Pause at Connection

Solutions for : How To Send a Fax Solution : Insert a Pause When Dialing a Fax Number With some telephone systems, an access code must be dialed and a second dial tone will then be heard. For example, a "9" might need to be used to get an outside line.
In such cases, a pause in the telephone number needs to be inserted.
Pauses can be inserted when setting up speed dial numbers.
To insert a pause, press [Pause / Redial] button at the appropriate place when entering the telephone number. A dash "-" appears on the display at the corresponding location.

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.

Hi ...

It might be possible that the line is loose or the long distance calling code is incorrect. Follow the below instructions which might resolve the problem.

Sending Using a Long Distance Calling Code The telephone company or PBX system may use long distance calling codes on a phone line as a means to manage long distance calls. This service may extend to a fax phone line and for local phone calls as well. To use a calling code for faxing, enter a pause (or pauses, as necessary) in the dialing sequence to allow time for the phone system to distinguish between the phone number and the calling code. For example, if the calling code has to be entered after the phone number, press <Redial/Pause> after the long distance number and then enter the calling code.
Here is an example of a couple of variations that may be used by the phone company / PBX system. (For details on time sequence between the long distance number and when you must enter the calling code, please contact your phone company or telecommunications specialist.)
Long distance number: 212.555.1212
Calling code: 123456
Scenario One: 12125551212p123456 Scenario Two: 123456p12125551212

Note: The above scenarios include a pause (p) in between the dialing sequence. This pause may be necessary to allow the phone system to detect each set of dialing sequences. The pause length can be adjusted from one to nine seconds, the default is two seconds.

Tips to help you send a fax using a calling code.

1. To send a fax using a calling code, it may be necessary to add a pause(s) before the next string of dialing digits. The above example shows how a calling code is used to dial a long distance fax number. To provide time before the calling code number is dialed and avoid misdialing, a pause should be added.
   
   Example: 12125551212p123456
   
   The number of pauses will depend on the phone / PBX system.
   
   It is suggested to confirm if the time before the next set of digits is dialed will always be constant. This way you can always use the same number of pauses for that dialing sequence. If needed, you can also change the pause [Pause time] length from its default 2 seconds.
   
   
2. Connect a telephone to the fax machine.
   
   1. Connect a line cord from the telephone wall jack to the [L] jack (or item <1>) on the fax machine.
      
      
      
   2. Connect a line cord from the extension telephone port on the fax machine (top jack (or item <2>)) to an external telephone.
      
      
      
      
3. To send a fax using a calling code, it is recommended to dial using the attached telephone.
   
   1. Press the <FAX> button on the operator panel.
      
   2. Insert the documents face-up on the ADF.
      
      
      
   3. Pick up the handset of the attached telephone and confirm you hear a dial tone.
      
   4. Dial the fax destination number on the attached telephone.
      
   5. When you are prompted to enter your calling code, dial it on the attached phone.
      
   6. When you hear the remote fax machine's high-pitched receive tones, press <Color> to send a color fax or <Black> to send a black and white fax. The audio signal heard from the handset will be cut off.
      
   7. Hang up the handset.
      
   8. When the transaction is complete, the fax machine will return to standby mode.

in windows xp
click on start and click on control panel/settings
click on printers and faxes.
right click your printer icon and then select pause printing.

after you dial the number you hit the pause button (usually 1-2 times) then dial additional numbers.


basically everytime you need the machine to wait for something to happen you need to hit pause

example: i have to dial five digit access code for my fax for LD calls it would be dialed on fax like this


1-234-567-8901 pause pause 12345 start

Call the operator to find out the country code and the city code. I believe the overseas access code for Canada is 011, but you'll have to check with the operator

overseas calls must use 011 then the country code 866 then teh city code then the fax number . Do not dial starting with a 1 otherwise you will be calling in North America

It might be that the memory chip is fryed and it thinks that you are hitting the pause button, or eather it is that something is caught in the pause button. Take it a part or find something that will fit in between the pause button and clean it.
