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 (FAX models only) or Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up on separate keys 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 Fax Start. (See Storing One Touch Dial Numbers (For FAX Models Only), page 7-1,and Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-2.)

For the FAX models, you can store “555” on One Touch key 3 and “7000” on One Touch key 4. If you press One Touch 3, 4, and Fax Start, you can dial “5557000”. 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 5557001 you could press One Touch 3 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad.

(For FAX-2800 and MFC-4800) you can store “555” on Speed Dial key # 03 and “7000” on Speed Dial key # 04. If you press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 3 and Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 4, and Fax Start, you can dial “5557000”. 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 5557001 you could press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 3 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad.

(For FAX-2900 and FAX-3800) you can store “555” on Speed Dial key # 003 and “7000” on Speed Dial key # 004. If you press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 0, 3 and Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 0, 4, and Fax Start, you can dial “5557000”. 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 5557001 you could press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 0, 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.
