Dialing access codes and 
credit card numbers8
You can combine more than one Quick-Dial 
number when you dial. This feature may be 
useful if you need to dial an access code for 
a cheaper rate long distance carrier.
For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on 
Speed-Dial #03 and ‘7000’ on Speed-Dial 
#02. You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ 
if you press the following keys:
Search/Speed Dial, #03, 
Search/Speed Dial, #02, and Start.
Numbers can be added manually by entering 
them on the dial pad:
Search/Speed Dial, #03, 7, 0, 0, 1 (on the 
dial pad), and Start.
This would dial ‘555–7001’. You can also add 
a pause by pressing the Redial/Pause key.

You can use the Transmission Report as 
proof that you sent a fax. This report lists the 
time and date of transmission and whether 
the transmission was successful (OK). If you 
choose On or On+Image, the report will print 
for every fax you send.
If you send a lot of faxes to the same place, 
you may need more than the job numbers to 
know which faxes you must send again. 
Choosing On+Image or Off+Image will print 
a section of the faxs first page on the report 
to help you remember.
When the Verification Report is turned Off or
