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 One Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up separately 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 Storing One Touch Dial Numbers, page 8-1.)

You store “555” on One Touch key 3 and “7000” on One Touch key 4. If you press One Touch 3, 4 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 One Touch 3 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad.

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.

Broadcasting (Not Available for Color Faxes)

Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax numbers. Using the Menu/Set key, you can include Groups, One Touch locations, Speed Dial locations plus up to 50 manually dialed numbers. If you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers, you can “broadcast” faxes automatically to up to 158 different locations from the MFC. However, available memory will vary with all types of jobs in memory and numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to set up transmissions using dual access and the timer.

The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys. You can include One Touch, Speed Dial, and manually dialed numbers in the same broadcast. (See Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting, page 8-3.)

You must press Menu/Set between each of these locations.

Use the Search/Speed Dial to help you choose the numbers easily.

After the broadcast is finished, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically to let you know the results.

■To stop the broadcast in progress, press Stop/Exit. The LCD asks if you want to cancel the location that is being sent.

■Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you normally would, but keep in mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can call becomes limited.

■If the line is busy or for other reasons a connection could not be made while broadcasting, the MFC will redial the number automatically.
