Fax Machines

This section suggests several ways you can set up fax machines to work with

your system. It includes instructions for programming and using a Fax

Management button on a system phone (in order to monitor the status of a fax

machine and transfer calls to it with a single touch), transferring calls to the fax

machine extension, and using an AT&T fax machine’s Notify feature.

Using Fax Machines

Fax Management Feature

On any system phone, you can program a button with lights to serve as a Fax

Management button. The lights next to this button tell you when the fax machine

is in use, available, or not answering (for example, when it is out of paper). You

can also use the button to transfer calls from your extension to the fax machine

with a single touch.

Programming for Fax Management

To program a Fax Management button, first assign the fax machine extension

using Fax Machine Extensions (#601). (See Chapter 5 for details.) Then

program the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button. For more

information, see “Auto Dialing” in Chapter 5.

Using the Fax Management Button

The lights next to the Fax Management button show what is happening at the fax

machine—see Table 4-1.

Table 4-1. Fax Management Button Light Patterns

Light Pattern

Indicates...

Red broken

Fax trouble. The fax machine is not answering.

flutter

If broken flutter occurs because the fax machine

is out of paper, refill the paper. The light clears

the next time the machine transmits or receives

a call. If the machine takes longer than four

rings to answer, the light shows fax trouble;

when the machine does answer, the light

changes to fax busy (red steady).

Red steady

Fax busy. The fax machine is busy transmitting

or receiving a call.

Green flash

Fax calling. The green flash indicates that the

fax machine extension is calling you. An AT&T

fax machine with the “Notify” feature can call

you automatically after it receives a

transmission. See “Using the Fax Machine’s

Notify Feature” on the next page.

Green flutter

Fax transfer return. A call you transferred to

the fax machine was not answered and is

returning to you.
