EasyDial directory dialing

The EasyDial directory dialing feature makes your machine’s autodialer even more like
an electronic phone book. EasyDial sorts and displays numbers alphabetically according
to their Location IDs, so you can easily find them and dial them. When the name you
want appears, you just press START to begin a call (either phone or fax). Your machine’s
EasyDial directory alphabetizes in the following order: upper-case letters; lower-case
letters; and, finally, symbols and numbers.
1. To use EasyDial to send a fax, insert the document.
To use EasyDial to make a regular (voice) phone call, make sure there’s no
document in the feeder or the flatbed and obtain a dial tone by doing one of the
following:
• Lifting the handset and then skip to step 3.
• Press MONITOR/CALL to use the monitor speaker and then skip to step 3.
2. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.
3. If you want to toggle between transmission from memory and transmission
from the feeder (i.e., non-memory transmission), press MEMORY TRANSMIT.
Note: This toggle affects only a transmission from the ADF. Transmission
from the FBS is always memory transmission.
4. Press SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX twice. The display shows the alphabetically first
listing in your fax machine’s EasyDial directory:
Telephone Index [A]
ABC Company :[01]
Note: Here, the [A] indicates this listing begins with a character in the upper-
case letters set. If it began with a lower-case letter, this would instead
be an [a]; if it began with a symbol, this would instead be a [!]; or, if it
began with a number, this would instead be a [0].
(If this listing is the one you want to dial, skip to step 6.)
5. Scroll through the listings to find the one you want. You do this by pressing
certain keys on the numeric keypad:
• 2 or 8 to select the character set — upper-case, lower-case, symbol or
number — for the first character o f th e Lo catio n ID.
• 4 or 6 to check different listings withi n that char acter set .
Note: The scrolling is “open-ended.” For example, when you run out of
listings beginning with upper-case letters, pressing 4 or 6 auto-
matically moves you into listings beginning with other characters.
6. When the display is showing the name you want to dial, press START.
• If there is a document in the feeder, your machine will dial a fax call to the
selected autodialer number.
• If there isn’t a document in the feeder, your machine will activate the
monitor speaker and dial a regular phone call. (Remember that, to make a
regular phone call from your machine, you must have attached an optional
handset.) At this point, you may either:
— Lift the handset now
… or …
— Listen to the monitor speaker until you hear the other person answer,
and then lift the handset.

What if an EasyDial call doesn’t go through?

If an EasyDial call fails (for example, because of a busy sig nal) , what happen s next
depends upon the kind of call it was.

If it was a fax call . . .

. . . Your fax machine automatically redials the number after the redial interval (see
pages 1.27-1.28). It keeps trying until either of the following occurs first:
• It successfully reaches the other number (and, if it’s a fax call, makes contact with
the machine on the other end).
• It has automatically redialed the number the last try (see pages 1.27–1.28).

If it was a regular phone call . .

. . . You’ll have to redial manually:
1. Obtain a dial tone by either lifting the handset or pressing MONITOR/CALL.
2. Press REDIAL/PAUSE.
