Canon MP 1000 manual Using the Pause Button, Dialing or Registering Long Distance Numbers

Using the PAUSE Button

In certain cases, to dial long distance numbers and to dial through a switchboard, you must enter a pause using the PAUSE button.

Dialing or Registering Long Distance Numbers

When dialing or registering long distance fax/telephone numbers, you sometimes need to insert a pause. The location of the pause and the actual pause time differ depending on the telephone number being dialed and the telephone network in which you are communicating. See Entering Pauses below for examples of where you may have to insert pauses. If you are unsure about where to enter a pause in a number, contact your local telephone company.

Connecting Through a Switchboard

If your MultiPASS 1000 is connected to a switchboard (PBX internal switching system), you may first have to dial an outside line access number when dialing or registering fax/telephone numbers. See Entering Pauses below for examples of where you may have to insert pauses. If you are unsure about where to enter a pause in a number, contact your local telephone company.
