Creating shortcuts

Creating a fax destination shortcut using the Embedded Web Server

Instead of entering the entire phone number of a fax recipient on the printer control panel each time you want to send a fax, you can create a permanent fax destination and assign a shortcut number. A shortcut can be created to a single fax number or a group of fax numbers.

  1. Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.

    Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
  2. Click Settings.

  3. Click Manage Shortcuts.

    Note: A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and password, get one from your system support person.
  4. Click Fax Shortcut Setup.

  5. Type a unique name for the shortcut, and then enter the fax number.

    To create a multiple-number shortcut, enter the fax numbers for the group.

    Note: Separate each fax number in the group with a semicolon (;).
  6. Assign a shortcut number.

    If you enter a number that is already in use, then you are prompted to select another number.

  7. Click Add.

Creating a fax destination shortcut using the touch screen

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

    Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. On the home screen, touch Fax.

  4. Enter the fax number.

    To create a group of fax numbers, touch Next number, and then enter the next fax number.

  5. Touch Save as Shortcut.

  6. Enter a name for the shortcut.

  7. Verify that the shortcut name and number are correct, and then touch OK. If the name or number is incorrect, then touch Cancel, and then reenter the information.

    If you enter a number that is already in use, then you are prompted to select another number.

  8. Touch Fax It to send the fax, or touch touch the home icon to return to the home screen.
