    and Dialing Options
    Storing Numbers for Easy Dialing
    You can set up your FAX/MFC for easy dialing: One Touch (FAX models 
    only), Speed Dial and Groups for Broadcasting faxes.
    Storing One Touch Dial Numbers (For FAX Models Only)
    You can store 8 fax/phone numbers that you can dial by pressing one key (and 
    Fax Start). You also can store names with these numbers. When you press a 
    One Touch dial location, the LCD shows the name or number as the call is 
    dialed. (See 
    One Touch Dialing (For FAX Models Only), page 7-5.)
    One Touch keys are not the dial pad keys. They are the 4 keys (numbers 1 to 4) 
    located on the left.
    Numbers 5 to 8 are accessed by holding down Shift while you press the 
    appropriate One Touch key.
    1Press Menu/Set, 2, 3, 1.
    2Press the One Touch key where you want to store a number. 
    The LCD shows the location you selected.
    3Enter a number (up to 20 digits), and then press Menu/Set. If you want to enter 
    a pause in the dialing sequence (for example, to wait for an “outside line”), press 
    Redial/Pause as you’re entering digits. A dash appears on the LCD. Pressing 
    Redial/Pause enters a 3.5 second pause when the number is dialed.
    4Use the dial pad to then enter the name 
    (up to 15 characters), and then press 
    Menu/Set. You can use the chart on 
    page 4-2 to help you enter letters—OR—To store the number without a name, 
    press Menu/Set. 
    5Return to Step 2 to store another One Touch number—OR—Press Stop/Exit.
    When you dial an auto dial number, the LCD shows the name you’ve stored, or, 
    if you haven’t stored a name, the number you’ve stored.
    If you loose electrical power, auto dial numbers in memory will not be lost.
    (For USA Only) One-Touch key 1 has been pre-programmed for the Brother fax-
    back system. One-Touch key 2 has been pre-programmed for the CallManage long 
    distance plan. You can override them if you wish.
    NoteIf you need to store a pause longer than 3.5 seconds, press Redial/Pause two 
    or more times.
    NoteYou can store Groups (for Broadcasting) on the One Touch keys.

    Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers 
    Sometimes you may want to choose from among several long distance carriers 
    when you make a call.  Rates may vary depending upon the time and destination.  
    To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance 
    carriers as One Touch (FAX models only) or Speed Dial numbers.  You can store 
    these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up on separate 
    keys in any combination.  You can even include manual dialing using the dial 
    pad.  The combined number will be dialed in the order you entered it, as soon as 
    you press Fax Start. (See 
    Storing One Touch Dial Numbers (For FAX Models 
    Only)
    , page 7-1, and Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-2.)
    For the FAX models, you can store “555” on One Touch key 3 and “7000” on 
    One Touch key 4.  If you press One Touch 3, 4, and Fax Start, you can dial 
    “5557000”.  To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the 
    number with manual dialing using the dial pad.  For example, to change the 
    number to 5557001 you could press One Touch 3 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using 
    the dialing pad.
    (For FAX-2800 and MFC-4800) you can store “555” on Speed Dial key # 03 
    and “7000” on Speed Dial key # 04. If you press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 3 
    and Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 4, and Fax Start, you can dial “5557000”.  To 
    temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number with manual 
    dialing using the dial pad.  For example, to change the number to 5557001 you 
    could press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 3 and then press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the 
    dialing pad.
    (For FAX-2900 and FAX-3800) you can store “555” on Speed Dial key # 003 
    and “7000” on Speed Dial key # 004. If you press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 
    0, 3 and Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 0, 4, and Fax Start, you can dial 
    “5557000”.  To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the 
    number with manual dialing using the dial pad.  For example, to change the 
    number to 5557001 you could press Search/Speed Dial, #, 0, 0, 3 and then 
    press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dialing pad.
    NoteIf you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store 
    a pause at that point in the number by pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press 
    adds a 3.5 second delay. 
    						
    							7 - 7   AUTO DIAL NUMBERS AND DIALING OPTIONS
    Broadcasting
    Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax 
    numbers. Using the Menu/Set key, you can include Groups, One Touch 
    locations  (FAX models only), Speed Dial locations plus up to 50 manually 
    dialed numbers. If you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or 
    credit card numbers, you can broadcast faxes automatically to up to 178 
    (FAX-2900 and FAX-3800), 158 (FAX-2800) or 150 (MFC-4800) different 
    locations from the FAX/MFC. However, available memory will vary with all 
    types of jobs in memory and numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you 
    broadcast to more than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to 
    set up transmissions using dual access and the timer.
    The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys. You can include One Touch 
    (FAX models only), Speed Dial, and manually dialed numbers in the same 
    broadcast. (See 
    Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting, page 7-3.)
    You must press Menu/Set between each of these locations. 
    Use the Search/Speed Dial to help you choose the numbers easily.
    After the broadcast is finished, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically 
    to let you know the results.
    To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop/Exit.  The LCD asks if you 
    want to cancel all locations or only the location that is being sent.
    Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you normally would. Keep in mind 
    that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can call 
    becomes limited.
    If the line is busy or for other reasons a connection could not be made while 
    broadcasting, the FAX/MFC will redial the number automatically.
    If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to abort the job; if more than one page 
    has been scanned, press Fax Start to send the portion that is in the memory.
    1Place the original face down in the ADF.
    2Enter a number using One Touch (FAX models only), Speed Dial, Group 
    number, Search or the dial pad.
    Example: Group number
    3Press Menu/Set. You will be prompted to press the next number.
    4Enter the next number.
    Example: Speed Dial
    5Press Menu/Set.
    6Enter the fax number.
    Example: Manual dialing using the dial pad.
    7Press Fax Start.
    Your FAX/MFC will read the original into memory and then start sending faxes 
    to the numbers you entered.
