Changing the pause length

The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long as ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause is satisfactory when you use it with your phone system, do not make this change. But, if you must:

Entering a pause character when dialing

Your fax machine provides special dialing characters which you may find useful. We’ll discuss most of them later (see page 2.8), but you may need to know now about the pause character. Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses also can be useful when you’re dialing through special telephone exchanges.

To insert a pause character, just press REDIAL/PAUSE (after you’ve dialed at least one other character). The display will show -/(the pause character). Each pause you enter lasts for a factory-set five seconds (see “Changing the pause length,” right column, for how to change this setting). For example, assuming the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9, REDIAL/PAUSE, 1 9 7 2 4 0 3 2 0 0 9 dials 9 [5-second pause] 19724032009 .

Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you’re allowed in a number.

Note: The length setting requires two digits, so there always must be a leading zero for lengths other than 10 seconds.

4. Press ENTER to save the setting.

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail

Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And, of course, any service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep your fax machine from getting fax calls. If you must use only one phone line, please consult your telephone company for information on how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax machine.
