5Speed Dialing
This chapter describes how to register and use the speed dialing features of the machine.
Speed Dialing Methods
In addition to regular dialing, the machine provides several ways to dial fax/telephone numbers 
automatically.
■ One-Touch Speed DialingDial a fax/telephone number by pressing the One-Touch Speed Dial button that the number is assigned to.
■Coded Speed DialingDial a fax/telephone number by pressing [Coded Dial] followed by a two-digit code assigned to that number.
■Group DialingSend a document to a pre-defined group of fax numbers. (The numbers must already be stored as One-Touch 
Speed Dialing numbers or Coded Speed Dialing numbers.)
■Directory DialingDial a fax/telephone number by pressing [Directory] and entering the first letter of the other partys name. In this 
manner you can search for the fax/telephone number registered for One-Touch Speed Dialing.
The following pages describe how to  register numbers for speed dialing. You will also find instructions 
for changing numbers and names registered under  speed dialing buttons and codes, and how to use 
speed dialing.

CHAPTER
8Setting Up and Using Polling
This chapter shows you how to set up and use polling sending and receiving. Polling is useful when one or both 
parties cannot be in the office at the same time.
What’s Polling?
Polling means a fax calls another fax and requests the ot her fax to send a document that it is holding. 
Unlike normal sending and receiving, in polling the receiver always calls the sender. This is called 
polling to receive a document. The sender sends  the document in response to the polling by a 
telephone call from the receiver.
NOTE
Your fax can be set up to function in both roles. Your fax can poll to receive a document, or it can be polled to send 
a document that it is holding.
Before You Use Polling Receiving
Before you try to set up polling, note the following points:
\200 With one operation you can poll several faxes. You can dial up to 142 telephone numbers and poll 
those faxes to receive documents that they are holding.
\200 If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which  has the Polling ID function, ask them to set the 
Polling ID of their fax machine to 255 (1111 1111 binary number). For details on the Polling ID, see 
the other party’s fax machine manual. In all ot her cases the Polling ID is not a concern.

CHAPTER
9Special Features
This chapter describes the special features of the machine.
Special Dialing
This section explains special dialing features, such as dialing through a switchboard and dialing 
international numbers.
Dialing Through a Switchboard
A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is an on-site te lephone switchboard. If your machine is connected 
through a PBX or other telephone switching system, you have to dial the outside line access number 
first, and then dial the number of the party you are calling.
You can register the type of access and the outside line access number under [R], so that you only 
have to press [R] before dialing the number you wish  to reach. Follow the instructions below to 
register [R].
Registering the Access Type and Outside Line Access Number 
Under the R button

2Press [  (-)] or [  (+)] to select   \002 press [OK] twice.
3Press [  (-)] or [  (+)] to select   \002 press [OK].

CHAPTER
14Maintaining Your Machine
Your machine requires no maintenance other than periodic cleaning, and replacing of the toner cartridge as needed.
Cleaning the Machine
Clean your machine regularly to  keep it in good operating condition.
NOTE
Follow these precautions whenever you clean the machine:
- When cleaning the machines exterior or the platen glass,  be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning 
the machine.
- When the power cord is disconnected, any documents stored in memory will be erased if you leave the machine  unplugged for 1 hour or more. Be sure to plug the machine in after cleaning to avoid this happening. If 
<
RECEIVED IN MEMORY> appears in the LCD display, follow steps on p. 7-6 to print out the document.
- If you disconnect the machine while it is waiting to send a document, you will have to set the machine to send 
your document again once you finish cleaning the machine. However, when you have set a document for 
delayed transmission, the machine holds the document in its memory for about 1 hour.
- Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or  generate static charges.
- Never use volatile liquids such as thinner, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the interior  of the machine; these can damage the machine
