Search Key Dialing

If you are not sure which One-Touch key or Auto Dial number contains the location you want to communicate with, use the SEARCH key to look through an alphabetical list of all of the Location IDs programmed into your machine.

1When selecting locations, press the SEARCH key. The display shows ENTER 1-ST CHAR.

2Repeatedly press the SEARCH key to look through the entire list of locations in alphabeti- cal order, or locate the letter you want on the

numeric keypad, and press that key repeatedly to look through Location IDs beginning with that letter.

Real-Time Dialing

Normally, your machine dials the entire number of the location you have selected at one time. Occa- sionally, it may be necessary to dial numbers in real time (one digit at a time).

If your machine is equipped with a handset, you can dial in real time by picking up the handset. Or, press the HOOK/V. REQUEST key.

Redialing

If the line is busy or if there is no answer, your machine waits, and then automatically redials the number.

If your machine is transmitting from memory and a communication error occurs, it automatically redials the number and tries to send the fax again.

You can redial a number manually at any time by pressing the REDIAL key.
