Single Fax Machine

The single fax machine setup (shown in Figure 5-1) is good for moderate traffic.

The fax machine has its own line (Line A), the number of which is published as

the fax number. (The fax line can be used by other phones when all other lines

are busy.) The fax machine is connected to its own extension (extension X).

To use:

The fax machine automatically answers all calls that come in on the fax line. If a

call comes in on another line, you can transfer the call to the fax extension (see

“Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine”).

When you pick up the handset to send a fax, the system automatically selects

the fax line. If you have programmed a Fax Management button, you can

transfer a call to the fax machine with a single touch, as well as monitor the

status of the fax machine (see “Fax Management Feature” earlier in this chapter).

Fax Line Saver

If you don’t use your fax machine enough to justify paying for its own outside

line, you can put the machine on its own extension. With this setup, you must

transfer calls to it manually. If you have programmed a Fax Management

button, you can transfer a call to the fax machine with a single touch, as well as

monitor the status of the fax machine (see “Fax Management Feature” earlier in

this chapter). Figure 5-2 shows the setup.

To use:

The person at extension X answers a call and hears a fax machine signaling on

the other end. Realizing that a fax call is coming in, this person transfers the

call to extension Y—the fax machine extension. To send a fax transmission in

this setup, simply lift the handset on the fax machine—an outside line will be

automatically selected.

Send and Receive Fax Machines

If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines,

one that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 5-3,

there are two fax machines. Fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive

machine. Line A is the fax line, the number of which is published as the fax

number. If fax 2 doesn’t answer line A, fax 1 will.

To use:

When you want to send a fax, just lift the handset of fax 1 and an outside line will

be automatically selected. Incoming fax calls on the fax line are answered

automatically by fax 2. If a fax comes in on a line other than line A, you can

transfer the call to fax 2 (see “Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine”). If you

have programmed a Fax Management button, you can transfer a call to the fax

machine with a single touch, as well as monitor the status of the fax machine

(see “Fax Management Feature” earlier in this chapter). If fax 1 is set for

“delayed” ring on line A, fax 1 can pick up fax transmissions when fax 2 does

not answer.
