CONVENIENT DIALING METHODS
This product includes an auto-dialing feature to make dialing easier.By programming frequently dialed numbers, you
can call and send documents to these locations by means of a simple dialing operation (refer to page 2-5).There are
two types of auto-dialing:one-touch dialing and group dialing.To program auto-dial numbers, refer to pages 6-3, 6-6.
●One-touch dialing
Simply press a one-touch key and then press the Start

programmed (refer to page 4-2).
●Group dialing
Multiple one-touch dial locations can be programmed into
a single one-touch key.This is convenient for successively
sending a document to multiple locations.
•Full fax numbers entered with the numeric keys cannot
bestored in agroup dialkey.Firstprogram the number in
a one-touch key and then store it in a group dial key.

The machine keeps the last fax or voice number dialed
with the numeric keys in memory.You can redial the last
number dialed by simply pressing the REDIAL key.
•If numeric keys were pressed during a phone
conversation, the REDIAL key may not dial the correct
number.
