Apple Fax - Manual (Page 69)

Setting your location
Apple Fax uses the Location preferences settings in Apple
Address Book to take into account where you are “dialing
from” when you make an outgoing call.
Let’s assume, for example, that you are sending a fax to a
number in New York City that is stored in your address book
as 1-212-324-1005. If you set your location to New York,
Apple Fax knows that the “1” and the “212” area code are
unnecessary and dials only the local number (324-1005). If
you are in New Orleans, Apple Fax dials “1”, then the “212”
area code for New York, then the local number. By the same
token, if you store a number in Paris as 33-1-45 75 09 85, this
entire number is dialed when your location is set to New
York. But, if you are in Paris (and set your location to Paris in
the address book), Apple Fax dials only the local number
(45 75 09 85).
The location feature lets you keep all necessary information
for each entry in your address book and uses intelligence
about your current location to dial only the numbers
necessary for a given call.
You could also create a location that has a special prefix,
such as 0 or 9, to get an outside line from an office.
You set your location in the Apple Address Book
Preferences. Apple Fax only uses the information
stored there.
