Automatic faxing with a calling card


You can send a fax automatically using a calling card, but you must enter the entire dialing sequence - the calling card number and the fax - at once.


When sending an automatic fax with a calling card, you may be required to enter pauses in the dialing sequence to account for dialing prompts. You can press Redial/Pause to enter a 3.5-second pause in the dialing sequence. You may repeatedly press Redial/Pause to enter as many pauses as necessary.
