The dialing prefix is the number or series of numbers that you press before you can dial the actual fax number or
telephone number. If the printer is in an office setting or in a private branch exchange, then this can be a specific
number that you need to press so you can make a call outside the office.

PRINTER
MEMORY
The printer saves an incoming fax to the printer memory before it prints the fax. If the printer runs out of ink or
runs out of paper while receiving the fax, then the printer saves the fax so you can print it later. However, if the
printer memory is full, then the printer may not be able to receive more incoming faxes. An error message
appears on the touch screen when the printer memory is full. Resolve the error to free up space in the printer
memory.
