How to enter a pause in the fax number

Asked by Willy

My fax is behind a PBX. So I need to get the line with a 0 then pause until I get the line, and continue to dial after my Officejet get the line signal. Therefore I need to tell the Officejet to wait for some time after the initial 0. How can I define such a delay in the address book entry?

Regards
Willy

Willy? Which printer do you have? With the Photosmart 3310 a "-" creates a pause during the dialing process. Although your printer may be different so I'll want to verify with your printer model.

My printer is an OfficeJet 7310.

Sorry for the late reply.

Aaron,

"-" works fine with the HP Officejet 7310.

Thank you

Could this feature be documented?

At least I didn't find it in the documentation on http://hplip.sourceforge.net/

What does a '-' exactly do?

Does a fax number like "0-123" rellay pause until it gets the line
or does the '-' just wait/sleep for e.g. one second?

In case of the latter, would a fax number like "0---123-456"
dial the '0' and wait three seconds,
then dial "123" and wait one second
and finally dial "456"?
