It depends.
If your FAX is connected to an office network of telephones, where you must dial '9' to get an "outside" line, then your FAX must also dial '9'.
If you are trying to send a FAX to a "long-distance" telephone-number in Canada/USA, then you must dial '1' after dialing '9'.
Even if the destination FAX-number is a "local" telephone-call, you can dial '1' -- the telephone-company will recognize when you did not need to dial the '1', and will convert your "long-distance" call attempt into a "local" call, and will _NOT_ bill you for "long-distance" charges to that "local" number.
Hello,
If you are in an office or corporate environment where the phone system is on a PBX you need to dial 9 usually to get outside the office. If you just have the unit setup at home or to an analog phone jack (not going thru a PBX) then just dial 1 + area code + number. If the number is local then don't use a 1, just the phone number and area code.
