announcement over your loudspeaker paging system and the speakers of
idle system phones in Calling Group 1.

For all of these examples, program the fax machine extension’s Automatic Line
Selection to select intercom first, followed by whatever outside lines or pools
you want to assign to it. (If you set the fax extension to select intercom first and
the machine has an auto dial feature, program a 9 and one of more pauses (if
available) before each Auto Dial number. In Hybrid mode, if the call is to be
placed using a specific pool, program the pool access code and a few pauses
before each auto dial number. When manually making a call, dial [

] to get an

outside line or pool. (For instructions on how to set the Automatic Line
Selection, see Chapter 5.)

There are many ways to set up fax machines. The following configurations are
basic and easy to use:

■

■

■

■

Single fax machine.  Good for light or moderate fax traffic. This basic
setup uses a published fax number.

Fax machine line saver. Good for light fax traffic, with no need for a
published fax number.

Send and receive fax machines. Good for high-volume fax traffic. One
machine sends, the other receives.

You can install both a telephone and a fax machine on the same extension—see
“Combination Extensions” in the  PARTNER 

Installation guide. This lets you receive both voice and fax calls on the same
line (but not at the same time). If you pick up the phone and hear a fax signal,
push the Start button on your fax machine and then hang up.

If you are using the PARTNER MAIL system’s Automated Attendant Service, you
can program PARTNER MAIL to transfer fax calls to the fax extension or a group
of fax extensions automatically. Use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to identify
fax extensions. To transfer to multiple fax machines, put all of the fax extensions
into a single Hunt Group (any group 1–6) using Hunt Group Extensions (#505).

You can use dialing restrictions to restrict calling activity on a fax machine. For
example, you can use Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to restrict the fax
machine to local calls only. For a more detailed discussion of dialing
restrictions, see Chapter 2.
