About Auto ID™

The Auto ID™ feature alerts a hearing person that you are calling from a TTY. It alerts the person by sending several audible tones over the telephone line every few seconds. Auto ID helps emergency service centers such as 911 automatically detect that you are calling by TTY.

Auto ID comes on when you turn on your Miniprint 425 and continues until you start a conversation. If you are on-line, you will see SENDING AUTO ID every time the Miniprint 425 sends out tones.Auto ID will also begin sending tones when- ever no one types for a few minutes during a conversation. It will continue until someone starts typing.

You can turn off Auto ID in the options menu. See Turning off Auto ID on page 27.

Note: When you turn off Auto ID, it stays off and will not send tones until you turn it on again.This means that an emergency service center such as 911 cannot use Auto ID tones to detect your TTY call.

If a word is too long to fit at the end of a line, the printer divides it with a dash.You can also start a new line yourself by pressing the Return key. Often a few characters will not be printed at the end of a conversation unless you press the Return key before you turn off the TTY.
