Send and Receive Fax Machines

If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines, one that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 4-8, fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive machine. Line A is the fax line, the number of which is published as the fax number. If fax 2 doesn’t answer line A, fax 1 will.

To Use

When you send a fax, an outside line will be automatically selected. Incoming fax calls on the fax line are answered automatically by fax 2. If a fax comes in on a line other than line A, you can transfer the call to fax 2 (see “Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine” earlier in this chapter). 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). If fax 1 is set for Delayed Ring on Line A, fax 1 can pick up fax transmissions when fax 2 does not answer.

To Program Fax 1 (Send—Ext. X)

1.Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select outside lines first (line A selected last).

2.Set Line Ringing for line A at extension X to Delayed Ring; set all other lines to No Ring.

3.Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign one or more lines to extension X (including line A).

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 at extension X, 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.
