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).
