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 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 (￿p. 7-5) and the other party’s line is busy, the FAX waits the specified time interval and then redials the number automatically. This is called Automatic redialling.

You will know that the FAX is waiting to redial when AUTOREDIALand the transaction number (TX/RXNO.) are displayed in the LCD.

The automatic redialling options allow you to customise the number of times the FAX redials, as well as the time interval between redials. You can also disable automatic redialling if you prefer the FAX not to do so.

If all automatic redialling attempts are unsuccessful, the FAX cancels the transmission and prints an ERROR TX REPORT to notify you that the transmission was not completed (￿p. 11-4).

Cancelling Automatic Redialling

Automatic redialling cannot be cancelled with the Stop button while the FAX is waiting to redial. You can either wait until the FAX begins redialling and then follow the procedure below, or if you want to cancel while the FAX is waiting to redial, you will have to delete the document from memory (￿p. 9-9).

Follow this procedure to cancel automatic redialling when the FAX begins redialling:

1 Wait until the FAX begins redialling.
