Entering Text

For MFC-5890CN, MFC-5895CW and MFC-6490CW

When you are setting certain menu selections, you may need to enter text into the machine. Most number keys have three or four letters printed on keys. The keys for 0, # and Bsymbol.tone do not have printed letters because they are used for special characters.
By pressing the proper number key repeatedly, you can access the character you want.
