Your fax machine’s autodialer stores your most frequently called phone and fax
numbers for instant recall so you don’t have to remember them. It’s something like
an electronic phone book.
Autodialer basics
How do you autodial?
There are two kinds of autodialer numbers. The difference between the two is how
you dial them:
Type How to dial Amount stored
One-touch Press one of the keys, marked 01–55 55
on the left side of the control panel
Speed-dial Press
SPEED DIAL
/
TEL INDEX
followed by a 145
three-digit identifier, from 001 to 145
Total amount of numbers stored 200
Location
ID
s and the EasyDial directory
When you store numbers in your autodialer, you can give these numbers descriptive
names, such as “Chicago office” or “Billing department”. Your machine calls this
name a Location
ID
.
Your machine’s autodialer sorts these location
ID
s alphabetically. Using your
EasyDial directory, you can look up these numbers by their descriptive names, just
as if you were using a phone book.
We’ll explain how to store the numbers and location
ID
s in the next few pages.
The EasyDial directory is discussed in detail on page 3.9.
Special Dialing Characters
Your fax machine allows you to enter special dialing characters when programming
the autodialer. These characters include hyphens, which make phone numbers eas-
ier to read, and special characters needed for international calls.
The chart below briefly describes each of these characters. It also tells you what
keys to press on your fax machine to store those characters in your autodialer:
