Fax Line Saver
If you do not 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 4-7 shows the setup.

To Use
When a person answers a call and hears a fax machine signaling on the other
end, the person can transfer the call to extension X—the fax machine extension.
To send a fax transmission, simply lift the handset on the fax machine—an
outside line will be automatically selected.
To Program
1.
Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to Line A, B, C, . . . .
2.
Set Line Ringing for all lines on extension X to No Ring.
3. Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all lines to extension X.
4.
Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
5.
Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Pickup Group Extension (#501),
Calling Group Extension (#502), Night Service Group Extension (#504),
or Hunt Group Extension (#505).
6.
To monitor the fax machine, use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to identify
extension X as a fax extension and program a Fax Management button by
programming the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button.
