What you will see
A “Could not find shortcut #...” message displays on the control panel while you enter the shortcut code via the printer’s KEYPAD in the Fax menu.
NOTE: It works when pressing the # key directly while on the main screen and entering the code (e.g., five-digit shortcut) or using the TOUCH SCREENnumeric pad while in the Fax menu.
