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 (shown in Figure 4-6). With
this setup, you manually must transfer calls to the machine.

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.
(See “Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine” earlier in this chapter.)
To send a fax, simply lift the handset on the fax machine—an outside line will be
selected automatically.
To Set Up
1.
Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to the order in which you want
the fax machine to select outside lines.
2. Set
Line Ringing
for all lines on extension X to No Ring.
3.
Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
