Special dialling

This section explains how to dial through a switchboard, dial long distance numbers, register your number to an outside line and con®rm a dial tone.

j Dialling through a switchboard (PBX)

2

A PBX (private branch exchange) is an on-site telephone switchboard.

 

¦If your fax is connected through a switchboard, dial an outside line access number ®rst. Then dial the rest of the number.

¦If you want to dial with automatic dialling, you may have to insert a pause between the outside line number and the telephone number when you register the number for One-touch or Coded Speed Dialling. To enter a pause, press [REDIAL/PAUSE].

¦When you have to make calls to an outside line or an extension, you may have to press the [R] button. Before you can use the [R] button, you have to register it.See p. 40.

jLong distance dialling

When you register a long distance number, you may have to insert a pause within or after the number. For long distance dialling, the location and length of the pause may differ depending on the telephone system. To enter a pause, press [REDIAL/PAUSE]. A pause within a number is 2 seconds long*. The length of this pause can be adjusted, see MID PAUSE SET in TX SETTINGS., p. 85. A pause at the end of a number is ®xed at 10 seconds.

*4 seconds long in the UK.

jCon®rming a dial tone**

When you register a number, you may have to con®rm the dial tone in the middle of a facsimile number before entering the rest of the number. This is called dial tone detection. When dial tone detection is required, press [D.T.]; a small dot (*) appears on the LCD.

** This feature is ineffective in the UK.
