Dial Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers
Sometimes you may want to choose from several long-distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary
depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes of long-
distance carriers and credit card numbers as Address Book numbers.
You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate Address Book
numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialing.

MFC-J491DW/MFC-J497DW
For example: you might have stored ‘555’ on Address Book: Brother 1 (#03) and ‘7000’ on Address Book:
Brother 2 (#02). You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the following:
1. Press (Address Book).
2. Press a or b to select [Search] and then press OK.
3. Enter 03 (the two-digit Speed Dial number of Brother 1) using the dial pad.
4. Press a or b to select [Address Book], and then press OK.
5. Read and review the message on the LCD, and then press c.
6. Press a or b to select [Search] and then press OK.
7. Enter 02 (the two-digit Speed Dial number of Brother 2) using the dial pad.
8. Press Black Start or Color Start.
You will dial '555-7000'.
To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number by using the dial pad. For example, to
change the number to '555-7001', you could enter the number (Brother 1: 555) using Address Book, and then
press 7001 using the dial pad.
If you must wait for another dial tone or signal at any point in the dialing sequence, create a pause in the
number by pressing Redial/Pause.
