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 and ‘7000’ on Address Book: Brother 2. You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the following:

  1. Press image [Fax]>[Address Book].
  2. Press image or image to display the number of Brother 1.
  3. Press the number.
  4. Press [Apply].
  5. Press image[Options].
  6. Press image or image to display the [Address Book] option, and then press it.
  7. Read and review the message on the touchscreen, and then press [OK].
  8. Press image or image to display the number of Brother 2.
  9. Press the number.
  10. Press [Apply].
  11. Press [Fax Start].
    You will dial '555-7000'.

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

If you must wait for another dial tone or signal at any point in the dialing sequence, create a pause in the number by pressing [Pause].
