This function is used when your fax is installed with a 
private network, behind a company’s PABX. It allows you 
to program an additional automatic local prefix (to be 
defined), enabling you to automatically exit the 
company’s telephone network system, but only under 
certain conditions:
• the company’s internal numbers, where a prefix is not 

required, must be short numbers less than the 
minimal size (to be defined, for example France has 
10 digits),

• the outside numbers requiring a prefix, must be long 

numbers greater or equal to the minimal size (to be 
defined, for example France has 10 digits).

Programming your fax with the local prefix consists of two 
steps:

1 defining the minimal size (or equal) of the 

company’s outside numbers,

2 defining the outgoing local prefix of the company’s 

telephone network. This prefix will automatically be 
added as soon as an external number is dialled.
