Beyond the basics

Considering call groups

As we’ll explain more fully later, your fax machine can broadcast — send the same fax to numerous remote machines (see “Broadcasting,” pages 2.18–2.20). As you “train” your autodialer, you may wish to set up call groups. These are sets of phone numbers, arranged as you see fit, which make broadcasting simpler. For example, you may wish to have one call group consisting of all your clients in a particular city, another group with all of your field sales team members, another with all your vendors and still another with the various financial institutions with which you do business. Also, one number can belong to as many as 32 groups.

Your fax machine can store as many as 200 numbers in up to 32 different call groups. In the following explanations of how to store autodialer numbers, you’ll see that it’s easy to assign those number to call groups, for maximum convenience. Also, you can easily print a directory of your call groups (see page 2.15).

Using one-touch numbers

As indicated previously, your fax machine will store up to 72 one-touch numbers by using the keys marked 0140 (fliptab A) and 4172 (fliptab B).

Entering or changing a one-touch number

Important: To erase a number, see “Erasing a one-touch number” (pages 2.11–2.12).

1.

If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

 

If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

2.

Press PROGRAM, A, 1, ENTER. Depending on whether you already have a

 

number entered for one-touch number 01, the display shows either:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select One-Touch

or

Select One-Touch

 

 

 

01:No Number Stored

01:9-1-555-345-6789

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If 01 is the key you want to set, skip to step 5. (However, our sample displays from here on will say “02” rather than “01.”)

3. Press the one-touch key in which you want to store a number or change a previously stored number. Here, we’ve selected 02 and the display shows either:

Select One-Touch

Or

Select One-Touch

02:No Number Stored

02:9-1-555-987-6543

 

 

 

 

4. If you change your mind and wish to select a different one-touch key, just press that key before going on step 5.

5. Press ENTER. Depending on whether you already have a number entered for this one-touch number, the display now shows either:

02:Fax Number

or

02:Fax Number

_

9-1-555-987-6543_

 

 

 

 

6. Use the numeric keypad to enter the number exactly as your machine should dial it, including whatever access codes your phone system may require. (You may want to review “Special dialing characters,” page 2.8.) The number can be up to 40 characters in length:

02:Fax Number

9-1-555-929-2039_

Your display can show only 20 characters at a time. To view characters beyond

those 20 (such as with an international long-distance number), press to

scroll leftward or to scroll rightward.

Note: If you make a mistake or want to erase characters entered in a previous setting, press CANCEL to erase leftward. Or, if you want to change just

one character in the number, press to move the cursor leftward, or to move it rightward, to that character and press CANCEL to erase it.

Then re-enter until the number is just as you want it.

7. When the number is as you want it, press ENTER to store it.

8. The display now shows:

02:Alt. No.

or

02:Alt. No.

_

9-1-555-987-6553_

 

 

 

 

You may now enter (or change) an alternate number, just as you entered the regular number. This number, too, can be up to 40 characters long. During a transmission or polling operation (see pages 2.31–2.33), your fax machine will try to reach this alternate number only after failing with all redials (see pages 1.27–1.28) to the regular number. If all tries to the alternate number also fail, the fax will sound a beeping alarm tone

If you do not wish to enter or change an alternate number, skip to step 9. If you do wish to enter or change an alternate number, do so by using the numeric keypad the same way did in step 5.

9. Press ENTER.
