Single Fax Machine
The single fax machine setup (shown in Figure 4-6) 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”). 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).
When you send a fax, the system automatically selects the fax line.
