Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine
There are two situations in which you would want to transfer a call to your fax
machine:
■
■
You answer an outside call and hear a fax machine signaling. (A fax signal
is a single beep sequence— BEEP . . . BEEP . . . BEEP). If you hear this, you
should transfer the call immediately to the fax machine extension.
You are on a call and the person to whom you are speaking has a fax
machine connected to his or her phone and wants to fax you something.
You can receive the fax by transferring the call to the fax extension. Tell the
other party to wait until the fax tone sounds before pressing the fax
machine’s [
Start
] button.
To transfer the call to the fax extension:

Press [

] plus the fax’s extension number. When the fax machine
answers, hang up.
Using the Fax Machine’s “Notify” Feature
Certain AT&T fax machines, like the AT&T 9025FX and 9035FX, have a feature
called Notify. After these machines receive a fax call, they automatically dial a
number and play a recorded message, such as, "You have just received a fax."
If you need to know exactly when a fax comes in, or if your fax machine is
located in an isolated part of your building, you can set up the fax machine to
make a ringing or voice-signaled intercom call to another extension. (Program
the fax machine to dial [
✼
] plus the extension number for a voice-signaled call.)
Set up the fax machine extension’s Automatic Line Selection for “Intercom first,”
followed by whatever outside lines you want to assign to it. If the machine has
an auto dial feature, program a [
9
] [
pause
] [
pause
] before each auto dial number.
When manually making a call, dial [
9
] to get an outside line. For instructions on
how to set the Automatic Line Selection, see p. 3-3.
