PABX and TRANSFER

The machine is initially set to be connected with PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) lines. However, many offices use a central telephone system or Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX). Your fax can be connected to most types of PABX. The recall facility on the machine supports timed break recall only (TBR), PABXs normally can work with this for gaining access to an outside line, or for transferring a call to another extension: The feature works when the R key is pressed.

Setting PABX

If your machine is connected to a PABX system, set PBX:ON. If not, set OFF.

You can program an R keypress as part of a number stored in a Tel-Index location. When programming the Tel-Index number (Function menu 6-1) press R first (the screen displays “!”), then enter the telephone number. If you do this, you do not need to press R each time before you dial using a Tel-Index location.

(See Storing Tel-Index Numbers for Index on page 7-1.)

However, if PABX is set to OFF, you can’t use the Tel-Index location that an R keypress is programmed into.
