ADDING A FAX MACHINE
52
NOTE:
Do not connect a fax machine to Line 1. Doing so will interrupt
the system’s intercom data channel.
You may wish to use a fax machine with your phone. Choose Line 2, 3 or
4 for the fax machine, and connect it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
•
That line’s telephone number is your fax number.
•
The same line can be used for outgoing calls (incoming faxes will get a
busy signal).
•
Set your fax machine to answer on the first ring (follow manufacturer’s
instructions).
•
To prevent the fax line from ringing at all the extensions, turn the
ringer off for that line (see "Turn Ringer On or Off" in SET UP SYSTEM
FEATURES).
NOTE:
If you are using a fax switch, or a fax machine with a built-in
fax switch, see "Using a Fax Switch."
Using a Fax Switch
A fax switch lets the system know, before the phone rings, whether an
incoming call is a voice call or a fax call. Some fax machines have a built-in
fax switch. Using a fax switch may affect the operation of Line-in-use lights
and the display of Caller ID information.
