Types of Numbers
When you store a number as a One-Touch or as a Speed-Dial number, you have a
choice of choosing the type of number. There are 4 options:
1. FAX (A fax number).
2. TEL (A telephone number).
3. F/T (Both a fax number and a telephone number)
4. CHAIN (A number, usually an access code, for chain dialing).
Chain Dialing
Sometimes you may want to choose from among several long-distance carriers when
you make a call. This is because rates may vary depending on the time and
destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can register the access code of a long­
distance carrier as a One-Touch or a Speed-Dial number for chain dialing. To do this,
you store the access code as you would a regular number and register it as a “chain”
number. (See the step 10 of page 4-5.) Then, when you want to make a call, you use
this number in combination with the regular number, which also may be a One-
Touch or a Speed-Dial number.
This is also important for transmissions using credit cards.
If you want to store a phone/credit card number to be used in your dialing sequence,
you must store that phone/credit card number as a “chain” number. You can start a
chain dialing call by pressing a One-Touch key or Speed-Dial number where your
chain number is stored. Next you press another One-Touch or Speed-Dial number for
the regular phone number (either FAX, TEL or F/T number), or enter the number
manually. And then press
START to begin calling.
NOTE: When you send a fax using your credit card number in chain dialing, do NOT
send a cover page because your credit card number will be on it.
