Set a dialing 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 active, you can dial a fax number without the dial prefix by using manual dial.

1.From the Home screen, touch the Setup button.

2.Touch the Fax Setup menu.

3.Touch the Basic Setup menu.

4.Scroll to and touch the Dial Prefix button, and then touch the On button.

5.Use the keypad to enter the prefix, and then touch the OK button. You can use numbers, pauses, and dialing symbols.

Set the dial-tone detection

Normally, the product begins dialing a fax number immediately. If you are using the product on the same line as your telephone, turn on the detect-dial-tone setting. This prevents the product from sending a fax while someone is on the telephone.
