Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers
Sometimes you may want to choose from among several long distance carriers 
when you make a call. Rates may vary depending upon the time and destination. 
To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance 
carriers as Speed-Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by 
dividing them and setting them up on separate keys in any combination. You can 
even include manual dialing using the dial pad. The combined number will be 
dialed in the order you entered it, as soon as you press Black Fax Start. (See 
You can store “555” on Speed Dial #03 and “7000” on Speed Dial #02. If you 
press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 3, Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 2, and 
Black Fax Start, you can dial “555-7000”. To temporarily change a number, 
you can substitute part of the number with manual dialing using the dial pad. 
For example, to change the number to 555-7001 you could press Search/
Speed Dial, #, 03 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad.
When you dial using an auto dial number, the LCD shows the name you’ve 
stored, or if you haven’t stored a name, the fax number you’ve stored.
Note
If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store 
a pause at that point in the number by pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press 
adds a 3.5 second delay.
