Chapter 3

Text and symbols

You can use the keypad on the control panel to enter text and symbols. You can also enter text and symbols from the control panel by using the visual keyboard (some models only). The visual keyboard appears automatically on the color display when you set up a wired or wireless network, the fax header, or speed-dial entries.

You can also enter symbols from the keypad when you dial a fax or phone number. When the device dials the number, it interprets the symbol and responds accordingly. For example, if you enter a dash in the fax number, the device will pause before dialing the remainder of the number. A pause is useful if you need to gain access to an outside line before dialing the fax number.

NOTE: If you want to enter a symbol in your fax number, such as a dash, you need to enter the symbol by using the keypad.
