Connecting to a PBX
A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a private telephone system used to route internal calls. If you have to dial a prefix (access) number to get an outside line, then your line is connected to a PBX.
If you are connecting your machine to a PBX, follow the instructions below. These setting changes allow your machine to identify your PBX’s outside line dial prefix digits in the numbers that you program or dial in your machine. After it dials the prefix digits, your machine waits until it sees that the outside line is available before dialing the rest of the number.
Warning: Some PBX installations may require additional adjustments to your machine. If you continue to have difficulty with fax communication after following these steps, contact your dealer.
