Redialling When the Line is Busy

There are two methods of redialling:
Manual redialling
and
Automatic redialling
. This section
explains these two methods.

Manual Redialling

Press R (Redial)/Pause to dial the last number you dialled with the numeric buttons. (This
starts redialling regardless of whether automatic redialling is enabled.)
Cancelling Manual Redialling
To cancel manual redialling, press Stop.

Automatic Redialling

What is Automatic Redialling?
When you are sending a document using memory sending and the other party’s line is busy,
the unit waits the specified time and then dials the same number again. You can set your unit
to redial several times if previous attempts fail because of a busy signal. This feature is called
Automatic redialling
.
After the initial dial attempt, your unit is factory-set to wait two minutes and then try to dial
again. If the second attempt fails because the line was busy, the unit will again wait for two
minutes and make a final attempt to complete the call.
Automatic redialling can be turned off and on. The number of redialling attempts and the time
interval between attempts can also be adjusted. ( p. 7-12)
If all redialling attempts are unsuccessful, the unit will cancel the transmission and print an
ERROR TX REPORT to remind you that the transmission was not completed. ( p. 11-4)
nFor MultiPASS models, you can also set the automatic redialling feature from the MultiPASS Suite.

When automatic redialling is in use, the LCD alternately displays AUTO REDIAL and the
transaction number (TX/RX NO.) while it is waiting to redial.
