4 Telephone (Voice) Operation

Making Voice Calls

You can use your FAX/MFC to make voice telephone calls, by dialling manually or by using Search, One Touch (FAX 2850) or Speed Dial memory. When you dial an auto dial number, the screen displays the name you’ve stored, or if you haven’t stored a name, the fax number you’ve stored.

You can also use Chain Dialling or Pause function. (See Chain Dialling, page 17 and Pause, page 26)

Manual Dialling

Manual dialling is simply pressing all of the digits of the phone number. 1 Pick up the handset. —OR— Press Hook.

3 If you pressed Hook to dial the call, pick up the handset when the other party answers. (The speaker works only one way; the other party won’t be able to hear you unless you pick up the handset.)

4 To hang up, replace the handset.

Search

You can search for names you have stored in One Touch (FAX-2850) and Speed Dial

memories. (See Storing One Touch Dial Numbers (For FAX-2850 Only), page 14 and Storing Speed Dial Numbers in Chapter 1.)
