SWITCHING FROM

PULSE TO TONE

DIALING

If you have pulse (rotary) service, you can still use touch-tone services, such as alternate long distance, by follow- ing these steps.

1.Enter the special service’s num- ber using pulse dialing.

2.When the special service answers, press LDT (*) on the key- pad. * appears in the display.

3.Enter the remaining numbers required by the service. The num- bers are sent as tone signals.

The fax machine returns to the pulse mode after you hang up.

Note: The LDT (long distance tone) entry can be stored in memory. When you memory dial the number, dialing stops at the LDT entry. To dial the re- maining numbers, press REDIAL/ PAUSE.

CHAIN DIALING

When using special services, such as alternate long-distance or bank-by- phone, enter the phone number of the special service first. Then, when the computer answers, enter the re- maining information, such as a long- distance number. This procedure is called chain dialing.

Notes:

•You can combine manual, one- touch, and memory dialing.

•The length of time before the com- puter answers varies, so we sug- gest you do not use a pre- programmed pause after a service number.

•If you have pulse-dialing service, be sure to include a pulse-to-tone mode change (LDT) in front of the numbers that you want to dial after the service answers.

Follow these steps to chain-dial.

1.If you want to send a document using chain dialing, load a docu- ment face down into the docu- ment feeder. See “Loading a Document” on Page 20.
