the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity or
other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending
machines or such business, other entity, or individual. In order to program this
information into your fax machine, you should complete the steps described on

You can use chain dialing to store long dialing sequences. For example, to store
9 1 201 555 1234 987 65 4321, divide the number into 2 parts. Store the
first part as a Chain type number (this tells the system that the dialing sequence is
not complete).
CHAIN — 9 1 201 555 1234
The last part of the One-Touch number must be stored as any of the other
following 3 types.
FAX or F/T or TEL — 987 65 4321
Now, when you dial, just press the two keys (one after the other, in order) where
you’ve stored the two parts of the number.
