Fax Machine 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 (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.
