Dialing Options

You can use your MFC to make voice and fax calls, by dialing
manually, or by using Tel-index, One Touch or Speed Dial
memory.

Manual Dialing

Manual dialing is simply pressing all of the digits of the phone
number.

Pick up the handset—OR—Press

Hook

When you hear a dial tone, dial the call, using the dial pad.

If you pressed

you pick up the handset.)

To hang up a voice call, replace the handset.
