Storing Numbers for Easy Dialing

You can set up your FAX/MFC for easy dialing: One Touch (FAX models only), Speed Dial and Groups for Broadcasting faxes.

If you loose electrical power, auto dial numbers in memory will not be lost.

Storing One Touch Dial Numbers (For FAX Models Only)

You can store 8 fax/phone numbers that you can dial by pressing one key (and Fax Start). You also can store names with these numbers. When you press a One Touch dial location, the LCD shows the name or number as the call is dialed. (See One Touch Dialing (For FAX Models Only), page 7-5.)
