Dialing Mode is set to pulse, the first asterisk in the dial string will switch from
pulse to tone dialing. If the Dialing Mode is set to tone, the asterisk will cause a "*"
tone to be emitted. (In Eclipse FAX SE only, a capital T can be used instead of an
asterisk.)
pound or number sign (#) If the Dialing Mode is set to tone, a pound or number sign in the dial string causes a
"#" tone to be emitted. If the Dialing Mode is set to pulse, the pound or number sign is
ignored.
hyphen (-) Inserts a 2-second pause in the fax number. (In Eclipse FAX SE only, a comma (,) can
be used instead of a hyphen.
space or blank Spaces and blanks are ignored.
Inserting a Pause in a Speed Dial Number
You may sometimes want your HP OfficeJet LX to pause while dialing a number; for example, if you need to
wait for an access tone, or when you're using a credit card. The way that pauses work varies from country to
country, but in general, you can enter pauses in a fax number by inserting a hyphen (-) for each pause. For
example, the entry "111- - - -2222" would cause the HP OfficeJet LX to dial "111," wait for four pauses, and
then dial "2222."
You can insert pauses in Speed Dial entries and numbers you dial from the front panel (for paper faxes), and
in Eclipse FAX SE phonebook entries and numbers you type in the Send Fax dialog box (for PC faxes). (If
you're dialing the number from the front panel, press the
Redial/Pause key for each desired pause.)
