Special symbol Button Description
Dialing pause The Redial/Pause button is available on the control panel keypad for entering a
fax number. You can also touch the comma button to insert a dialing pause.
Pause for dial tone The W button is available only when you are entering the fax number for a
phone book entry. This character causes the product to wait for a dial tone
before dialing the remainder of the telephone number.
Hook flash The R button is available only when you are entering the fax number for a
phone book entry. This character causes the product to insert a hook flash.
Set a dialing prefix
A dial prefix is a number or group of numbers that are automatically added to the beginning of every fax
number you enter at the control panel or from the software. The maximum number of characters for a dial
prefix is 50.
The default setting is Off . You might want to turn this setting on and enter a prefix if, for example, you have
to dial a number such as 9 to get a telephone line outside of your company telephone system. While this
setting is active, you can dial a fax number without the dial prefix by using manual dial.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Basic Setup menu.
4. Scroll to and touch the Dial Prefix button, and then touch the On button.
5. Use the keypad to enter the prefix, and then touch the OK button. You can use numbers, pauses, and
dialing symbols.
Set the dial tone detection
Normally, the product begins dialing a fax number immediately. If you are using the product on the same line
as your telephone, turn on the detect-dial-tone setting. This prevents the product from sending a fax while
someone is on the telephone.
The factory-set default for detect dial tone is On for France and Hungary, and Off for all other countries/
regions.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Advanced Setup menu.
4. Scroll to and touch the Detect Dial Tone button, and then touch the On button.
