Inserting a dial prefix

A dial prefix is a number or group of numbers that are automatically added to the beginning of every fax number you enter at the control panel or from the software. The maximum number of characters for a dial prefix is 50.

The default setting is Off. You might want to turn this setting on and enter a prefix if, for example, you have to dial a number such as 9 to get a telephone line outside of your company telephone system. While this setting is activated, you can dial a fax number without the dial prefix by using manual dial. For instructions, see Using manual dial.

To set the dial prefix

1.On the device control panel, press MENU.

2.Use the < or the > button to select Fax setup, and then press ENTER.

3.Press the > button once to select Fax Send setup, and then press ENTER.

4.Use the < or the > button to select Dial Prefix, and then press ENTER.

5.Use the < or the > button to select On or Off, and then press ENTER.

6.If you selected On, use the alphanumeric buttons to enter the prefix, and then press ENTER. You can use numbers, pauses, and dialing symbols.
