Dial Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long-distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes of long-distance carriers and credit card numbers as Address Book numbers.

You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate Address Book numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialing.

For example: you might have stored ‘555’ on Address Book: Brother 1 (#03) and ‘7000’ on Address Book: Brother 2 (#02). You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the following:

  1. Press image (Address Book).
  2. Press image or image to select [Search] and then press OK.
  3. Enter 03 (the two-digit Speed Dial number of Brother 1) using the dial pad.
  4. Press image or image to select [Address Book], and then press OK.
  5. Read and review the message on the LCD, and then press image.
  6. Press image or image to select [Search] and then press OK.
  7. Enter 02 (the two-digit Speed Dial number of Brother 2) using the dial pad.
  8. Press Black Start or Color Start.
    You will dial '555-7000'.

To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number by using the dial pad. For example, to change the number to '555-7001', you could enter the number (Brother 1: 555) using Address Book, and then press 7001 using the dial pad.
