FAX Set Up and Operation Guide
Introduction
This chapter provides examples of different fax features and tips for using FAX.
Examples of FAX set ups
FAX can be set up to perform several different functions. How you choose to set up 
FAX depends on your requirements for fax storage and retrieval.
The following examples describe how the  different fax features are used by a small 
fictitious company called Paddy’s Dance Studio. This company uses the Norstar 
Voice Mail Fax functions to inform callers of upcoming events and allow students 
to register by fax.
Example of a Fax-on-demand Mailbox set up
Paddy’s Dance Studio uses a Fax-on-demand Mailbox to inform students of 
upcoming events. In this mailbox there are three Fax messages that are updated 
every month. The first Fax message contains the schedule for regular and drop-in 
classes. The second Fax message lists the current prices for each class. The final Fax 
message contains a schedule for the upcoming special events such as musicals, 
dance recitals and open houses. Each of the Fax messages is sent using the one-call 
method. This means the caller pays for any charges incurred.
Since the Fax-on-demand Mailbox contains three different Fax messages, the 
greeting for this mailbox must contain instructions that tell the caller how to get the 
information they want. For example:
“Hello. You have reached Paddy’s Dance Studio’s fax information mailbox. If you 
are calling from a fax machine telephone, you can receive information on class 
schedules, prices, and upcoming special events. To retrieve class schedules, 
press  
. To get a detailed price list, press  ¤. To get information about 
upcoming special events, press  
.”
Sample Fax Messaging set up
The registrar of Paddy’s Dance Studio uses a personal mailbox to receive 
registration Fax messages from students. These Fax messages are sent to a mailbox 
and not the fax machine because the registration forms contain personal 
information, such as addresses and telephone numbers. The registration faxes are 
collected in the mailbox and sent to the fax machine when the registrar is available 
to pick them up.
