Dialing Options When you dial using an auto dial number, the LCD shows the name you've stored, or if you haven't stored a name, the fax number you've stored. Search You can search for names you have stored in Speed Dial memory. (See Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 8-1.) 1 Place the original face down in the ADF. 2 Press Search/Speed Dial. 3 To search for numbers alphabetically by name, enter the first letter of the name, and then press or . -OR- To search for numbers numerically by Speed-Dial number, press or . 4 When the LCD shows the name you want to call, press Black Fax Start. Speed Dialing 1 Place the original face down in the ADF. 2 Press Search/Speed Dial, press #, and then press the two-digit Speed Dial location. (See Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 8-1.) 3 Press Black Fax Start. Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers Sometimes you may want to choose from among several long distance carriers when you make a call. Rates may vary depending upon the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance carriers as Speed-Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up on separate keys in any combination. You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad. The combined number will be dialed in the order you entered it, as soon as you press Black Fax Start. (See Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 8-1.) You can store "555" on Speed Dial #03 and "7000" on Speed Dial #02. If you press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 3, Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 2, and Black Fax Start, you can dial "555-7000". To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number with manual dialing using the dial pad. For example, to change the number to 555-7001 you could press Search/ Speed Dial, #, 03 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad. Note If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store a pause at that point in the number by pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a 3.5 second delay. 8-4 AUTO DIAL NUMBERS AND DIALING OPTIONS
