Manual Transfer of Calls to Fax Machines—
Release 2.0 or Later
9
There are two situations when you 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). Transfer the call immediately to the fax machine extension.
■
You are on a call with a person who wants to send you a fax by using the fax machine that is
connected to his or her telephone. You can receive the fax by transferring the call to your fax
extension. Tell the other party to wait until he or she hears the fax signal before sending the
fax.
There are four ways to transfer the call to the fax extension:
■
Press the Fax Management button. When the fax machine answers, hang up.
■
If you do not have a Fax Management button, press
&
plus the fax machine’s extension
number. When the fax machine answers, hang up.
■
On a standard telephone, rapidly press and release the switchhook to place the call on hold.
Then dial the fax extension number and hang up.
■
If you have multiple fax machines in an extension Hunt Group, press
&
, then
i77
plus the fax extension Hunt Group number. When a fax machine answers, hang
up.
Setting Up Fax Machines
9
There are many ways to set up fax machines. The following configurations are basic and easy to
use:
■
Single fax machine. Good for light or moderate fax traffic. This basic setup uses a published
fax number.
■
Fax machine line saver. Good for light fax traffic, with no need for a published fax number.
■
Send and receive fax machines. Good for high-volume fax traffic. One machine sends, the
other receives.
You can install both a telephone and a fax machine on the same extension. This lets you receive
both voice and fax calls on the same line (but not at the same time). If you pick up the telephone
and hear a fax signal, push the Start button on your fax machine and hang up.
If you have a PARTNER Messaging or PARTNER MAIL system and a fax call comes
in on a line covered by the PARTNER Messaging or PARTNER MAIL system, you
can program its Automated Attendant Service to automatically transfer the call to a
fax extension or (if you have multiple fax machines) to the extension Hunt Group for
the fax machines.
